Vehicle:
methylcellulose
Details on dermal exposure:
TEST SITE
- Area of exposure: dorso-lumbar region
- % coverage: 10
- Type of wrap if used: The treatment area (approximately 50 mm x 50 mm) was covered with porous gauze held in place with a non-irritating dressing, and further covered by a waterproof dressing encircled firmly around the trunk of the animal.

REMOVAL OF TEST SUBSTANCE
- Washing (if done): with warm water (30 - 40°C)
- Time after start of exposure: 24 hours

TEST MATERIAL
- Concentration (if solution): 2000 mg/kg bodyweight


VEHICLE
- Amount(s) applied (volume or weight with unit): 2.0 mL/kg bodyweight
- Concentration (if solution): 1%
Duration of exposure:
24 hours
Doses:
2000 mg/kg bodyweight
No. of animals per sex per dose:
5
Control animals:
no
Details on study design:
- Duration of observation period following administration: 14 days

- Frequency of observations: Animals were observed soon after dosing and at frequent intervals for the remainder of Day 1. On subsequent days, animals were observed once in the morning and again at the end of the experimental day (with the exception of Day 15 morning only).

- Other examinations performed: All animals were subject to a macroscopic examination which consisted of opening the cranial, thoracic and abdominal cavities.

Results and discussion

Effect levels
Key result
Sex:
male/female
Dose descriptor:
LD50
Effect level:
> 2 000 mg/kg bw
Based on:
test mat.
Mortality:
There were no deaths and no clinical signs were observed for any animal.
Clinical signs:
other: Very slight erythema was seen in one female (Animal No. F7) from Day 4 resolving by Day 15. No dermal reactions were seen in the remaining animals throughout the study
Gross pathology:
Macroscopic examination at study termination on Day 15 revealed pallor of the kidneys in four males (Nos. F1 – F4) and three females (Nos. F6 – F8). No abnormalities were revealed in any other animal at the macroscopic examination at this time.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
Category 5 based on GHS criteria
Conclusions:
The acute median lethal dermal dose (LD50) to rats of Terracess DSR was demonstrated to be greater than 2000 mg/kg bodyweight.

Terracess DSR is included in Category 5 or unclassified according to the Globally Harmonised System
