Results and discussion

Effect levels

Sex:

male/female

Dose descriptor:

LD50

Effect level:

> 2 000 mg/kg bw

Based on:

test mat.

Mortality:

All of the rabbits at each of the dosage levels tested survived the study period.

Clinical signs:

other: Twenty-four hours after application, erythema (very slight to moderate) and edema (slight to moderate) was observed at the site of application in each animal tested. Desquamation was noted during the 14 day observation period. Slight erythema remained in

Not applicable

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:

study cannot be used for classification

Conclusions:

None of the animals died at 2000 mg/kg bw, there were only 2 animals in each group. The study is not suitable for C&L purposes.

Executive summary:
