Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
practically nontoxic
Remarks:
Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
Conclusions:
LD50 > 2000 mg/kb bw
Executive summary:

The acute dermal toxicity of the test substance was investigated in male and female rats of the Sprague-Dawley strain. A single group of 5 male and 5 female rats was treated at a dose level of 2000 mg/kg bw. There were no deaths and no clinical signs were noted at any stage of the test. LD50 > 2000 mg/kg bw.

It is concluded that the test substance would not pose a hazard of percutaneous toxicity in normal use.
