- Housing: Rats were housed individually in standard polysulfone cages (Size: approximately L 425 x B 266 x H 175 mm), with stainless steel top grill having facilities for pelletted food and drinking water. Bedding: steam sterilized clean paddy husk was used and changed along with the cage twice a week.

- Details on dermal exposure:
- Approximately 24 hours prior to treatment, the hair on the dorsolateral thoracic surface of the skin was clipped (approximately 8 x 10 cm) with an electric clipper (Aesculap® - Germany).
Doses were calculated based on individual body weight, the undiluted test item at the dose of 5000 mg/kg body weight (A volume of 4.5 ml/kg bodyweight) was applied directly to the prepared skin of the animal, taking care to spread the substance evenly over the entire dose area, and covered with a cotton gauze (size: 9 x 5 cm of 6 ply for males and 8 x 5 cm of 6 ply for females) and secured in position by adhesive tape wound around torso. The test item contact period with the skin was for 24 hours.
After the 24-hour contact period, the patches were removed and the application site was wiped with water using clean towels to remove any residual test substance. - Duration of exposure:
- 24 hours
- Doses:
- 5000 mg/kg body weight
- 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 observations and weighing: Observations: four times on the test day one (at hourly intervals after application) and once daily during days 2 - 15.
Weighing: Individual body weights of animals were recorded on test days 1 (Pre-application), 8 (7 days post application) and 15 (14 days post application).
- Necropsy of survivors performed: yes - Statistics:
- None
Results and discussion
- Preliminary study:
- An initial dose of 5000 mg/kg was applied. This dose level did not produce test substance related mortality, hence, no additional dose levels were tested.
Effect levels

Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Interpretation of results:
- not classified
- Remarks:
- Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
- Conclusions:
- Based on the results, the acute dermal LD50 of Diethylene glycol mono phenyl ether in Wistar rats is greater than 5000 mg/kg body weight.
- Executive summary:
The acute dermal toxicity of Diethylene glycol mono phenyl ether was tested in male and female Wistar rats.
Based on the individual body weight, the undiluted test item at the dose of 5000 mg/kg body weight (a volume of 4.5 ml/kg bodyweight) was applied directly to the prepared skin of the animal, taking care to spread the substance evenly over the entire dose area, and covered with a cotton gauze (size: 9 x 5 cm of 6 ply for males and 8 x 5 cm of 6 ply for females) and secured in position by adhesive tape wound around torso. The test item contact period with the skin was for 24 hours. After 24 hour contact period with the skin, the unabsorbed test item at the site of application was removed by wiping with water and the rats were observed for 15 days. There were no toxic signs, local skin reactions and pre-terminal deaths. There were no abnormalities detected at necropsy.
Based on the above results it is concluded that the LD50 of Diethylene glycol mono phenyl ether is greater than 5000 mg/kg bodyweight.
