Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
7 hours inhalation of an saturated atmosphere did not lead to any deaths in rats (0/12).
Executive summary:

In an acute inhalation toxicity study, rats were exposed by inhalation to the test item in a saturated atmosphere for 7 hours. Animals then were observed for 7 days. No deaths and no gross pathological signs of toxicity were observed.
