Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
study cannot be used for classification
Remarks:
Based on these data it is not possible to give a reliable interpretation of the dermal toxicity of test substance. According to the CLP-regulation the highest value for classification is a LD50 of 2000 mg/kg bw.
Conclusions:
The test substance caused acute lethal poisoning by percutaneous absorption at applications of 3000 mg/kg body weight and higher.
