Clinical signs: changes of skin and fur, eyes and mucous membranes, respiratory and circulatory function, autonomic and central nervous system and somatomotor activity and behaviour pattern, tremors, convulsions, salivation, diarrhoea, lethargy, sleep and coma. The skin was observed for the development of erythema and oedema and was rated according to OECD 404.
Body weight: Individual body weight, changes in weight.
Necropsy: All gross pathological changes were recorded. - Statistics:
- The LD50 was calculated according to FINNEY (Probit analysis).

Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Interpretation of results:
- other: Category 3 (CLP Regulation EC no. 1272/2008)
- Conclusions:
- The LD50 was determined to be 205 mg/kg b.w. by dermal route in rabbits.
- Executive summary:
An acute dermal toxicity study in rabbits was performed according to EU method B3 and OECD Guideline 402 (GLP study). 3 rabbits per sex and dose were exposed to dose levels of 50, 200 and 450 mg/kg b.w. The test item was applied once for 24 hours on the shaved intact dorsal skin of rabbits (approx. 15 cm x 15 cm, 1/10 of body surface). This treatment was followed by an observation period of 2 weeks. Under the test conditions, a single dermal administration of 450 mg/kg b.w. caused death in all 3 of 3 male and 3 of 3 female animals. All animals died prematurely within 24 hours after administration. A single dermal administration of 200 mg/kg b.w. caused death in all 3 of 3 male and 2 of 3 female animals. These animals died prematurely within 48 hours after administration. A single dermal administration of 50 mg/kg b.w. did not reveal any signs of toxicity. No mortality did occur. All surviving animals gained the expected body weight throughout the whole study period. No clinical signs non skin reactions were observed. No pathological findings were recorded. The LD50 of the test item was determined to be 150 mg/kg b.w. Based on these results the LD50 for the substance reaction mass of 2-tert-butyl-4,6-dimethylphenol and 4-tert-butyl-2,5-dimethylphenol was determined to be 205 mg/kg b.w. by dermal route in rabbits.
