Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:

Remarks:
Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
Conclusions:
The dermal LD50 value of DC 5067 in rats of either sex was established as exceeding 2000 mg/kg body weight.
Executive summary:

This study was entitled "Assessment of acute dermal toxicity with DC 5067 in the rat". The purpose of this study was to assess the toxicity of the test article when administered to rats as a single dermal dose. The study was carried out in accordance with OECD Guideline No. 402, "Acute Dermal Toxicity" and EEC Directive 84/449/EEC, Part 8.3, "Acute Toxicity - Dermal".

DC 5067 was administered by dermal application, to five rats of each sex, at 2000 mg/kg body weight. Macroscopic examination was performed at the end of the experimental period.

No clinical signs of ill health or behavioural changes were seen during the study. All animals showed body weight gain over the study period. No skin abnormalities were observed on the treated area during the study period. Macroscopic post mortem examination of the surviving animals at termination did not reveal any abnormalities, that were not commonly noted among rats of this age and strain.

The dermal LD50 value of DC 5067 in rats of either sex was established as exceeding 2000 mg/kg body weight.

According to the EEC criteria for classification and labelling requirements for dangerous substances'(EEC Directive 83/467/EEC, Annex VI of the EEC Directive
