Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
not classified
Remarks:
Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
Conclusions:
With a LD50 at 4700 mg/kg, o-trifluoromethylaniline is not classified according to the CLP 1272/2008/EC criteria.
Executive summary:

In an acute dermal toxicity study (IFREB n°8 03 103), groups of Sprague-Dawley rats (male/female) were dermally exposed to o-trifluoromethylaniline for 24 hours to a dorsal area of 6*6 cm, at doses of 2220, 3330, 5000 and 7500 mg/kg bw. Animals then were observed for 15 days.

Dermal LD50 Combined = 4700 mg/kg bw.

Based on the LD50 in males and females, o-trifluoromethylaniline is not classified for toxicity by dermal exposition according to the CLP 1272/2008/EC criteria.
