Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
The LD50 value of the test item was determined to be > 2000 mg/kg bw.
Executive summary:

The acute oral toxicity of the test item was investigated in a study according to OECD TG 401 and EU Method B.1 with Wistar rats. Five animals of each sex were exposed to the test item by oral gavage at a limit dose of 2000 mg/kg bw. The animals were observed for 14 days. No mortality occured and the observed clinical signs (reduced spontaneous reaction, drafted flanks, tumbling gait, pilorection, respiratory sounds) were reversible within 4 days. The body weight was not affected. No macroscopic changes were noticed at necropsy. Therefore, the LD 50 was determined to be >2000 mg/kg bw.
