Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Interpretation of results:
- not classified
- Remarks:
- Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
- Conclusions:
- Under the conditions of the study, the median lethal dermal dosage (LD50) for 2 (2 naphthoxy)ethanol in Sprague-Dawley rats was estimated to be greater than 2000 mg/kg.
This study is considered to be relevant, reliable and adequate for risk assessment and for classification purposes. - Executive summary:
The objective of this study was to assess the adverse effects which can follow within a short period of time after a single dermal administration of 2-(2-naphthoxy)ethanol to rats.
The test item was administered to a single group of 5 male and 5 female Sprague-Dawley rats. The study design was as follows:

The test item was administered, as supplied, onto the moistened dorsal trunk under a gauze patch, also moistened, which was covered with semi-occlusive tape, then secured with occlusive tape (ie the site was fully occluded). The dressings remained in place for 24 h. The dose was calculated on the basis of the body weights of the animals on the day of dosing. Animals were observed for signs of reaction to treatment 5 times on the day of dosing and once daily from Day 2 until the end of the observation period on Day 15. Body weights were recorded weekly and all animals were subjected to a necropsy examination.
The following parameters and end points were evaluated in this study: clinical signs, body weights, body weight changes, and gross necropsy findings.
There were no unscheduled deaths during the observation period.
There were no systemic signs of toxicity noted in any animal at any observation timepoint and local findings at the dosing site were restricted to staining or test item residues at the test site, which were seen in 6 animals on Day 2 only.
Body weight gain was considered to be acceptable for rats of this age and strain. No abnormal findings were noted at necropsy.
Under the conditions of the study, the median lethal dermal dosage (LD50) for 2-(2-naphthoxy)ethanol in Sprague-Dawley rats was estimated to be greater than 2000 mg/kg.
