- Sex:

- Effect level:

- Based on:
- test mat.
- Remarks on result:
- no indication of skin irritation up to the relevant limit dose level
- Mortality:
- No mortality occurred
- Clinical signs:
- No systemic clinical signs were observed during clinical examination. No local effects were observed.
- Body weight:
- The body weights of the male animals increased within the normal range throughout the study period. The body weights of the female animals increased in two animals within the normal range throughout the study period. During the first week, one female showed loss of body weight but this female gained weight normally during the second week. In two female animals the body weights increased in a normal range during the first week but slightly decreased or stagnated during the second week. Due to the fact that stagnation or slight loss of body weight is commonly known for females after dermal applications, this effect is not considered to be treatment-related.
- Gross pathology:
- No macroscopic pathologic abnormalities were noted in any animal examined on the last day of observation (5 males and 5 females).
- Interpretation of results:
- GHS criteria not met
- Conclusions:
- Under the conditions of this study the median lethal dose (LD50) of the test item after dermal application was found to be greater than 2000 mg/kg bw in male and female rats.
- Executive summary:
In an acute dermal toxicity study (Limit Test), young adult Wistar rats (5 males and 5 females) were dermally exposed to a single dose of 2000 mg/kg bw of the test item (as suspension in corn oil Ph.Eur.). The clipped application site (dorsal and dorso-lateral parts of the trunk, comprising at least 10% of the total body surface) was covered by semi-occlusive dressing during the 24-hour exposure period. The animals were observed for 14 days. No mortality occurred. Neither signs of systemic toxicity nor local skin effects were observed. The body weights of the male animals increased within the normal range throughout the study period. The body weights of the female animals increased in two animals within the normal range throughout the study period. During the first week, one female showed loss of body weight but this female gained weight during the second week. In two female animals, the body weights increased in a normal range during the first week but slightly decreased or stagnated during the second week. Due to the fact that stagnation or slight loss of body weight is commonly known for females after dermal applications, this effect is not considered to be treatment-related. No macroscopic pathologic abnormalities were noted in the animals examined at the end of the study (5 males and 5 females). Accordingly, the acute dermal median lethal dose (LD50) was determined to be greater than 2000 mg/kg bw.

Additional information
Acute oral toxicity
In a GLP-compliant acute oral toxicity study (limit test) similar to OECD guideline 423, the test substance (as suspension in polyethylene glycol PEG 400) was applied per gavage to 5 male and 5 female young rats (Tif: RAIf) at a single dose of 5000 mg/kg body weight. The animals were fasted overnight before the application of the test substance. Physical condition and rate of deaths were monitored throughout an observation period of 14 days.
No mortality occurred. Except of some slight to moderate signs and symptoms on the day of test substance application, which disappeared completely within one week, no signs of severe toxicity were observed.
Therefore, the acute oral LD50 of the test substance was determined to be greater than 5000 mg/kg body weight.
Acute dermal toxicity
In a GLP-compliant acute dermal toxicity study (Limit Test) following OECD guideline 402, young adult Wistar rats (5 males and 5 females) were dermally exposed to a single dose of 2000 mg/kg bw of the test item (as suspension in corn oil Ph.Eur.). The clipped application site (dorsal and dorso-lateral parts of the trunk, comprising at least 10% of the total body surface) was covered by semi-occlusive dressing during the 24-hour exposure period. The animals were observed for 14 days. No mortality occurred. Neither signs of systemic toxicity nor local skin effects were observed. The body weights of the male animals increased within the normal range throughout the study period. The body weights of the female animals increased in two animals within the normal range throughout the study period. One female showed loss of body weight during the first week but weight gain was noted in week two. In two female animals, the body weights slightly decreased or stagnated during the second week. Since stagnation or slight loss of body weight is commonly known for females after dermal applications, this effect is not considered to be treatment-related. No macroscopic pathologic abnormalities were noted in the animals examined at the end of the study (5 males and 5 females). Accordingly, the acute dermal median lethal dose (LD50) was determined to be greater than 2000 mg/kg body weight.
Justification for classification or non-classification
The available experimental test data are reliable and suitable for classification purposes under Regulation 1272/2008. As a result the substance is not considered to be classified for acute toxicity under Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008.
