Any other information on results incl. tables

No animal died in the course of the study. No clinical findings were observed after single dermal administration of 2000 mg/kg. In the first week after treatment, a decrease in body weight gain or a body weight loss was observed in both sexes, which was not fully compensated until day 14. Autopsy revealed no compound-related findings.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Executive summary:

The dermal administration of 2000 mg/kg caused a decrease in body weight in both, male and female rats, but no other signs of toxicity. According to OECD TG 402 taking into consideration the approach described in OECD guideline no. 423 the dermal LD50 is therefore > 2000 mg/kg body weight.
