LD50
Effect level:
> 2 000 mg/kg bw

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
practically nontoxic
Remarks:
Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
Conclusions:
The acute dermal median lethal dose (LD50) was estimated to be greater than 2000 mg/kg in both sexes. Accordingly, in the EU dinotefuran does not require classification according to the CLP regulation.
