Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
not classified
Remarks:
Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
Conclusions:
This value suggest that the chemical 2-(2-chloroethoxy)ethanol does not exhibit acute toxicity through the oral route
Executive summary:

Acute oral toxicity value of 2-(2-chloroethoxy)ethanol in rat was found to be LD50 :6300 mg/kg. This value suggests that the chemical 2-(2-chloroethoxy)ethanol does not exhibit acute toxicity through the oral route for classification as for classification the lethal dose should be less than 2000 mg/kg.
