Interpretation of results:
not classified
Remarks:
Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
Conclusions:
The acute toxicity of the substance was investigated following dermal administration of a single dose to the rat at 2000 mg/kg. No mortality occurred following dosing and no signs of toxicity were observed. The lack of mortality demonstrates the LD50 to be greater than 2000 mg/kg.
Executive summary:

The acute toxicity of the substance has been investigated following dermal administration of a single dose to the rat at 2000 mg/kg. utilising OECD/EU test methods. No mortality occurred following dosing and no signs of toxicity were observed. The lack of mortality demonstrates the LD50 to be greater than 2000 mg/kg.

 

         

Endpoint conclusion
Endpoint conclusion:
no adverse effect observed
Dose descriptor:
discriminating dose
Value:
2 000 mg/kg bw

Additional information

Data are available from studies investigating effects following exposure via the oral and dermal routes of administration. No significant toxicities were apparent at limit doses of 2000 mg/kg body weight.


Justification for selection of acute toxicity – oral endpoint
Single study available for evaluation

Justification for selection of acute toxicity – dermal endpoint
Single study available for evaluation

Justification for classification or non-classification

Classification with regard to acute oral and dermal toxicity is not justified based on the observed lack of mortality at a dose level of 2000 mg/kg.
