Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
The above given information is not suffictient for a decission on classification. No precise LD50 value is reported. However, it appears likely, the benzaldehyde is rather of low acute dermal toxicity. Since the test substance is not legally classified for acute dermal toxicity, no self-classification is warranted according to Regulation (EU) 1272/2008 and EU Directive 67/548/EEC, respectively.
