Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
Oral LD50 Combined > 5000 mg/kg bw
Executive summary:

In an acute oral toxicity study, groups of Wistar rats (5/sex/dose) were administered a single oral (gavage) dose of test material suspended at 25% in corn oil at 5000 mg/kg bw. Animals were then observed for mortality, clinical signs and bodyweights for 14 days and at the end of the study the surviving animals were sacrificed for macroscopic examination.

The test material was not toxic orally to rats under conditions of this test. The internal organ on superficial examination appeared normal, excep for a deposit of fibrous tissue in the thoracic cavity of one animal.

Oral LD50 Combined > 5000 mg/kg bw.

 

Under the test conditions, the test material is not classified according to the Regulation EC No. 1272/2008 (CLP) and to the GHS.

This study is considered as acceptable and satisfies the requirement for acute oral toxicity endpoint.
