Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
other: not classified
Conclusions:
No clinical signs or mortality were observed. Thus, based on all the observations and results, it was concluded that the LD50 of the test chemical was observed to be >5000 mg/kg bw.
Executive summary:

An acute dermal toxicity study was performed to evaluate the toxic potential of the test chemical in rabbits.Nine rabbits received a single dermal application of neat test chemical at a dose of 5 g/kg. The rabbits were observed for mortality and/or systemic effects for 14 days. No clinical signs or mortality were observed. Thus, based on all the observations and results, it was concluded that the LD50 of the test chemical was observed to be >5000 mg/kg bw.
