Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Interpretation of results:
- other: No category (CLP Regulation EC no. 1272/2008)
- Conclusions:
- The LD50 of the test item is higher than 2000 mg/kg body weight by dermal route in rabbits.
- Executive summary:
In a dermal limit test (GLP study), one group of 10 New Zealand White rabbits (five males and five females) was exposed to the test substance at 2000 mg/kg for an exposure period of 24 h. Animals were observed for clinical signs and mortality once daily for fourteen days. No mortality and no clinical signs were observed in any animal receiving the test chemical. There were no apparent effects on mean body weight throughout the study. No visible lesions were observed in any animal at terminal necropsy. Based upon these observations, the estimated acute dermal LD50 (combined sexes) was determined to be greater than 2000 mg/kg.
