Interpretation of results:

Conclusions:
LD50 (oral, rat) > 3000 mg/kg bw
Executive summary:

The acute oral toxicity of the test item was evaluated in an experimental study similar to the OECD Guideline 420, according to the fixed dose procedure. The test item was administered to groups of 10 male/female Wistar rats by oral gavage, at doses of 1000 or 3000 mg/kg bw. One rat from the low-dose group died on the first day of the observation period; no further mortality occurred in either group. The acute oral LD50 is, therefore, considered to be greater than 3000 mg/kg bw.
