Conclusions:
The acute dermal median lethal dose (LD50) of Brown HH 469 in rats with intact skin was in excess of 2000 mg/kg.
Executive summary:

A study was performed te determine the acute dermal median lethal dose (LD50) of Brown HH 469 in the rat. The study was designed to meet the requirements of Annex V of the EEC Council Directive 79/831/EEC, the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Developement (OECD), and the HSE Approved Code of Practice Notification of New Substances Regulations 1982.

A group of 10 Sprague-Dawley rats (5 males, 5 females) was given a single, 24 hour, dermal application of Brown HH 469 at a dose level of 2000 mg/kg.

No animals died during the 14 day observation period. The acute dermal median lethal dose (LD50) of Brown HH 469 was in excess of 2000 mg/kg.
