Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
20% of the animals used at the dose level of 5g/kg died. LD50 is greater than 5ml/kg
Executive summary:

In this guideline (CFR 1500.3) study the LD50 of the test material was determined to be 5g/kg bw. 5 male and 5 female rats were dosed orally by gavage at 5g/kg and observed for 2 weeks post-dose. 2 deaths were observed.
