Reliability:
2 (reliable with restrictions)
Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
other: see 'Remark'
Remarks:
Pre-guideline and pre-GLP study. Only basic data given. However, the result was non-toxic at the dose level of 5000 mg/kg bw, which is 2.5 times more than the limit dose of the OECD 402. A repeat study is unlikely to show worse effects, therefore this study was considered sufficiently robust to cover this endpoint.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
not classified
Remarks:
Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
Conclusions:
LD50 > 5000 mg/kg bw
Executive summary:

In a limit acute dermal toxicity study, 10 rabbits were exposed to the test material at dose of 5000 mg/kg bw. The animals were observed for mortality, clinical signs including dermal reactions for 14 days.

 

No mortality occurred during the study.

Skin irritation was observed in the animals: 5/10 had slight redness, 3/10 moderate redness, 1/10 slight erythema, 1/10 moderate erythema.

 

Dermal LD50> 5000 mg/kg bw

 

Under the test conditions, the test material is not classified according to the annex VI of the Regulation EC No. 1272/2008 (CLP) and of the Directive 67/548/EEC.

Even if only few details were available on method used in this study, the result was "non-toxic at 5000 mg/kg bw" which is 2.5 times more than is needed for the OECD 402. A repeat study is unlikely to show worse effects, therefore this study was considered sufficiently robust to cover the acute dermal toxicity endpoint.
