Remarks:

Conclusions:
Oral LD50 >2000 mg/kg bw
Executive summary:

Acute oral toxicity was determined in GLP compliant guideline study (acute toxic class method, method B1 of directive 2004/73/EC) using 6 young adult female Sprague Dawley rats (age 8-12 wk, bw 210-243 g). The test substance was administered neat as a single dose by gavage (2000 mg/kg bw) following an overnight fast, and the animals observed for 14 days post-treatment. Access to food recommenced 3-4 hr post-treatment. There were no deaths or any clinical signs noted following treatment and the animals gained weight normally. No gross abnormalities detected at on study day 14. The results demonstrate that the acute oral LD50 of NExBTL renewable diesel is greater than 2000 mg/kg bw.
