Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
not classified
Remarks:
Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
Conclusions:
Based on the results of the study, the LD50 of methyl proxitol to rats (combined) was greater than 2000 mg/kg (the maximum dose applied)
Executive summary:

The acute dermal toxicity study was evaluated in a group of rats (5 male + 5 female) at the maximum applicable dose of 2000 mg/kg, no mortality and clinical signs were recorded and all rats gained weight during the 14 day observation period. Based on the results of the study, the LD50 of methyl proxitol to rats (combined) was greater than 2000 mg/kg (the maximum dose applied)
