Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
other: Not classified
Remarks:
Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
Conclusions:
The dermal LD50 of E000044146 is greater than 2000 mg/Kg.
Executive summary:

The acute dermal toxicity of E000044146 (CAS 68487-10-4) was investigated in groups of 5 male and 5 female rats. A single 24 hour application of 2000 mg/Kg in maize oil (20% w/v at 10 mL/Kg) was applied under an occlusive dressing.

There were no mortalities or significant signs of systemic toxicity and it can be concluded that the LD50 of E000044146 (CAS 68487-10-4) is > 2000 mg/Kg and no classification is warranted under GHS/CLP.
