Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
not classified
Remarks:
Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: other: EU Directive 67/548/EEC
Conclusions:
The dermal LD50 values for male and female rabbits were above 2000 mg/kg b.w.
Executive summary:

Isophorone nitrile was tested for acute toxicity after single dermal application to rabbits at a dose of 2000 mg/kg b.w..

The solid test substance was moistened with water and placed on the shorn dorsal skin of 5 male and 5 female animals under occlusive conditions for 24 hours. The dermal exposure produced neither signs of toxicity nor deaths. Therefore the dermal LD50 values for male and female rabbits were above 2000 mg/kg b.w.
