Administrative data

Endpoint:
acute toxicity: dermal
Type of information:
experimental study
Adequacy of study:
supporting study
Study period:
1966
Reliability:
3 (not reliable)
Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
other: Documentation insufficient for assessment (no information on test item purity and composition, no information on exposure duration, no details on animals and housing conditions), deviating from existing guidelines (only 3 animals/group)

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
Single application of 2 mL of test substance per kg bw onto the intact or abraded skin of rabbits did not cause lethality during the 14 days observation period, thus resulting in a LD50 > 2 mL/kg bw. This study was judged not to be reliable, because relevant information (e.g. test item purity, duration of exposure) are missing. Nevertheless, these data support the results obtained with other members of this category, which did not show acute dermal toxicity, too.
Executive summary:

6 Rabbits were subjected to test acute dermal toxicity. The test substance was administered on the skin

(3 animals had intact skin, 3 animals had abraded skin) at a dose of 2 mL/kg bw. No animal died within the observation period, resulting in a LD50 > 2 mL/kg bw.
