Additional information

Justification for selection of acute toxicity – oral endpoint
Only one study available

Justification for selection of acute toxicity – inhalation endpoint
Study scientifically unjustified.

Justification for selection of acute toxicity – dermal endpoint
Only one study available

Justification for classification or non-classification

No significant signs of toxicity are observed in acute oral and dermal studies in rat. Both LD50 are > 2000 mg/kg bw.

The test substance does not required classification for acute toxicity.
