Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:

67/548/EEC: Acute oral toxicity: no classification warranted
1272/2008/EC: Acute oral toxicity: no classification warranted

The Test item (<90% Pigment Red 112) did not cause any mortality or significant clinical signs or necropsy findings after single dermal application to male rats at 5000 mg/kg bw in a OECD guideline compliant study. The LD50 (male rat) was greater than 5000 mg/kg body weight.
