Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
not classified
Remarks:
Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: other: CLP regulation
Conclusions:
Single application of the limit dose of 2000 mg test substance per kg bw did not cause lethality in male and female Sprague-Dawley rats during the 14 day observation period, resulting in a LD50 > 2000 mg/kg bw.
Executive summary:

Male and female Sprague-Dawley rats were subjected to test acute oral toxicity. The test substance was administered by gavage at the limit dose of 2000 mg/kg bw. No animal died during the 14 day observation period, resulting in a LD50 > 2000 mg/kg bw.

Classification for acute oral toxicity is not necessary according to Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008.
