Dose descriptor:
LD50
Effect level:
> 10 mL/kg bw
Based on:
test mat.
Mortality:
No animals died (0/4).
Clinical signs:
other: Little skin irritation was observed but some desquamation was found after 14 days.

Any other information on results incl. tables

10 ml/kg is calculated to be 9500 mg/kg using the formula

ml/kg = mg/kg*density*1000, where density = 0.95

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
The acute dermal LD50 value of >10 ml/kg (>9500 mg/kg) for rabbits was reported in a reliable study conducted according to appropriate protocol. The study was not compliant with GLP.
