Mortality:
8/10 rats died by Day 1 of the post-administration period. The remaining two rats (2 x male) dosed with the test material survived until Day 14 of the post-administration period.
Clinical signs:
other: salivation and hypoactivity were observed by the 2.5 and 4 hour observation periods for the three males that died. There were no clinical signs of toxicty observed in any of the females.
Gross pathology:
Occurred only in animals that died during the course of the study:
External observations: bloody muzzle and wet tail
Internal observations: confined to the gastrointestinal tract, stomach and small intestine distended with gas and fluid, small intestine appeared red with haemorrhagic sites.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
harmful
Remarks:
Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
Conclusions:
The acute oral administration of a 33% solution of the test material (5 g/kg bw) resulted in an LD50 <1650 mg active/kg bw.
Executive summary:

The acute oral toxicity of the test material as a 33% solution in water was assessed in male and female rats in accordance to OECD Guideline No. 401. Five male and five female rats were dosed by oral gavage with 5000 mg/kg bw (1650 mg active/kg) . After a 14 day observation period there were 8/10 mortalities. There were no treatment related effects observed on bodyweight or at gross necropsy of the remaining two male rats. The LD50 was < 1650 mg active/kg bw.

In accordance with Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008 the substance is classified for acute toxicity by the oral route. In the absence of a derived LD50 value the substance is labelled as Category 4.
