Results and discussion

Effect levels
Key result
Sex:
male/female
Dose descriptor:
LD50
Effect level:
> 2 000 mg/kg bw
Based on:
test mat.
Mortality:
No mortality occurred.
Clinical signs:
other: No systemic clinical signs were observed during clinical examination. Very slight erythema (grade 1) was noted in three male animals at day 1 and persisted in two of these animals until study day 3 or increased to well-defined erythema (grade 2) in the t
Gross pathology:
No macroscopic pathologic abnormalities were noted in the animals (5 males and 5 females) examined on the last day of observation.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
Based on the acute dermal median lethal dose (LD50) of > 2000 mg/kg bw, the substance does not meet the GHS criteria for classification for Acute Demal toxicity
