Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Interpretation of results:
- other: Not classified
- Conclusions:
- The acute dermal median lethal dose (LD50) was considered to be >5000 mg/kg of body weight, when rabbits were treated with the given test chemical by dermal route.
- Executive summary:
The acute dermal toxicity study was conducted by using the given test chemical in rabbits at the dose concentration of 5000 mg/kg bw. Animals were observed for mortality. No mortality was observed at 5000 mg/kg bw. Hence, the acute dermal median lethal dose (LD50) was considered to be >5000 mg/kg of body weight, when rabbits were treated with the given test chemical by dermal route.
