- Number of animals: 5 males and 5 females (females were nulliparous and non-pregnant)
- Age and body weight: Young adult animals (approx. 11 weeks old) were selected. Body weight variation did not exceed +/- 20% of the sex mean
- Health inspection: A health inspection was performed prior to commencement of treatment, to ensure that the animals were in a good state of health. Special attention was paid to the skin to be treated, which was intact and free from any abnormality
- Conditions: Animals were housed in a controlled environment, in which optimal conditions were considered to be approximately 15 air changes per hour, a temperature of 21.0 ± 3.0ºC (actual range: 18.4 – 21.7ºC), a relative humidity of 40-70% (actual range: 31 - 88%) and 12 hours artificial fluorescent light and 12 hours darkness per day
- Accommodation: Individually housed in labeled Macrolon cages (MIII type, height 18 cm.) containing sterilized sawdust as bedding material (Litalabo, S.P.P.S., Argenteuil, France) and paper as cage-enrichment (Enviro-dri, Wm. Lillico & Son (Wonham Mill Ltd), Surrey, United Kingdom)
- Acclimatization period was at least 5 days before start of treatment under laboratory conditions. During the acclimatization period the animals were group housed in Macrolon cages (MIV type)
- Diet: Free access to pelleted rodent diet (SM R/M-Z from SSNIFF® Spezialdiäten GmbH, Soest, Germany)
- Water: Free access to tap water

IN-LIFE DATES: From: 15 December 2009 To: 29 December 2009

Administration / exposure

Type of coverage:
occlusive
Vehicle:
unchanged (no vehicle)
Details on dermal exposure:
TEST SITE
- Area of exposure and % coverage: The test substance was applied in an area of approx. 10% of the total body surface, i.e. approx. 25 cm² for males and 18 cm² for females.
- Type of wrap if used: The test substance was held in contact with the skin with a dressing, consisting of a surgical gauze patch (Surgy 1D)*, successively covered with aluminum foil and Coban elastic bandage. A piece of Micropore tape was additionally used for fixation of the bandages in females only.

REMOVAL OF TEST SUBSTANCE
- Washing (if done): Yes
- Time after start of exposure: 24 hours (using tap water)

TEST MATERIAL
- Amount(s) applied (volume or weight with unit): 2000 mg/kg (4.47 mL/kg) body weight,
expressed as surfactant content and 2612 mg/kg, expressed as solid content
Dose volume calculated as: Dose level corrected for content (g/kg) / specific gravity (g/mL).
- Concentration (if solution): N/A; the aqueous solution is tested as such

VEHICLE
Not applicable, the aqueous solution is tested as such
Duration of exposure:
24 hours
Doses:
2000 mg/kg (expressed as surfactant content);
2612 mg/kg (expressed as solid content);
5236 mg/kg (expressed as test material, the aqueous solution)
No. of animals per sex per dose:
Single dosage, on Day 1: 5 males and 5 females (females were nulliparous and non-pregnant)
Control animals:
not required
Details on study design:
- Duration of observation period following administration: 14 days
- Frequency of observations and weighing:

Mortality/Viability: Twice daily. The time of death was recorded as precisely as possible.
Body weights: Days 1 (pre-administration), 8 and 15 and at death.
Clinical signs: At periodic intervals on the day of dosing (Day 1) and once daily thereafter, until Day 15. The time of onset, degree and duration were recorded and the symptoms graded according to fixed scales:
Maximum grade 4: grading slight (1) to very severe (4)
Maximum grade 3: grading slight (1) to severe (3)
Maximum grade 1: presence is scored (1).
Necropsy: The animals surviving to the end of the observation period were sacrificed by an oxygen/carbon dioxide procedure. All animals assigned to the study were subjected to necropsy and descriptions of all internal macroscopic abnormalities recorded.

Conclusions:
LD50 dermal ( rat): > 2612 mg/kg bw (expressed as solid content)
Executive summary:

An acute dermal toxicity study (limit test) was conducted with Alkylamidoamine glycinate maj. C12-14 (amphoacetate) (C8-C18 alkyl derivatives) in accordance with OECD 402 and according to GLP principles. A total of 10 rats (5 males and 5 females) were occlusive exposed to 4.47 mL/kg of an aqueous solution of the substance for 24 hours. The dose level was based on the surfactant content of the substance. One female was found dead on day 2. The majority of surviving animals showed chromodacryorrhoea, laboured respiration, rales, gasping, salivation, piloerection and hypothermia between days 1 and 2. No abnormalities were found at macroscopic post mortem examination of the surviving animals. Beginning autolysis was observed for the female that was found dead on day 2.

Based on the results of this study the substance does not need to be classified for acute dermal toxicity in accordance with the CLP Regulation as the acute dermal toxicity of the substance was determined to be above 2612 mg/kg.
