Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
not classified
Remarks:
Migrated information The criteria for classification as Acute Toxicity Category 4 is ≤ 5.0 mg/L. Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
Conclusions:
N-Dodecenyl succinic anhydride (nDDSA), as an aerosol, was tested in a four hour acute inhalation toxicity assay in rats. The LD50 was > 5.3 mg/L. This data suggests that nDDSA is not classified according to Regulation EC No. 1272/2008
