Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
not classified
Remarks:
Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
Conclusions:
The median lethal dose of Tetraethylenglycodimethylether (LD50) was 3850 mg per kg body weight. Based on the result of this study Tetraethylenglycodimethylether is not subject for labelling and classification requirements according to regulatory requirements.
Executive summary:

The acute toxicity was tested using female Wista rats. The animal received a single dose of the test item by gavage and were observed for 14 days.

The median lethal dose of Tetraethylenglycodimethylether (LD50) after single oral administration was 3850 mg per kg body weight. Based on the result of this study Tetraethylenglycodimethylether is not subject for labelling and classification requirements according to regulatory requirements.
