Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
The LD50 was determined to be > 2000 mg/kg.
Executive summary:

The acute dermal toxicity of the test substance to rats was investigated according to EEC B.3 and following GLP principles. A limit test using a dose of 2000 mg/kg was conducted.

No mortality was observed in males and females.

The dermal LD50 value of the test substance was established to be > 2000 mg/kg body weight.
