Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
not classified
Remarks:
Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
Conclusions:
Under the experimental conditions the calculated LD50 for males was 4.81 g/kg 60% substance and for females 4.70 g/kg 60% substance. Converted to pure substance the respective LD50 value is approximately 2800 mg/kg. In accordance with Directive 67/548 and Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008 the substance is not classified.
