Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
Category 5 based on GHS criteria
Conclusions:
LD50 was considered to be 3756 mg/kg bw when rabbits were treated with 3'-Nitroacetophenone by dermal application.
Executive summary:

In a Acute dermal toxicity study, rabbits were treated with 3'-Nitroacetophenone in the concentration of 3756 mg/kg bw by dermal application. 50 % mortality was observed in treated rabbits at 3756 mg/kg bw after 14 days. Therefore,LD50 was considered to be3756 mg/kg bw when rabbits were treated with 3'-Nitroacetophenone by dermal application.
