Applicant's summary and conclusion

Executive summary:

An acute dermal toxicity study was performed according to OECD TG 402. 2000 mg/kg of the test item was applied semiocclusive on 5 male and 5 female rats for 24 hours. No mortalities, no clinical signs, no effects on weight development and no gross pathological findings were observed during the 14 -days observation period. The resulting LD50 was therefore > 2000 mg/kg bw for both sexes combined.
