Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
other: Not acute harmful.
Remarks:
According to Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008.
Conclusions:
An LD50 of >5000 mg/kg bw was obtained in the acute oral toxicity study with rats. Based on this result, the substance is not acute harmful.
Executive summary:

In an acute oral toxicity study performed equivalent to OECD 401 guideline, one group of 10 rats were orally exposed to the substance. The rats were observed for signs of toxicity and clinical signs for a period of 14 days. No deaths occurred and no clinical signs were observed. An LD50 of >5000 mg/kg bw was obtained in the acute oral toxicity study with rats. Based on this result, the substance is not acute harmful.
