Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
other: Not classified
Remarks:
Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
Conclusions:
The acute dermal LD50 of the test material Resin acids and rosin acids, hydrogenated methyl ester is >2000 mg/kg/bw.
Executive summary:

In an acute dermal toxity study, a single treatment of 2000 mg/kg/bw of Resin acid and rosin acid, hydrogenated methyl ester was applied to clipped skin on the dorsal trunk of 10 Sprague Dawley rats (5 male and 5 female) for 24 hrs under semi-occlusion. Under the conditions of the study, no mortality occurred and no dermal reactions or systemic clinical signs observed. Body weight gain was normal. A gross pathogical examination showed no treatment- related changes. In conclusion, the acute dermal LD50 of Resin acids and rosin acids, hydrogenated methyl ester was >2000 mg/kg/bw.
