Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
The acute oral LD50 of the test material was reported to be in excess of 5.0 g/kg.
Executive summary:

The acute oral toxicity of the test material was investigated with 10 rats in a limit test. The animals were orally administered test material at 5.0 g/kg.

None of the 10 animals tested died during the study. Toxic signs at 5.0 g/kg included lethargy, ataxia, ptosis, diarrhea, piloerection, chromorhinorrhea and chromodacryorrhea. At necropsy, nine of the animals appeared normal. One animal had dark areas in the lungs and a yellow exudate in the nose/mouth.

The acute oral LD50 of the test material was reported to be in excess of 5.0 g/kg.

The summary report contains extremely limited detail on experimental conditions.
