Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
other: Not classified according to the CLP Regulation (EC n. 1272/2008)
Conclusions:
The substance shows a LD50 =16000 mg/kg b.w.
Executive summary:

The substance has been tested for acute toxicity by oral route according to a method similar to the one described by OECD Guideline 401; 30 Wistar rats are tested with the substance at concentration of 4000, 8000 and 16000 mg/kg by gavage, 10 animals per dose.

During the study the following rates of mortality were observed:

At the dose of 4000 mg/kg no mortality was observed and at the dose of 8000 mg/kg bw one rat were found dead. At the highest dose tested 5 rats died.

Results

LD50 = 16000 mg/kg bw
