Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:

practically nontoxic

Remarks:

Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU

Conclusions:

The acute lethal dermal dose to rabbits of the test article was demonstrated to be greater than 2000 mg/kg bodyweight. The test article will not require labelling with the risk phrase R21 "Harmful in contact with skin," in accordance with Commission Directive 93/21/EEC.

Executive summary:

The acute dermal toxicity of the test article was tested in New Zealand White (5 female/5 male) rabbits. The rabbits received a single topical application of the test substance administered as supplied at a dosage of 2000 mg/kg bodyweight. All animals were sacrificed as scheduled at study termination (Day 15) and subjected to a macroscopic examination. There were no clinical signs of reaction to treatment, nor dermal response to treatment observed in any animal throughout the study. All animals were considered to have achieved satisfactory bodyweight gains throughout the study. No macroscopic abnormalities were observed for animals killed at study termination. The acute lethal dermal dose to rabbits of T-7499 was demonstrated to be greater than 2000 mg/kg bodyweight. The test article will not require labelling with the risk phrase R21 "Harmful in contact with skin," in accordance with Commission Directive 93/21/EEC.
