Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
The acute median lethal dose (LD50) of the test material in the female Sprague-Dawley CD strain rat was estimated to be > 2500 mg/kg bodyweight.
Executive summary:

The study was performed to assess the acute oral toxicity of the test material following a single oral administration in the Sprague-Dawley CD strain rat in accordance with OECD Guideline 423 (Acute Oral toxicity – Acute Toxic Class Method). Six fasted females (3 females/group) were administered the undiluted test material orally at a dose level of 2000 mg/kg bodyweight. All animals showed expected bodyweight gains, and no signs of systemic toxicity, deaths, or abnormalities at necropsy were observed. The acute median lethal dose (LD50) of the test material in the female Sprague-Dawley CD strain rat was estimated to be > 2500 mg/kg bodyweight.
