Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
The test substance had a acute oral LD50 of greater than 5000 mg/kg bw in rats.
Executive summary:

A test for acute oral toxicity was done in rats. The animals were observed for 14 days after treatment. One rat died after 4 days and all animals showed slight lethargy. The acute oral LD50 for rats was established to be greater than 5000 mg/kg bw.
