Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:

other: not classified as harmful/toxic according to the CLP Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008

Conclusions:

LD50 > 2000 mg/kg bw

Executive summary:

The acute dermal toxicity of the test material was evaluated according to the OECD Guideline 402 and EU Method B.3. Five male and five female rats were exposed to 2000 mg/kg bw of the substance (at the back) for 24 hours in a semiocclusive coverage. After the exposure period the substance was removed and the animals were observed for 14 days for mortality, signs and symptoms. The survived animals were submitted to a gross necropsy at the end of the observation period. Body weight measurements were done immediately before application and on days 7 and 14.

No mortality nor gross pathological changes were noted. Piloerection was seen, being common symptoms in acute dermal tests; the animals recovered within 2 days. Body weight gain was observed.
