Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:

GHS criteria not met

Conclusions:

Under the test conditions of this study, the acute dermal median lethal dose to rats of Chlorhydrol ultrafine was found to be greater than 2000 mg/kg bw. Based on these results, the registered substance is not classified according to Regulation EC No.1272/2008 (CLP) and to the GHS.

Executive summary:

In an acute dermal toxicity study performed according to OECD Guideline 402 and in compliance with GLP, groups (5/sex/dose) of Sprague-Dawley rats were tested with a single dermal application of Chlorhydrol ultrafine at 2000 mg/kg bw for 24 hours. Animals were then observed for mortality, clinical signs for 14 days and were all sacrificed for macroscopic examination.

No mortality occurred. No clinical signs were observed. At necropsy, no abnormalities were noted.

The Single Dose Acute Dermal LD50 of Chlorhydrol ultrafine applied to the skin for 24 hours, is greater than 2000 mg/kg bw. Therefore the registered substance was not classified according to the Annex VI of the Regulation EC No.1272/2008 (CLP) and to the GHS.
