- Details on dermal exposure:
- The back of the animals was shaved (approximately 10% area (and not less) of the total body surface) approximately 24 hours prior to treatment. The test item was applied as supplied as a single dose to the shaved skin and remained in contact with the skin for the 24 hour exposure period. Sufficient water was added to dampen the material to ensure good contact with the skin. Sterile gauze pads (approximately 5 x 5 cm) were placed on the skin of the rats to cover the test item. The gauze was kept in contact with the skin by a patch with adhesive hypoallergenic plaster. The entire trunk of the animal was wrapped with semi occlusive plastic wrap. At the end of the exposure period, residual test item was removed, using body temperature water.

- 24 hours
- Doses:
- A limit dose of 2000 mg/kg bw was chosen.
- No. of animals per sex per dose:
- 5 per sex per dose

- not required
- Sex:
- male/female
- Dose descriptor:
- LD50
- Effect level:
- > 2 000 mg/kg bw
- Based on:
- test mat.
- Mortality:
- Administration of the test item at a dose level of 2000 mg/kg body weight did not cause any mortality.
- Clinical signs:
- other: No clinical signs were observed after treatment with the test item or during the 14-day observation period. No local dermal signs were observed after treatment with the test item during the 14 day observation period.
- Gross pathology:
- There was no evidence of the macroscopic findings at a dose level of 2000 mg/kg bw.
- Interpretation of results:
- not classified
- Remarks:
- Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
- Conclusions:
- The acute dermal median lethal dose (LD50) of the test item RCX 14-672 was found to be higher than 2000 mg/kg bw in male and female rats.
- Executive summary:
The acute dermal median lethal dose (LD50) of the test item RCX 14-672 was found to be higher than 2000 mg/kg bw in male and female rats.

Additional information
Justification for classification or non-classification
Based on the results of the available studies, methyl-2-benzoylbenzoate does not need to be classified for acute toxicity, according to Regulation EC 1272/2008 and Directive 67/548/EEC.
