Results and discussion

Effect levels
Key result
Sex:
male/female
Dose descriptor:
LD50
Effect level:
> 2 000 mg/kg bw
Based on:
test mat.
Mortality:
All rats survived the observation period.
Clinical signs:
No signs of toxicity were observed in the 5 male and 5 female rats after dermal treatment with 2000 mg/kg of the test item.
Body weight:
The body weight development was slightly decreased on day 2 of the experimental part. This finding is considered to be not treatment related, but due to the limited motility of the rats induced by the tape.
Gross pathology:
The gross pathological examination revealed no organ alterations.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Remarks:
LD50 > 2000 mg/kg
Conclusions:
Based on the result of this study, the test item is be considered to have no acute toxic potential and the expected LD50 value is higher than 2000 mg/kg after dermal administration to rats.
Executive summary:

This study was performed according to OECD 402 under GLP conditions. Based on the result of this study, the test item is be considered to have no acute toxic potential and the expected LD50 value is higher than 2000 mg/kg after dermal administration to rats.
