Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
not classified
Remarks:
LD50 >2000 mg/kg bw Criteria used for interpretation of results: other: EU DSD and EU CLP
Conclusions:
67/548/EEC: Acute oral toxicity: no classification warranted
1272/2008/EC: Acute oral toxicity: no classification warranted

No death were seen in an OECD and GLP compliant acute oral toxicity study in male and female Wistar rats after single oral application of 2000 mg/kg of Hansa Brilliant Yellow 5GX IN (Pigment Yellow 74).
