Interpretation of results:
Category 3 based on GHS criteria
Conclusions:
Under the conditions of this test, an acute oral toxicity LD50 of 250 mg/kg was determined for the test item in rats.
Executive summary:

In an acute oral toxicity study equivalent to OECD guideline 401, male and femal rats were orally administered with a 0.1 - 30% aqueous suspension of the test substance in CMC. Five animals per sex received the test substance at doses of 200, 250, 400, 800, 1250, 1600 and 3200 mg/kg and were observed for 14 days. All animals had died in the four highest dose groups after 14 days.
In the dose groups 800 to 3200 dyspnoea and crouched position was observed immediately after application. After hours and on the following days some animals showed apathy, atony, red stained feces and urine, accelerated or intermittent respiration, partly chrouched position.The last animals died after 10 days.
The animals of the dose groups 400 to 200 mg/kg showed immediately after the start of the experiment accelerated breathing. In the afternoon and in the follow-up time crouched position, accelerated or irregular breathing, some animals showed atony, partly reddish feces and urine and blood-encrusted snouts. The male animals of the dose 400 mg/kg were without findings after 6 days, while the females still showed crouched position until the end of the experiment. The survivors of the dose 250 and 200 mg/kg were between 4 and 12 days without findings.
Based on these results, an LD50 of 250 mg/kg (m/f) was determined for rats.

Additional information

In an acute oral toxicity study equivalent to OECD guideline 401, male and femal rats were orally administered with a 0.1 - 30% aqueous suspension of the test substance in CMC (BASF 1973). Five animals per sex received the test substance at doses of 200, 250, 400, 800, 1250, 1600 and 3200 mg/kg and were observed for 14 days. All animals had died in the four highest dose groups after 14 days.
In the dose groups 800 to 3200 dyspnoea and crouched position was observed immediately after application. After hours and on the following days some animals showed apathy, atony, red stained feces and urine, accelerated or intermittent respiration, partly crouched position.The last animals died after 10 days.
The animals of the dose groups 400 to 200 mg/kg showed accelerated breathing immediately after the start of the experiment. In the afternoon and in the follow-up time crouched position, accelerated or irregular breathing. Some animals showed atony, partly reddish feces and urine and blood-encrusted snouts. The male animals of the dose 400 mg/kg were without findings after 6 days, while the females still showed crouched position until the end of the experiment. The survivors of the dose 250 and 200 mg/kg were without findings between 4 and 12 days.
Based on these results, an LD50 of 250 mg/kg (m/f) was determined for rats.

Justification for classification or non-classification

Classification, Labelling, and Packaging Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008
The available data are reliable and suitable for classification purposes under Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008. Based on available data on acute oral toxicity, the test item is classified as Acute Tox. 3, H301 (toxic if swallowed) according to Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008 (CLP), as amended for the tenth time in Regulation (EU) No 2017/776.
