Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Executive summary:

In this acute dermal toxicological study Mesamoll was applied once to the shaved skin of the back of male and female Wistar rats

(160 -180 g). The observation time was 7 days and during this timeperiod the test substance was not removed from the animals. No mortalities and no symptoms of toxicity could be observed. Therefore, regarding the density of Mesamoll ( 1.055 g/cm³ at 20 °C),

the LD 50 was higher than 1055 mg/kg bw.
