Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
Nontoxic according to EU criteria
Executive summary:

Two rabbits each were administered Dechlorane Plus once dermally on intact or abraded skin at dose levels of 500, 1,000, 2,000, 4,000, or 8,000 mg/kg bw for an unspecified period of time. No mortality was observed. The NOEL was determined at 8,000 mg/kg bw. Dechlorane Plus was not toxic upon dermal application.
