Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
not classified
Remarks:
Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
Conclusions:
The acute dermal LD50 for neodecanoic acid is greater than 3640 mg/kg.
Executive summary:

In this study male and female rats were exposed to 4 ml/kg (3640 mg/kg) neodecanoic acid via an occluded dermal patch for 24 hours. After 24 hours, the patch was removed and clinical observations were made once daily for 9 days. There were no deaths observed in this study and there were no signs of a toxicity response. It is concluded that the LD50 is greater than 3640 mg/kg.
