Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Interpretation of results:
- GHS criteria not met
- Conclusions:
- The LD50 of the test item Paraphenoxyphenol is higher than 2000 mg/ kg body weight by dermal route in the rat.
- Executive summary:
In accordance with the OECD guideline n° 402, the 4 -Paraphenoxyphenol was applied, as supplied, onto the intact skin of 3 female Sprague Dawley rats at the dose of 2000 mg/kg body weight.
No mortality occurred during the study. No systemic clinical sign related to the administration of the test item was observed. The body weight evolution of the animals remained normal throughout the study. The macroscopic examination of the animals at the end of the study did not reveal treatment-related changes.
In conclusion, the LD50 of the test item Paraphenoxyphenol is higher than 2000 mg/ kg body weight by dermal route in the rat. The test item Paraphenoxyphenol does not have to be classified in accordance with the Regulation 1272/2008 on classification, labelling and packaging of substances and mixtures.
