Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
Category 4 based on GHS criteria
Conclusions:
In an acute toxic class study, conducted to OECD Test Guideline 423 and to GLP (reliability score 1), the acute oral LD50 for 3-chloropropyl(dimethoxy)methylsilane was in the range 200-2000 mg/kg bw in rats. All animals of both sexes showed slight to moderately reduced motility, slight to moderate ataxia, slight to moderately reduced muscle tone and slight to moderate dyspnoea from 15 minutes up to 24 hours after administration at 2000 mg/kg bw.
