Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
The acute dermal median lethal dose (LD50) of the test material in the Sprague-Dawley CD strain rat was found to be greater than 2000 mg/kg bodyweight.
Executive summary:

Assessment of acute dermal toxicity with Tetrabenzyl pyrophosphate in the rat was realised according to the OECD 402 guideline and under GLP conditions.

Tetrabenzyl pyrophosphate was administered to 5 males and 5 females Sprague Dawley rats at 2000 mg/kg body weight.

Animals were subjected to daily observations and weekly determination of body weight. Macroscopic examination was performed after terminal sacrifice.

At 2000 mg/kg, no mortality occurred and no signs of dermal irritation were observed.
