Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
The acute oral toxicity study, conducted according to OECD Test Guideline 401 with uncertain GLP status, the concluded LD50 values for male and female rats were 7.34 ml/kg and 7.46 ml/kg (equivalent to 6899 and 7012 mg/kg bw based on relative density of 0.94 g/cm3), respectively.
