Interpretation of results:
other: CLP criteria not met
Conclusions:
LD50 > 5000 mg/kg bw (3900 mg/kg bw based on active ingr.).
Executive summary:

The substance has been tested for acute toxicity by oral route to male and female Wistar rats. The LD50 was greater than 5000 mg/kg bw (3900 mg/kg bw based on active ingredient) for male and female rats.
There are no signs of intoxication.
