Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
other: not classified
Conclusions:
Based on the results obtained with phosphinic acid, diethyl, aluminium salt (source substance) the LD 50 is greater than 2000 mg/kg bw. The substance does not have to be classied according to EU Classification Labelling and Packaging Regulation (1272/2008/EC).
Executive summary:

Acute oral toxicity testing of phosphinic acid, diethyl, aluminium salt (source substance) in the rat yielded a LD50 above 2000 mg/kg bw in both male and female animals.After admimistration of 2000 mg/kg bw neither deaths nor symptoms occurred.

Development of body weight was not impaired.

The animals killed at the end of the observation period showed no macroscopically visible changes.
