Acute Toxicity: dermal

Administrative data

Endpoint:

acute toxicity: dermal

Type of information:

experimental study

Adequacy of study:

key study

Reliability:

other: see 'Remark'

Remarks:

Guideline study. No information about GLP compliance available. The study was conducted using skin that had been abraded (care was taken so as to only penetrate the stratum corneum and not the dermis). This deviates from the current OECD Guideline 402, however, this is not considered to affect the outcome of the study as the test material resulted in an LD50 of > 2000 mg/kg.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:

study cannot be used for classification

Remarks:

Migrated information

Conclusions:

The test report describes a valid guideline study, without information about GLP compliance. The acute dermal LD50 was determined to be > 2000 mg/kg. Thus, the test substance can be considered as not acutely toxic via the dermal route.

Executive summary:

An acute dermal study was conducted using a similar procedure to that described in the current OECD Guideline 402. The test material (CAS No. 73984 -93 -7) was applied at a dose of 2000 mg/kg to the backs of five male and five female rabbits. The substance was left in contact with the skin for 24 hours and then the test sites were washed with 0.9 % sodium chloride and the rabbits observed during this time and for 14 days after its removal. No rabbits died during the study, dermal irritation was present in all rabbits during the majority of the 14 day observation period following removal of the wrappings. Gross necropsy findings in all rabbits were within normal limits. The acute dermal LD50 was determined to be greater than 2000 mg/kg.
