Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
The LD50 was higher than 2000 mg/kg.
Executive summary:

The study was performed on a group of ten rats (5 male and 5 female). The test material was administered undiluted at a dose of 2000 mg/kg by dermal application under occlusive conditions for a exposure period of 24 hours. The animals were observed for 14 days thereafter. There were no deaths during the study. No clinical signs were detected during the experimental observation period. Body weight gain was considered normal for the species and strain of rats used in this study. No macroscopic abnormalities were seen at necropsy. The LD50 was higher than 2000 mg/kg. The results of the study indicate that the test material, COSMACOL ECL can be considered practically non toxic.
