Results and discussion

Effect levels
Sex:
male/female
Dose descriptor:
LD50
Effect level:
> 2 000 mg/kg bw
Mortality:
No mortality occurred.
Clinical signs:
other: Flat posture and chromodacryorrhoea were noted among the animals on Days 1 and/or 2. Piloerection was noted in all animals between Days 1 and 4. Scales and scabs were seen in the treated skin-area among the animals throughout the observation period.
Gross pathology:
No abnormalities were found at macroscopic post mortem examination of the animals.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
not classified
Remarks:
Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
Conclusions:
The dermal LD50 value of TC4ASO2 in Wistar rats was established to exceed 2000 mg/kg body weight.

Based on these results TC4ASO2 does not have to be classified and has no obligatory labeling requirement for dermal toxicity according to the Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labeling of Chemicals (GHS) of the United Nations (2007) and EC criteria for classification and labeling requirements for dangerous substance and preparations (Council Directive 67/548/EEC).
