Results and discussion

Effect levels

Sex:

male/female

Dose descriptor:

LD0

Effect level:

>= 2 000 mg/kg bw

Mortality:

Male: no mortalities
Female: no mortalities

Clinical signs:

other: There were no signs of systemic toxicity during the study period.

Gross pathology:

No abnormalities were noted at necropsy.

Other findings:

Dermal reactions (local):
-There were no signs of dermal irritation in males.
-Crust formation was noted at the treatment sites of 3 females 4 and 5 days after treatment. Hardened light brown-coloured scabs, which precluded evaluation of erythema and oedema, were noted in the 2 remaining females 4 to 14 days after dosing.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:

not classified

Remarks:

Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU

Conclusions:

No mortalities were noted in rats treated by dermal route with a single dose of 2000 mg/kg bodyweight.
Therefore, the substance is not classified according to Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008 and its subsequent amendments on classification, labeling and packaging (CLP) of substances and mixtures.

Executive summary:

The dermal toxicity of the substance was tested in rats according to OECD 402 and EU B.3 guidelines. The test item was applied to the back of 5 male and 5 female Spragues-Dawley rats at a concentration of 2000 mg/kg bw. It was covered in gauze and allowed to be in contact with the skin for 24 hours. The animals were observed for 14 days and mortality, body weight, and clinical observations were recorded.

No mortality was observed during the study period. Animals showed expected gains in bodyweight over the study period. Following necropsy and macroscopic examination of internal organs, no abnormalities were detected.

There were no signs of dermal irritation in males. Skin reaction noted at the treatment sites of females included crust formation and hardened light brown-coloured scabs, which precluded evaluation of erythema and oedema.

The dermal LD0 in the study was equal or higher than 2000 mg/kg bw.
