Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
harmful
Remarks:
Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
Conclusions:
The LD50 was 900 mg/kg bw after single oral gavage in male rats (female rats not more sensitive).
Classification: H402, Cat.4 according to EC 1272/2008.
Executive summary:

Male and female Wistar-rats were subjected to test acute oral toxicity. The test substance was administered by gavage at doses from 500 to 1600 mg/kg bw for males (5 to 16% suspension in water) and 500 for females (5% suspension in water). First lethality for males was observed at 500mg/kg bw (1 of 5) up to 5 of 5 animals at 1600 mg/kg bw. No lethality observed for males at 500 mg/kg bw.

LD50 is determined to 900 mg/kg bw.
