Viability / Mortality: Daily during the acclimatization period, within the first 30 minutes and at approximately 1, 2, 3 and 5 hours after administration on test day 1 (with the clinical signs) and twice daily during days 2-15.

Clinical Signs: Daily during the acclimatization period, within the first 30 minutes and at approximately 1, 2, 3 and 5 hours after administration on test day 1. Once daily during days 2-15.

Local Dermal Signs: Once daily during days 2 (following dressing removal) through day 15 using the numerical scoring system described in Appendix I.

Results and discussion

Effect levels
Sex:
male/female
Dose descriptor:
LD50
Effect level:
> 2 000 mg/kg bw
Based on:
test mat.
Remarks on result:
other: No statistical analysis was used.
Mortality:
No intercurrent deaths occurred during the course of the study.
Clinical signs:
No clinical signs were recorded in any of the animals throughout the complete observation
period.
Body weight:
The body weight of the animals was within the range commonly recorded for this strain and age.
Gross pathology:
No macroscopic findings were recorded at necropsy.
Other findings:
Local Dermal Signs
In all animals, the moderate blue staining prevented the assessment of a possible erythema on test day 2 and 3. When assessable, only slight erythema was noted in one animal between test day 7 and 10. Additionally scaling was observed in the same animal between test day 8 and 10.
No local dermal sighs were observed in the other animals.

Test item Coloration
Slight to marked blue staining produced by the test item was observed immediately after removal of the dressing in all animals and persisted on the treated skin area up to test day 8 in six animals, up to test day 12 in two animals and up to test day 15, the end of the observation period, in two animals.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
not classified
Remarks:
Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
Conclusions:
The median lethal dose of FAT 40849/A TE after single dermal administration to rats of both sexes, observed over a period of 14 days, is:
LD50 (rat): greater than 2000 mg/kg body weight
Based upon the classification criteria according to the Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 16 December 2008, FAT 40849/A TE does not have to be classified in respect to the acute dermal toxicity study in rats.
Executive summary:

Five male and five female RccHan:WIST (SPF) rats were treated with FAT 40849/A TE at 2000 mg/kg by dermal application. The test item was formulated in purified water at a concentration of 0.5 g/mL and administered at a volume dosage of 4 mL/kg. The application period was 24 hours.

The animals were examined daily during the acclimatization period and mortality, viability and clinical signs were recorded. All animals were examined for clinical signs within the first 30 minutes and at approximately 1, 2, 3 and 5 hours after treatment on day 1 and once daily during test days 2-15. Local signs were noted once daily from test day 2 to 15. Mortality/viability was recorded within the first 30 minutes and at approximately 1, 2, 3 and 5 hours after administration on test day 1 (with the clinical signs) and twice daily during days 2-15. Body weights were recorded on day 1 (prior to administration) and on days 8 and 15. All animals were necropsied and examined macroscopically.

No intercurrent deaths occurred during the course of the study.

No clinical signs were recorded in any of the animals throughout the complete observation period.

Slight to marked blue staining produced by the test item was observed immediately after removal of the dressing in all animals and persisted on the treated skin area up to test day 8 in six animals, up to test day 12 in two animals and up to test day 15, the end of the observation period, in two animals.

In all animals, the moderate blue staining prevented the assessment of a possible erythema on test day 2 and 3. When assessable, only slight erythema was noted in one animal between test day 7 and 10. Additionally scaling was observed in the same animal between test day 8 and 10. No local dermal sighs were observed in the other animals.

The body weight of the animals was within the range commonly recorded for this strain and age.

No macroscopic findings were observed at necropsy.

The median lethal dose of FAT 40849/A TE after single dermal administration to rats of both sexes, observed over a period of 14 days, is:

LD50 (rat): greater than 2000 mg/kg body weight

Based upon the classification criteria according to the Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 16 December 2008, FAT 40849/A TE does not have to be classified in respect to the acute dermal toxicity study in rats.
