Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
other: not classified according to the CLP Regulation (EC 1272/2008)
Conclusions:
LD0 = 2000 mg/kg
LD50 > 2000 mg/kg
Executive summary:

Method

Test substance was administered to 5/rat/sex by gavage at dose of 2000 mg/kg. Test animals were observed for 14 days after dosing.

Results

No mortality was recorded, thus LD0 = 2000 mg/kg and LD50 > 2000 mg/kg.
