Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Interpretation of results:
- GHS criteria not met
- Conclusions:
- Eight male and 8 female New Zealand White rabbits were used for this study. The rabbits were divided into 4 groups of 2 male and 2 female rabbits each. The test material was applied once only to the backs of the rabbits at the following dosage levels: 2.5, 5, 10 and 20 g/kg.
Based upon the data obtained, the acute dermal LD50 values and 95% confidence limits (CL) were estimated to be as follows:
male rabbits: 20 g/kg bw with 95%CL of 10 - 40 g/kg bw
female rabbits: 14.14 g/kg bw with 95%CL of 7.07 - 28.28 g/kg bw
Combined male and female rabbits: 16.82 g/kg with 95%CL of 11.89 - 23.78 g/kg - Executive summary:
