Results and discussion

Effect levels
Sex:
male/female
Dose descriptor:
LD50
Effect level:
> 2 000 mg/kg bw
Mortality:
No mortality occurred.
Clinical signs:
other: Flat posture, chromodacryorrhoea, and/or ptosis were noted in the majority of animals, which had completely recovered from these symptoms by between Days 2 and 3. Brown staining of the treated skin-area of all animals was observed during the observation p

No abnormalities were found at macroscopic post mortem examination of the animals.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
not classified
Remarks:
Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
Conclusions:
The dermal LD50 value of Terate® 091 Residue in Wistar rats was established to exceed 2000 mg/kg body weight.
Based on these results, Terate® 091 Residue does not have to be classified and has no obligatory labeling requirement for acute dermal toxicity according to the:
-Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008 on classification, labeling and packaging of substances and mixtures,
-EC criteria for classification and labeling of dangerous substances and preparations (Council Directive 67/548/EEC and all adaptations to technical progress and amendments of this Directive published in the Official Journal of the European Union),
-Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labeling of Chemicals (GHS) of the United Nations (2007).
Executive summary:

Acute dermal toxicity of the test substance was determined in a guideline study (OECD TG 402) in rats. The dermal LD50 value exceeded 2000 mg/kg body weight.
