Details on dermal exposure:
TEST SITE
Approximately 24 hours before treatment, the backs of the animals were shaved with an electric clipper, exposing an area of approximately 10 % of the total
body surface.

TEST MATERIAL
- Amount(s) applied (volume or weight with unit): 4 mL at 2000 mg/kg

VEHICLE
- Concentration (if solution): 4%
Duration of exposure:
24h
Doses:
2000 mg/kg
No. of animals per sex per dose:
5
Control animals:
no
Details on study design:
- Duration of observation period following administration: 15 days
- Frequency of observations and weighing: Body weight: Test days 1 (pre-administration), 8 and 15; Mortality/Viability: Four times during test day 1, and
daily during days 2 - 1 5.
- Necropsy of survivors performed: yes
- Other examinations performed: clinical signs, body weight,organ weights, histopathology
Statistics:
The LOGIT-Model could not be applied to the observed rate of death. The toxicity was estimated without use of a statistical model.

Interpretation of results:
not classified
Remarks:
Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
Conclusions:
The LD50 of sodium 3(2H-benzotriazol-2-yl)-5-sec-butyl-4-hydroxybenzenesulfonate was greater than 2000 mg/kg.
Executive summary:

The test article sodium 3(2H-benzotriazol-2-yl)-5-sec-butyl-4-hydroxybenzenesulfonate was applied to the skin of rats of both sexes by oral gavage for 24 hours at a dose of 2000 mg/kg according to OECD giudeline 402.

The following death rate was observed: 0 % at 2000 mg/kg.

Therefore, the LD50 of test item was estimated to be : greater than 2000 mg/kg.
