Executive summary:

Objective

The objective of the present study was to identify potential toxic effects of the test item after single oral administration to rats in a stepwise procedure.

Study design

The test material was tested for acute toxicity in rats after single oral administration of 2000 mg/kg body weight. The study was performed according to the OECD Guideline for Testing of Chemicals, No. 401, the EEC Directive 91/325 and the Annex to commission Directive 92/69EEC.

Results

No severe signs of toxicity were seen in the rats (5 males, 5 females) after treatment with 2000 mg/kg of the test item.
The body weight development of the rats was inconspicuous during the study.
There were no deaths during the course of the study.
The gross pathological examination revealed no organ alterations.

Conclusion

The test material can be considered to have no acute toxic potential and to have a LD50 value higher than 2000 mg/kg after oral application to rats.
