Interpretation of results:
not classified
Remarks:
Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
Conclusions:
No mortalities, significant clinical signs or gross pathology changes were observed after the exposure of male and female rats to 2000 mg/kg test substance in 1% aqueous carboxymethyl cellulose.
Executive summary:

An oral acute study was performed in male and female rats under GLP conditions according the the guideline 96/54/EG, B.1tris (Acute toxic class method). 3 rats per sexe were exposed to a single administration of the test substance at concentration of 2000 mg/kg in 1% aqueous carboxymethyl cellulose. There were no mortalities, the only clinical sign was that 2 - 4 hours after the application of the substance all females showed a hunched posture. No effects in gross pathology were observed.
