Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
NOAEL (dermal, sub-acute, rabbit) = 20 mL/kg bw/day
Executive summary:

The sub-chronic dermal toxicity of the substance was evaluated in an experimental study. Rabbits were exposed via the dermal route to 20 mL/kg bw/day of the test item for 30 days over a 6-week period.

No mortality or adverse signs of toxicity were recorded, therefore, the NOAEL was considered to be at least 20 mL/kg bw/day.
