Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
not classified
Remarks:
Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
Conclusions:
The acute dermal median lethal dose (LD50) of the test item exceeds 2000 mg/kg bw.
Executive summary:

The acute dermal toxicity study was carried out on the basis of OECD No. 402.

The test substance was dermally admnistered to five Wistar rats of each sex by a single application of 2000 mg/kg bw for 24 h. Animals were subjected to daily observations and weekly determinations of body weight. Macroscopic examination was performed after terminal sacrifice (day 15).

No mortality occurred. Chromodacryorrhoea was shown by two animals on day 1. Other clinical signs were not noted in any of the animals. The application site did not display any signs of irritation. The body weight gain during the observation period was within the the expected range. No abnormalities were found at macroscopic post mortem examination of the animals.

The acute dermal median lethal dose (LD50) of the test item exceeds 2000 mg/kg bw.
