Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
not classified
Remarks:
Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
Conclusions:
In an acute dermal toxicity test using only one dose (4500 mg/kg bw, limit test), 5 rats/sex were exposed to KMC 113/1 (diisopropylnaphthalene) for 24 hours. No mortality and no clinical or gross pathological findings were observed. The LD50 for acute dermal toxicity can be assessed to be >4500 mg/kg bw under the conditions of this test.
