Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Interpretation of results:
- other: Not classified
- Remarks:
- Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
- Conclusions:
- The acute dermal LD50 for E000144700 is greater than 2000 mg/kg.
- Executive summary:
The acute dermal toxicity of E000144700 (CAS 68516-20-1) was assessed in a group of 5 male and 5 female albino rabbits. The test substance was applied at 2000 mg/kg under an occlusive dressing for 24 hours. None of the animals died and there were no significant signs of systemic toxicity.
The acute dermal LD50 for E000144700 (CAS 68516-20-1) is greater than 2000 mg/kg and no classification is warranted under Dir 67/548/EEC or under GHS/CLP.
