Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
Category 5 based on GHS criteria
Conclusions:
Based on the available data, the substance is:
- not classified according to the Annex VI of the Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008 (CLP) as the oral LD50 is higher than 2000 mg/kg bw
- classified as category 5 according to the GHS since rat Oral LD50 is lower than 5000 mg/kg bw (2500 mg/kg bw)
Executive summary:

In an acute oral toxicity study, performed similarly to OECD Guideline No. 401, groups of rats (10/dose) were administered a single oral dose of test material at 2000, 2500, 3200, 4000 and 5000 mg/kg bw. Animals were then observed for mortality and clinical signs for 14 days.

5/10, 6/10, 6/10, 9/10 and 10/10 animals died at 2000, 2500, 3200, 4000 and 5000 mg/kg bw, respectively. Immediate stimulation followed by ataxia was observed.

Rat Oral LD50 = 2500 mg/kg bw (95 % confidence limits of 2030-3080 mg/kg bw)

Based on the available data, the substance is:

- not classified according to the Annex VI of the Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008 (CLP) as the oral LD50 is higher than 2000 mg/kg bw

- classified as category 5 according to the GHS since rat Oral LD50 is lower than 5000 mg/kg bw (2500 mg/kg bw)

This study is considered as acceptable and satisfies the requirement for acute oral toxicity endpoint.
