- TEST ITEM FORMULATION AND EXPERIMENTAL PREPARATION
- For the purpose of the study the test item was weighed out according to each animal’s individual body weight and moistened with dimethyl sulphoxide prior to application.
TEST SITE
- Area of exposure: Back and flank area
- % coverage: The appropriate amount of test item, moistened with dimethyl sulphoxide, was applied as evenly as possible to an area of shorn skin (approximately 10% of the total body surface area).
- Type of wrap if used: A 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 (if done): After the 24 h contact period, the bandage was carefully removed and the treated skin and surrounding hair wiped with cotton wool moistened with dimethyl sulphoxide followed by distilled water to remove any residual test item. The animals were returned to group housing for the remainder of the study period.
- Time after start of exposure: 24 h

- Details on study design:
- - Duration of observation period following administration: 14 days
- Frequency of observations and weighing: Animals were observed for mortality or clinical signs of toxicity at 0.5, 1, 2 and 4 h after dosing and subsequently once daily for 14 days. Individual bodyweights were recorded prior to application of the test material on Day 0 and on Days 7 and 14.
- After removal of the dressings and subsequently once daily for fourteen days, the test sites were examined for evidence of primary irritation and scored according to the Draize scale.

- Conclusions:
- Dermal LD50 Combined > 2000 mg/kg bw. Under the test conditions, the test material is not classified according to the annex VI of the Regulation EC No. 1272/2008 (CLP) and of the Directive 67/548/EEC.
- Executive summary:
In an acute dermal toxicity study (limit test) performed according to OECD Guideline No. 402 and in compliance with GLP, a group of Wistar (RccHanTM:WIST) rats (5/sex) was given a single dermal application of the undiluted test material to intact skin of the back and flank area at a dose level of 2000 mg/kg bw. Test sites were covered with a semi-occlusive dressing for 24 h. Animals were observed for mortality, clinical signs and bodyweights for 14 days and at the end of the study the surviving animals were sacrificed for macroscopic examination. Skin irritation was assessed and scored according to the Draize scale at 24 h after removal of the dressings and then daily for 14 days.
No mortality or systemic toxicity was observed. Very slight erythema (score 1) and hemorrhage of dermal capillaries were noted at the test sites of two males on Day 1; one male continued to show very slight erythema (score 1) on Day 2. Very slight erythema (score 1) was noted at the test site of one female on Day 5 and crust formation was noted at the test sites of three females on Day 5. Crust formation persisted at the treatment site of two females from Days 6 to 8. Small superficial scattered scabs and glossy skin were noted at the test sites of two females from Days 5 to 8. All animals showed gains in body weight over the observation period. No abnormalities were noted at necropsy.
Dermal LD50 Combined > 2000 mg/kg bw
Under the test conditions, the test material is not classified according to the annex VI of the Regulation EC No. 1272/2008 (CLP) and of the Directive 67/548/EEC.
This study is considered as acceptable and satisfies the requirement for acute dermal toxicity endpoint.
