Results and discussion

Effect levels
Key result
Sex:
male/female
Dose descriptor:
LD50
Effect level:
> 4 500 mg/kg bw

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
other: CLP/EU GHS criteria not met, no classification required according to Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008
Conclusions:
In an acute dermal toxicity test (limit test), 5 rats/sex were exposed to the test substance for 24 h. The LD50 for acute dermal toxicity was determined to be > 4500 mg/kg bw.
