Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
Category 3 based on GHS criteria
Conclusions:
The acute oral toxicity of dicyclohexylamine was evaluated in male Wistar rats. The test substnace was administered oral by gavage at doses of 0.16, 0.18, 0.20, 0.25, 0.30 ml/mg/ bw to groups of 10 male animals. Signs of intoxication were tonical cramps, sedation, poor general condition. The LD50 was estimated as 200 mg/kg bw.
