Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
not classified
Remarks:
Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
Conclusions:
The acute dermal LD50 for E000144700 is greater than 2000 mg/kg.
Executive summary:

The acute dermal toxicity of E000144700 (CAS 68516-20-1) was assessed in a group of 5 male and 5 female albino rabbits. The test substance was applied at 2000 mg/kg under an occlusive dressing for 24 hours. None of the animals died and there were no significant signs of systemic toxicity.

The acute dermal LD50 for E000144700 (CAS 68516-20-1) is greater than 2000 mg/kg and no classification is warranted under GHS/CLP.
