Guideline:
EU Method B.3 (Acute Toxicity (Dermal))
Deviations:
no
Principles of method if other than guideline:
The acute percutaneous toxicity of BCI-MX was investigated in a group of 5 male and 5 female CD rats. The test material was applied to the closely-clipped dorsum of each animal at a dosage of 2000 mg/kg bw, and was covered by an occlusive dressing for 24 hours. Mortality and systemic or local signs of reaction to treatment were recorded during a subsequent 14-day period of observation. The animals were killed on the following day and subjected to necropsy.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
LD50 dermal > 2000 mg/kg bw.
Executive summary:

An acute dermal toxicity study (limit test) was performed on male and female Sprague-Dawley rats according to OECD TG 402. No mortalities, clinical signs or local effects were observed during the 14 -day observation period. The resulting dermal LD50 was > 2000 mg/kg bw.
