Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:

other: CLP/EU GHS criteria not met, no classification required according to Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008

Conclusions:

The acute dermal LD50 is > 2000 mg/kg bw. The test substance is not toxic by the dermal route.

Executive summary:

5 male and 5 female rats were exposed to a dose of 2000 mg/kg bw of the test substance Sucrose Palmitate Stearate MDT Grade dermally for 24 hrs under occlusive conditions. The animals were observed for 14 days after the end of exposure. No mortality was observed in the test animals, nor any other adverse effects. The acute dermal LD50 is > 2000 mg/kg bw.
