- Diet (e.g. ad libitum): ad libitum, NAFAG No. 890, NAFAG AG, Gossau, SG (Switzerland)
- Water (e.g. ad libitum): ad libitum

ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS
- Temperature (°C): 22 ± 3°C
- Humidity (%): 55 ± 15%
- Air changes (per hr): 15 changes per hour
- Photoperiod (hrs dark / hrs light): 12 hours cycle dark/light

Administration / exposure

Route of administration:
oral: gavage
Vehicle:
other: Distilled water containing 0.5% carboxymethylcellulose and 0.1% polysorbate 80
Doses:
5000 mg/kg body weight
No. of animals per sex per dose:
5 animals per sex per dose
Control animals:
no
Details on study design:
- Duration of observation period following administration: 14 days or until symptoms have disappeared
- Frequency of observations and weighing: daily for mortality and sign or symptoms; on days 1, 7, 14 and at death for body weight
- Necropsy of survivors performed: yes
Statistics:
From the body weights, the group means and their standard deviations were calculated.
Where feasable, the LD50 including the 95% confidence limit were computed by the logit method (J. Berkson, J.Am. Stat. Ass. 39. 357-65, 1944)

Results and discussion

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
other: CLP criteria not met
Conclusions:
LD50 > 5000 mg/kg body weight.
Executive summary:

Method

The test substance was tested for acute toxicity for oral route on rats following the OECD guideline 401. The strain chosen for the test was: Rat, Tif:RAIf, F3-crosses of RII 1/Tif x RII 2/Tif. They were caged in groups of 5 in Macrolon cages type 4 with food and water freely available.

Prior to dosing, the animals were fasted overnight. The animals were allocated to the different dose groups by random selection.

The test substance was administered orally by gastric intubation (gavage) at a dose level of 5000 mg/kg bw on 5 males and 5 females. The observation period was 14 days or until all symptoms have disappeared.

Spontaneously dying animals were submitted to a gross necropsy; survivors at the end of the observation period.

No deaths were observed during the exposure and post exposure period and no gross lesions were found at necropsy.

Results

The LD50 observed was higher than 5000 mg/kg bw.
