Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
Under the conditions of this study the LD50 of the acute dermal toxicity on male and female rats is above 2000 mg/kg of body weight for the test item in rats.
Executive summary:

The test item was applicated at the skin of the male and female rats in a dose of 2000 mg/kg body weight

to obtain information on the toxicity, in particular lethality, of the test item.

The test item was administrated dermal to 5 male and 5 female WISTAR rats.

No mortalities were observed at this dose. No signs of toxicity were observed. No erythema or edema  were observed from patch removal to end of study.

Body weight gain was not affected.

No macroscopic changes in organs, skin, or  subcutaneous tissue were found.

Hence the LD50 of the acute dermal toxicity on male and female rats is above 2000 mg/kg of body weight for the test item in rats.
