Details on test animals or test system and environmental conditions:
TEST ANIMALS
- Source: CIBA-Geigy Ltd., Animal Production, 4332 Stein, Switzerland
- Age at study initiation: Young adult rats
- Weight at study initiation: 225 - 289 g
- Housing: Individual housing in Macrolon cages type 3 with standardised soft wood bedding (Societe Parisienne des Sciures, Pantin, France)
- Diet: ad libitum NAFAG 890 Tox, NAFAG, Gossau/ SG, Switzerland
- Water: ad libitum
- Acclimation period: At least 5 days

ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS
- Temperature (°C): 22 +/- 2
- Humidity (%): 55 +/- 10
- Air changes (per hr): 15
- Photoperiod (hrs dark / hrs light): 12/12

Administration / exposure

Type of coverage:
semiocclusive
Vehicle:
other: 0.5 % (w/v) Carboxymethylcellulose in 0.1 % (w/v) aqueous polysorbate 80
Details on dermal exposure:
TEST SITE
- Area of exposure: Back of the rat
- % coverage: ≥ 10
- Type of wrap: Gauze-lined semi-occlusive dressing fastened around the trunk with an adhesive elastic bandage.

REMOVAL OF TEST SUBSTANCE
- Washing (if done): Washing the skin with lukewarm water
- Time after start of exposure: 24 h

VEHICLE
- Amount(s) applied: 4 ml/kg bw
- Concentration: 40 %

OTHER
24 h before study begin an area of the back of the rat was shaved with an electric clipper (at least 10 % of the body surface)
Duration of exposure:
24 h
Doses:
1600 mg/kg bw
Due to the physical-chemical properties, the test substance had to be suspended in a higher vehicle volume (40 instead of 50%). Adhering to guidelines and SOP, and respecting the maximal application volume (4 ml/kg) a limit dose of 1600 mg/kg has been appplied by direct weighing.
No. of animals per sex per dose:
5
Control animals:
no
Details on study design:
- Duration of observation period following administration: 14 days
- Frequency of weighing: Immediately before study begin and on days 7 and 14
- Necropsy of survivors performed: Yes
- Other examinations performed: clinical signs and symptoms (daily for 14 days), mortality (daily: a.m and p.m on working days, a.m. on weekend days)

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
Upon an acute dermal administration and a 14 day post-treatment observation period, the LD50 was determined to be > 1600 mg/kg body weight.
Executive summary:

The acute dermal toxicity of the test substance was assessed in a toxicity study following OECD guideline 402 and in compliance with GLP. The test article was administered to five rats of each sex by dermal application at 1600 mg/kg body weight for 24 hours. Higher doses were technically not possible. Animals were subjected to daily observations and weekly determination of body weight. Macroscopic examination was performed after terminal sacrifice. No mortality occurred. Piloerection was seen, being a common symptom in acute dermal tests. The animals recovered within 2 days. At autopsy, no deviations from normal morphology were found. The dermal LD50 value of the test substance in rats was established to exceed 1600 mg/kg body weight.
