Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
not classified
Remarks:
Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
Conclusions:
The acute dermal toxicity LD50 on rats was found to be > 2000 mg/kg.
Executive summary:

The study was performed according to the standard method EU B.2 on Wistar rats with a single dose of 2000 mg/kg. Five animals were used per sex. The animals were treated dermally by semi-occlusive application of an aqueous suspension of the the test material. The LD50 was determined to be > 2000 mg/kg; therefore, the test item does not have any classification/labelling requirements.
