Endpoint:
acute toxicity: dermal
Type of information:
migrated information: read-across based on grouping of substances (category approach)
Adequacy of study:
weight of evidence
Study period:
14 Jan - 5 Feb 1999
Reliability:
2 (reliable with restrictions)
Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
other: see 'Remark'
Remarks:
GLP-Guideline study tested with the source substance CAS 111-20-6. In accordance to the ECHA guidance document "Practical guide 6: How to report read-across and categories (March 2010)", the reliability was changed from RL1 to RL2 to reflect the fact that this study was conducted on a read-across substance.

Administration / exposure

Type of coverage:
semiocclusive
Vehicle:
unchanged (no vehicle)
Details on dermal exposure:
TEST SITE
- Area of exposure: clipped skin of the dorsal surface (6x5 cm²)
- % coverage: 10
- Type of wrap if used: The test material was held in contact with the skin with a porous gauze dressing fixed to the skin with hypoallergenic non-irritating tape. The site was further covered in a suitable manner in order to ensure that the animals could not ingest the test substance.

REMOVAL OF TEST SUBSTANCE
- Washing (if done): Residual test substance was removed with water.
- Time after start of exposure: 24 h

TEST MATERIAL
- The test material was applied uniformely onto a porous gauze which was moistened with 0.9% NaCl solution.
Duration of exposure:
24 h
Doses:
2000 mg/kg bw
No. of animals per sex per dose:
5
Control animals:
not required
Details on study design:
- Duration of observation period following administration: 14 days
- Frequency of observations and weighing: Animals were observed at 30 minutes, 2, 4 and 6 h on the first day after administration (day 1) and then twice daily until the end of the observation period. Weighing was done before administration of the test substance and on days 8 and 15.
- Necropsy of survivors performed: yes
- Other examinations performed: clinical signs, body weight
