Any other information on results incl. tables

 The present data on acute dermal toxicity do not fulfill the criteria laid down in 67/548/EEC and regulation (EU) 1272/2008, and therefore, a non-classification is warranted.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
other: not classified
Remarks:
based on CLP criteria
Conclusions:
Under the conditions of the test, the dermal LD50 was > 5000 mg/kg bw. Therefore, the substance does not need to be classified for acute toxicity in accordance with the criteria outlined in Annex I of the CLP Regulation (1272/2008/EC).
Executive summary:

An acute dermal toxicity study was performed. Duration of observation period following administration: 14 days, mortality and clinical signs were examined.

Under the conditions of the test, the dermal LD50 was > 5000 mg/kg bw. Therefore, the criteria laid down in Annex I of the CLP Regulation (1272/2008/EC) are not fullfilled and the substance does not need to be classified for acute toxicity.
