Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
Approximate Lethal Dose of the test substance was found to be 5000 mg/kg of body weight. Lethal doses caused severe gastritis. Clinical signs of toxicity were not observed in those rats receiving sublethal doses, nor was pathology observed when the rats were killed 10 days later.
Executive summary:

Approximate Lethal Dose of the test substance was found to be 5000 mg/kg of body weight. Lethal doses caused severe gastritis. Clinical signs of toxicity were not observed in those rats receiving sublethal doses, nor was pathology observed when the rats were killed 10 days later.
