Details on dermal exposure:
TEST SITE
- Area of exposure: back of animals (approx. 6 x 6 cm)
- Type of wrap if used: The application site was covered by mull, plastic foil and held in contact by plaster (strapping)

REMOVAL OF TEST SUBSTANCE
- Washing (if done): The occlusive dressing and remains of the test substance were removed with water.
- Time after start of exposure: After 24 hours

TEST MATERIAL
- Amount(s) applied (volume or weight with unit): The amount of test substance for each animal was weighed out (according to its body weight and the dose) immediately before application.
The test substance in delivered form (moistened with the smallest amount of water) was applied on the depilated area of skin.
Duration of exposure:
24 hours
Doses:
2000 mg/kg bw
No. of animals per sex per dose:
5
Control animals:
not required
Details on study design:
- Duration of observation period following administration: 14 days
- Frequency of observations and weighing:
Weighing: Before application, 8th, and 15th day of study
Mortality: Daily
Clinical signs: Daily (First day: twice (30 minutes and 3 hours after application), second day: twice (in the morning and in the afternoon) and daily thereafter for 14 days).
Observations included changes in skin and fur, eyes, visible mucous membranes, nutritive condition, autonomic and central nervous systems, psychic activity, somatomotor activity, reactions to stimuli, function of respiratory, circulatory, digestive and urogenital system. Also presence of tremors, convulsions, salivation, diarrhea, lethargy, sleep and coma was carefully observed.
- Necropsy of survivors performed: yes. 15thday of study. Size, colour, shape, structure and consistency of organs were evaluated.

Results and discussion

Effect levels
Sex:
male/female
Dose descriptor:
LD50
Effect level:
> 2 000 mg/kg bw
Based on:
test mat.
Mortality:
No death of animals was observed during 14 days observation period.
Clinical signs:
No clinical signs of toxicity were observed during the study in all animals.
In all test animals the skin irritation symptoms (crusts) of the test area were observed in scheduled time intervals. During the 14-day observation period the lesion on the skin were almost healed. In all animals the crusts persisted to the end of period but in much lesser extent. It is possible to predict, that if the observation period lasted for further few days, the lesion would be fully healed. Changes on the skin were reversible.
Body weight:
Weight increments in all animals were in physiological range.
Gross pathology:
Macroscopic changes were diagnosed during pathological examination in all animals (skin: crusts, spleen: granular surface).

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
not classified
Remarks:
Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
Conclusions:
According to the study results the value of LD50 dermal of the test substance Chloramin B for rats of both sexes is higher than 2000 mg/kg bw.
Executive summary:

Chloramine B trihydrate was tested for dermal toxicity in a limit test with two groups of animals (5 males and 5 females) at the dose of 2000 mg/kg bw. The test substance was applied occclusively on the shaved skin of the test animals moistened witht a small amount of water for 24 hours. The test animals were observed 14 days after application, afterwards sacrificed and necropsy for macroscopic examination of the organs was performed. The test substance applied at the dose 2000 mg/kg bw did not cause death of animals. No clinical signs of toxicity were observed during the study in all animals, except for symptoms of skin irritation which were almost healed. Macroscopic changes were diagnosed during pathological examination in all animals (skin: crusts; spleen: granular surface). According to the study results the value of LD50 dermal of the test substance Chloramin B for rats of both sexes is higher than 2000 mg/kg bw.
