Effect levels
- Sex:
- male/female
- Dose descriptor:
- LD50
- Effect level:
- > 5 000 mg/kg bw
- Based on:
- test mat.
- Mortality:
- No animal died during the observation period of 14 days.
- Clinical signs:
- other: Isolated instances of diarrhea and mucousy diarrhea were noted during the study. Nine animals were normal on Day 14.
- Gross pathology:
- All animals, sacrificed on Day 14, were normal internally. One animal had scaly skin and one animal had ulcerated treated skin.

- Skin reactions were variable ranging from slight to severe.
Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Interpretation of results:
- not classified
- Remarks:
- Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
- Conclusions:
- The substance was acutely non toxic to rabbits in an acute dermal toxicity test with an LD50 value of >5000 mg/kg bw. The substance is not classified according to CLP.
- Executive summary:
Ten (5 male and 5 female) healthy, New Zealand White rabbits with initial body weights of 2.3-2.8 kilograms received one dermal application of test material. Food and water were available freely. The test material was applied to clipped, intact or abraded abdominal skin under occluded patches for 24 hours of contact. The exposure site was wiped, but not washed, to remove excess material. Observations for mortality and/or systemic effects were made daily for 14 days. Dermal reactions were scored at 24 hours by the Draize scoring system and were variable ranging from slight to severe. Body weights were recorded pretest and at 14 days. Body weight changes were within expected limits. Gross necropsy was conducted on all animals, where one animal had ulcerated treated skin and one animal had scaly treated skin. 5 g/kg no effects, acute dermal LD50 >5 g/kg.
