Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
The acute dermal median lethal dose (LD50) of the test material in guinea pigs was found to be > 2000 mg/kg bodyweight. In 5 female and 5 male animals tested at 2000 mg/kg bodyweight there was no mortality observed and no clinical signs of systemic toxicity.
