equivalent or similar to guideline
Guideline:
OECD Guideline 434 (Acute Dermal Toxicity - Fixed Dose Procedure)

Administration / exposure

Type of coverage:
semiocclusive
Vehicle:
unchanged (no vehicle)
Details on dermal exposure:
TEST SITE
- Type of wrap if used: the test material was applied to sleeves of rubber dental dam. Each sleeve will be wrapped around the trunk of the respective animal and secured with staples. An outer layer of gauze was warpped aound the trunck of each animal and secured with tape. Each rabbit was then be fitted with an appropriate restraining device to prevent the removal of the wrapping.

REMOVAL OF TEST SUBSTANCE
- Washing (if done): any unabsorbed test material remaining on the skin was removed by gentle sponging using a tower moistened with water of other solvent.
- Time after start of exposure: 24 h

TEST MATERIAL
- Amount(s) applied (volume or weight with unit): 2000 mg/kg (2.05 mL/kg)
- Constant volume or concentration used: no

VEHICLE
- Amount(s) applied (volume or weight with unit): not applicable
- Concentration (if solution): not applicable
- Lot/batch no. (if required): not applicable
Duration of exposure:
24 hours
Doses:
2000 mg/kg body weight
No. of animals per sex per dose:
5 male, 5 female
Control animals:
not required
Details on study design:
- Duration of observation period following administration: 14 days
- Frequency of observations and weighing: Observations at peveryday of dosing (day 1) and twice daily thereafter for at least 14 days; Bodyweight measurements taken on days 1 and 14.
- Necropsy of survivors performed: yes
- Other examinations performed: body weight, clinical signs, skin irritation, skin fur, eyes and mucous membrane, and behavior pattern, tremors, convulsion, salivations, diarrhea, lethargy, sleep and coma.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
not classified
Remarks:
Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
Conclusions:
The acute dermal median lethal dose (LD50) of the test material was found to be greater than 2000 mg/kg bodyweight.
Executive summary:

In an acute dermal toxicity study, a group of New Zealand rabbits (five male and five female) were dermally exposed to the test substance for 24 hours at a dose level of  2000  mg/kg bw.  Animals then were observed for 14 days.

The treated skin surface of animals showed irritation after test material removal, but there were no other clinical signs of toxicity or behavioral changes over the 15 day observation period. Macroscopic examination of all animals at the end of the study did not reveal any changes that were considered to have arisen as a result of treatment.

The dermal LD50 was estimated to exceed 2000 mg/kg bw.
