Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
Category 4 based on GHS criteria
Conclusions:
Under the applied test condition the test substance has an LD50 value of 1690 mg/kg bw.
Executive summary:

In a study similar to OECD guideline 401, test substance was administered via oral gavage to 10 male CD rats per dose group (1000, 1300, 1700, 2000, 3000 mg/kg bw). The LD 50 value was calculated to be 1690 mg/kg bw. Clinical signs included salivation, lung noise, diarrhea and stained perineum.
