Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
The LD50, dermal, rabbit was > 20mL per kg body weight when applied for 24 hours to the intact skin of rabbits.
Executive summary:

The test substance was applied to the intact skin of 4 male rabbits per group for 24 hours. The animals were observed for mortalities for further 14 days. The LD50, calculated according to the method of Thompson and Weil, was > 20 mL per kg body weight which is equal to 18840 mg/kg bw.
