Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
not classified
Remarks:
Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
Conclusions:
No deaths or other signs of systemic toxicity were seen in groups of rats given a single dermal application of 2.5 ml/kg bw (about 2.8 g/kg bw) of a C10-13 chlorinated paraffin (52% chlorination) under an occlusive dressing for 24 h. The dermal LD50 is therefore considered to be greater than 2.5 ml/kg bw (2.8 g/kg bw).
Executive summary:

According to an expert review on SCCPs (EU, 2000), a C10-13 chlorinated paraffin (52% chlorination) was tested for acute dermal toxicity at 2.5 ml/kg bw (about 2.8 g/kg bw) in an well-conducted study. When applied undiluted, under an occlusive dressing, to groups of 3 rats for 24 h, local signs of irritation (slight erythema and slight slight desquamation) were seen at the application site at 3 and 7 days post-application. No deaths or other signs of systemic toxicity were reported in the treated rats. The acute dermal LD50 of this C10-13 chlorinated paraffin is greater than 2.5 ml/kg bw (about 2.8 g/kg bw) and therefore the test material would not be classified for acute dermal toxicity under EU CLP or DSD regulations.
