Any other information on results incl. tables

No animal died in the course of the study. A single dermal application of the limit dose was tolerated without compound-related findings. The body weight gain on days 7 and 14 was within the normal range for rats of this age and strain. On day 14 all surviving animals were sacrificed without showing any compound-related clinical findings. Autopsy also revealed no compound-related findings.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
the test item is of low acute dermal toxicity
Executive summary:

A single dermal administration of the test substance (ZK 5560) to male and female rats at the limit-dose (2000 mg/kg) was tolerated without mortalities and moreover, without compound-related findings. The body weight gain on days 7 and 14 was within the normal range for rats of this age and strain. On day 14 all surviving animals were sacrificed without showing any compound-related clinical findings. Autopsy also revealed no compound-related findings. The acute dermal toxicity of the substance in rats is therefore above 2000 mg/kg body weight.
