Executive summary:

A study was carried out according to EU Method B.1 and OECD Guideline 401 (Acute Oral Toxicity). Groups of 5 male and 5 female rats were administered 2000 mg/kg bw test item (limit dose) per oral gavage. Under the conditions of this study, the acute oral median lethal dosage (LD50) of the test material was greater than 2000 mg/kg bw.
