Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
The test item was not toxic to male and female Sprague-Dawley rats after dermal application, resulting in a dermal LD50 > 3000 mg/kg bw (corresponding to > 1710 mg PY13/kg bw).
The test was performed with the test item which contains relevant amounts of the submission substance. Therefore, the test results are considered adequate to fulfil the endpoint requirements.
Executive summary:

Acute dermal toxicity of the test item was tested in male and female Sprague-Dawley rats. The maximal applicable dose (3 g test item /kg bw suspended in polyethylene glycol:water 50:50 - final volume 9.9 ml; corresponding to 1710 mg PY13/kg bw) were applied to the skin. No clinical signs were observed and no animals died during the 7 day observation period, resulting in a LD50 > 3000 mg/kg bw (corresponding to > 1710 mg PY13/kg bw).

Classification for acute dermal toxicity is not necessary according to Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008.
