Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
other: Not classified
Remarks:
Annex I of the CLP Regulation (1272/2008/EC)
Conclusions:
Based on the results in this study the testing material does not need to be classified for acute dermal toxicity in accordance with the criteria outlined in Annex I of the CLP Regulation (1272/2008/EC).
Executive summary:

10 Rabbits were treated by dermal exposure to Ethyl Amyl Ketone at a dose level of 5000 mg/kg bw. Mortality and clinical signs were recorded. Signs of skin irritation (redness and oedema) were noted in all animals. There were no signs of systemic toxicity, none of the animals died. Necropsy of the animals after termination of the study revealed Kidney white nodules in 1/10 animals, yellow intestines portions in 2/10 animals, white nodules in the liver in 1/10 and dark nodules in 2/10, and anogenital exudate in in 1/10 animal. The LD50 for acute toxicity dermal was determined to be >5000 mg/kg bw. Based on these results the testing material does not need to be classified for dermal toxicity in accordance with the criteria outlined in Annex I of the CLP Regulation (1272/2008/EC).
