Test animals

Species:
rat
Strain:
Crj: CD(SD)
Sex:
male/female
Details on test animals or test system and environmental conditions:
TEST ANIMALS
- Age at study initiation: eight to twelve weeks of age
- Weight at study initiation: males: 222 - 249 g; females: 200 - 223 g
- Housing: animals were housed in suspended solid-floor polypropylene cages furnished with woodflakes. The animals were housed individually during the 24-hour exposure period and in groups of five, by sex, for the remainder of the study.
- Diet (ad libitum): 2014 Teklad Global Rodent diet supplied by Harlan Teklad, Blackthorn, Bicester, Oxon, UK
- Water (ad libitum): mains drinking water
- Acclimation period: at least five days

ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS
- Temperature: 19 to 25 °C
- Relative humidity: 30 to 70 %
- Air exchanges: at least fifteen changes per hour
- Photoperiod (hrs dark / hrs light): 12/12

Administration / exposure

Type of coverage:
semiocclusive
Vehicle:
unchanged (no vehicle)
Details on dermal exposure:
TEST SITE
- Area of exposure and type of wrap used: back and flanks of each animal were clipped free of hair.
- % coverage: approximately 10 % of the total body surface area
- Type of wrap if used: piece of surgical gauze was placed over the treatment area and semi-occluded with a piece of self-adhesive bandage.

REMOVAL OF TEST SUBSTANCE
- Washing: treated skin and surrounding hair wiped with cotton wool moistened with distilled water to remove any residual test material.
- Time after start of exposure: after the 24-hour contact period

TEST MATERIAL
- Amount(s) applied (volume or weight with unit): dose volume: 2.27 mL/kg; the specific gravity was determined and used to calculate the appropriate dose volume for the required dose level.
Duration of exposure:
24 hours
Doses:
2000 mg/kg
No. of animals per sex per dose:
5 males / 5 females
Control animals:
no
Details on study design:
- Duration of observation period following administration: 14 days
- Frequency of observations and weighing: animals were observed for deaths or overt signs of toxicity 0.5, 1, 2 and 4 hours after dosing and subsequently once daily for fourteen days. After removal of the dressings and subsequently once daily for fourteen days, the test sites were examined for evidence of irritation and scored according to the Draize scale. Any other skin reactions were also recorded. Individual bodyweights were recorded prior to application of the test material on Day 0 and on Days 7 and 14.
- Necropsy of survivors performed: yes
Statistics:
not applicable

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
The acute dermal median lethal dose (LD50) of the test material in the Sprague-Dawley CD strain rat was found to be greater than 2000 mg/kg bodyweight.
According to the EC-Regulation 1272/2008 and subsequent regulations, the test item is not classified as acute toxic via the dermal route.
