Details on test animals or test system and environmental conditions:

Animals were received from Charles River, Stone Ridge NY, on 10 Mar 2016. Following an acclimation period of at least five days, three male and three healthy, non-pregnant and nulliparous female Sprague
Dawley rats were assigned to treatment groups without conscious bias. The animals were born on 13 Jan 2016 and 20 Jan 2016. The pretest body weight range was
278 - 299 grams for males and 184 - 208 grams for females. The animals were identified by cage notation and indelible body marks, and housed in suspended wire
cages; five per sex per cage prior to dosing and three per sex per cage following dosing. Absorbent paper bedding was placed beneath the cages and changed at least three times per week. Fresh PMI Rat
Chow (Diet #5012) was freely available except for 16-20 hours prior to dosing. Water was available ad libitum. The animal room, reserved exclusively for rats on acute tests, was temperature controlled, had a
12-hour light/dark cycle, and was kept clean and vermin free.

KG, Rosenberg, Germany) equipped with water bottles.
- Diet (e.g. ad libitum): Pelleted rodent diet (SM R/M-Z from SSNIFF® Spezialdiäten GmbH, Soest, Germany) was provided ad libitum throughout the study, except during designated procedures

was clipped.
- % coverage: The test item was applied in an area of approximately 10% of the total body
surface, i.e. approximately 18 cm² for females.
- Type of wrap if used: The test item was held in contact with the skin with a dressing, consisting of a surgical gauze patch (Surgy 1D), successively covered with Coban elastic bandage. A piece of Micropore tape was additionally used for fixation of the bandages in females only.

REMOVAL OF TEST SUBSTANCE

TEST MATERIAL
- Amount(s) applied (volume or weight with unit): The dose volume for each animal was based on the body weight measurement prior to dosing. Dose volume (mL/kg body weight) was calculated as follows: Dose level (g/kg) / spec.gravity or density (g/mL) * purity correction factor.

Details on study design:

- Duration of observation period following administration: 14 days
- Frequency of observations and weighing: Animals were observed for general health/mortality and moribunditytwice daily, in the morning and at the end of the working day; Post-dose observations were performed at periodic intervals on the day of dosing (at least
three times) and once daily thereafter: Animals were weighed individually on Day 1 (pre-dose), 8 and 15.
- Necropsy of survivors performed: yes/no
- Other examinations performed: irritation. The skin reactions were assessed approximately 24, 48 and 72 hours after the removal of the dressing and test item. Adjacent areas of untreated skin ofeach animal served as controls.

Preliminary study:

A range finding study was performed in order to select the dose causing no mortality or
significant toxicity to be used in the main study. One animal was dosed at 2000 mg/kg. Based on the results of the range finding study, two animals were dosed at 2000 mg/kg.

All results presented in the tables of the report are calculated using values as per the raw data rounding procedure and may not be exactly reproduced from the individual data presented.
The dermal LD50 value of the test item was ranked within the following ranges: 0-50, 50-
200, 200-1000 or 1000-2000 mg/kg b.w. or as exceeding 2000 mg/kg b.w.
The results can be evaluated according to the Globally Harmonized System of Classification
and Labelling of Chemicals (GHS) of the United Nations (including all amendments) and the
Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 16
December 2008 on classification, labelling and packaging of items and mixtures (including
all amendments).

Interpretation of results:

GHS criteria not met

Conclusions:

The dermal LD50 value of test item in Wistar Han rats was established to exceed 2000 mg/kg body weight.
Based on these results, the test item does not have to be classified and has no obligatory
labelling requirement for acute dermal toxicity according to the Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labelling of Chemicals (GHS) of the United Nations (2017) (including all amendments) and Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008 on classification, labelling and packaging of items and mixtures (including all amendments).

Executive summary:

TThe objective of this study was to determine the potential toxicity of 6-chlorohexan-1-ol, when given by a single dermal dose.
The study was carried out based on the guideline described in:
• OECD No. 402 (2017) "Acute Dermal Toxicity".
Initially, 6-chlorohexan-1-ol was administered to a single female Wistar Han rat by a single dermal application at 2000 mg/kg body weight for 24 hours in a range finder study. Based on the results, the main study was performed by dosing two females at 2000 mg/kg. All animals were subjected to daily observations and weekly determination of body weight. Macroscopic examination was performed after terminal sacrifice (Day 15). No mortality occurred.
No clinical signs were noted in the animals. Furthermore, no irritation was noted for any of
the animals at any time point. The body weight gain shown by the surviving animals during the observation period was within the range expected for rats used in this type of study.
No abnormalities were found at macroscopic post mortem examination of the animals.
The dermal LD50 value of 6-chlorohexan-1-ol in Wistar Han rats was established to exceed
2000 mg/kg body weight.
Based on these results, PU-2020-905 does not have to be classified and has no obligatory
labelling requirement for acute dermal toxicity according to the Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labelling of Chemicals (GHS) of the United Nations (2017) (including all amendments) and Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008 on classification, labelling and packaging of items and mixtures (including all amendments).
