Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
Category 3 based on GHS criteria
Conclusions:
A range-finding acute toxicity (dermal) experiment in rabbits obtained an LD50 (lethal dose, 50 %) of 0.52 ml/kg (478 mg/kg). This value falls within the GHS criteria for classification as Acute Toxicity Category 3 via the dermal route.
