Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
The LD50 of the test item Magnesium oxalate is higher than 2000 mg/ kg body weight by dermal route in the rat.
The test item Magnesium oxalate does not have to be classified in accordance with the Regulation EC No. 1272/2008 on classification, labelling and packaging of substances and mixtures.
No signal word or hazard statement is required.
Executive summary:

The test item Magnesium oxalate was applied, as supplied, onto the intact skin of 3 female Sprague Dawley rats at the single dose of 2000 mg/ kg body weight. The experimental protocol was established on the basis of the method as defined in the O.E.C.D. Test Guideline No. 402 dated October 9th, 2017.

No mortality occurred during the study. No systemic clinical sign related to the administration of the test item was observed. The body weight evolution of the animals remained normal throughout the study. The macroscopic examination of the animals at the end of the study did not reveal treatment-related changes.

In conclusion, the LD50 of the test item Magnesium oxalate is higher than 2000 mg/ kg body weight by dermal route in the rat. The test item Magnesium oxalate does not have to be classified in accordance with the Regulation EC No. 1272/2008 on classification, labelling and packaging of substances and mixtures. No signal word or hazard statement is required.
