Interpretation of results:
practically nontoxic
Remarks:
Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
Executive summary:

The acute dermal toxicity of CTFEP (purity 91.4%) to rat was determined in a GLP compliant test according to OECD 423 (Sommer 2000). Since the study was performed under GLP and according the guideline and based on the good documentation the study was awarded with Klimisch 1. The acute dermal toxicity testing in 5 male and 5 female rats showed that the LD50 of the test item (containing 91.4 % CTFEP) was > 2000mg/kg body weight. No mortality was observed. There were no remarkable clinical observations for any animal. There were no effects on body weight development in males. A slight loss of body weight was recorded in one female during the first week after treatment and in one female during the second week after treatment. Necropsy examinations revealed no observable abnormalities. There were no remarkable findings for local tolerance for any animal.

The obtained results are considered as relevant for the risk assessment.
