Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:

According to OECD 407 test method, the NOAEL of Everdirect SH12 for the rats was great than 1000 mg/kg B.W..

Executive summary:

This test using the procedures outlined in the SuperLab Study Plan for M62-151100083001EN and OECD 407 (OECD, 2008).The test article was administered to the three treatment groups by oral gavage in a dose of 62.5, 250 and 1000 mg/kg B.W. for 28 consecutive days. There were six male and six female Sprague-Dawley rats in each group. Clinical observation of the rats was carried out daily and the body weight and feed intake of the rats were recorded once a week. Results of the study indicated that rats in all group gained weight normally and did not show any abnormal clinical signs and ophthalmological examination during the study period. At end of the study, there were no significant abnormalities of the urinalysis,haematologyand clinical biochemistry parameters between the treatment and control groups. Necropsy and histopathological examination indicated that no treatment-related change was found. On the basis of the test results given above, the NOAEL of Everdirect SH12 for the rats was great than 1000 mg/kg B.W..
