Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
Under the described test conditions, mortality did not occur up to the highest dose tested of 20000 mg/kg/bw. Thus, the LD50 is above 20000 mg/kg/bw, and according to Regulation (EC) 1272/2008 the data are conclusive but not sufficient for classification.
