Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
The acute dermal LD50 of the test item was > 5000 mg/kg bw.
Executive summary:

In the current study a group of 2 - 10 rabbits were dermally administered a single dose of the test material. No OECD guideline was followed and the study was not GLP.

After the treatment the animals were observed for mortality and clinical signs during 14 days. Furthermore, necrospy was conducted.

The acute dermal LD50 of the test item in rabbits was reported to be > 5000 mg/kg bw, based on 0/10 deaths at that dose.
