Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
Under the test conditions, the dermal LD50 of test item is higher than 5000 mg/kg bw in rabbits therefore it is not classified according to the Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008 and to the GHS.
Executive summary:

In an acute dermal toxicity study performed pre-GLP and pre-OECD but conducted similarly to OECD Guideline 402, a group of New Zealand white rabbits (10 animals/dose) were given a single dermal application of Compound No. 72-22 at 5000 mg/kg bw. The test item was applied to the abraded abdominal skin. The test site was then covered by a semi-occlusive dressing for 24 h. Animals were then observed for mortality, clinical signs and bodyweights for 7 days and were all sacrificed for macroscopic examination.

No mortality or clinical signs was observed. Slight to moderate erythema and edema were noticed throughout the observation period. Body weight evolution of the animals remained normal throughout the study. No abnormalities were noted at necropsy. The dermal LD50 of test item was considered to be higher than 5000 mg/kg bw in rabbits.

Under the test conditions, the dermal LD50 of test item is higher than 5000 mg/kg bw in rabbits therefore it is not classified according to the Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008 and to the GHS.

This study is acceptable and satisfies the requirements for acute dermal toxicity endpoint.
