Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
other: Not classified
Conclusions:
Acute dermal toxicity dose (LD50) value was considered to be >10000 mg/kg bw, when rabbits were treated with the given test chemical by dermal application.
Executive summary:

Acute dermal toxicity study was conducted by using the given test chemical in rabbits at the dose concentration of 10000 mg/kg bw.

Animals were observed for mortality. No mortality was observed at 10000 mg/kg bw in treated animals.

Hence, the LD50 value was considered to be >10000 mg/kg bw, when rabbits were treated with the given test chemical by dermal application.
