Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
other: Not acute harmful.
Remarks:
According to Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008 and its mendments.
Conclusions:
An LD50 of 5000 mg/kg bw was obtained in the acute dermal toxicity study with rabbits. Based on the results, the substance is acutely toxic at 5000 mg/kg bw according to GHS.
Executive summary:

In an acute dermal toxicity study performed equivalent to OECD 402 guideline, one group of 6 rabbits were dermally exposed to 5000 mg/ kg bw of Fleuramone. The rabbits were observed for signs of toxicity and clinical signs for a period of 14 days. One animal died on day 3 and two animals died on day 4. The animals that died on day 3 and 4 showed ataxia at 24 hours followed by prostration and death. The surviving animals showed progressive drying and cracking, developing into shedding of skin and continuing up to end of the 14 days. Based on the results, an LD50 of 5000 mg/kg bw was obtained in the acute dermal toxicity study with rabbits. Based on the results, the substance is acutely toxic at 5000 mg/kg bw.
