Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
practically nontoxic
Remarks:
Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
Conclusions:
The LD50 of the test item was found to be > 3.2 g/kg bw.
Executive summary:

In the current study it is unclear which method was used to determine the acute oral toxicity of the test item.

It is to be noted that the conclusion mentioned in the test report is an LD50 of 7.8 g/kg. This does not match the mortality scores per dose as tabulated in the test report. Based on the mortality scores, an LD50 > 3.2 g/kg bw is found. For precautionary reasons, the lower LD50 value is retained for the purpose of the registration dossier.

As this is > 2000 mg/kg bw, the substance should not be classified according to the CLP Regulation.
