Results and discussion
Effect levels
- Sex:
- male/female
- Dose descriptor:
- LD50
- Effect level:
- 12 000 mg/kg bw
- Based on:
- test mat.
- Mortality:
- 1 female rat died directly after application
Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Interpretation of results:
- practically nontoxic
- Remarks:
- Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
- Conclusions:
- The test substance is practically non toxic within an LD50 > 12000 mg/kg bw.
- Executive summary:
As only one out of 20 rats died while the other rats did not show any symptoms over the observation period of one week, the test substance is practically non toxic with an LD50 > 12000 mg/kg bw applied in two doses of 6000 mg/kg bw within two hours.
Information on Registered Substances comes from registration dossiers which have been assigned a registration number.
