- Treatment area preparation: on the day before dosing

Duration of exposure:

24 hours

Doses:

2000 mg/kg bw

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:

not classified

Remarks:

Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU

Conclusions:

The acute toxicity of 1,2-benzenedicarboxylic acid, diundecyl alkyl ester was investigated following dermal administration of a single dose to the rat at 2000 mg/kg. No mortality occurred following dosing and no signs of toxicity were observed.
These results indicate that the test item, 1,2-benzenedicarboxylic acid, diundecyl alkyl ester, has no toxic effect on the rat following dermal exposure over a 24 hour period at a level of 2000 mg/kg. The lack of mortality demonstrates the LD50 to be greater than 2000 mg/kg.European Directives concerning the classification, packaging and labelling of dangerous substances and mixtures (Regulation (EC) no. 1907/2006, 1272/2008 and subsequent revisions) would indicate the following:

Classification : Not required
Signal word : None indicated
Hazard statement : None indicated

Executive summary:

Acute dermal has been investigated following administration of a single dose to the rat at a level of 2000 mg/kg. No mortaility occurred, demonstrating the LD50 to be greater than 2000 mg/kg.
