Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
harmful
Remarks:
Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: expert judgment
Conclusions:
Single oral application of test material "Echtrot BB Base flüssig" caused lethality in male and female Wistar rats thus resulting in a LD 50 of 1890 mg/kg bw (corresponding to 1134 mg/kg bw submission substance only). The test material contains relevant amounts of the submission substance. Therefore the test results are adequate to fulfil the endpoint requirements.
Executive summary:

Male and female Wistar rats were subjected to test acute oral toxicity according to a standard acute method (OECD TG 401). The test material "Echtrot BB Base flüssig" was administered by gavage at different doses. Animals showed a range of clinical signs and lethality (combined with visible changes in necropsy) was observed during the 14 days observation period, leading to a LD50 of 1890 mg/kg bw (corresponding to 1134 mg/kg bw submission substance; male and female rats combined).
