Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
Category 3 based on GHS criteria
Conclusions:
The study on acute dermal toxicity of bis(2-ethylhexyl)amine in rabbits resulted in a LD50 value of 956 mg/kg bw. No further information given. A classification according to the CLP Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008 (EU-GHS: Cat. 3) is required.
Executive summary:

A dermal LD50 value of 1.19 mL/kg, equivalent to 956 mg/kg bw, was reported for rabbits, with no further details, because data were only available as secondary quotation cited in RTECS updates 9504 and 199709 (Union Carbide 1968; reliability score 4).
