Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Interpretation of results:
- not classified
- Remarks:
- Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
- Conclusions:
- The acute dermal toxicity of hexyl acetate in the rabbit was found to be >5000 mg/kg bw under the conditions of this study.
- Executive summary:
Following dermal exposure to 5000 mg hexyl acetate/kg bw, one of ten rabbits exposed died on Day 1 of the observation period. The decedent developed signs of sluggishness prior to death. The acute dermal toxicity of hexyl acetate in the rabbit was therefore found to be >5000 mg/kg bw under the conditions of this study.
Information on Registered Substances comes from registration dossiers which have been assigned a registration number.
