Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
Under the conditions of this study the median lethal dose of the test item after oral administration was found to be greater than 2,000 mg/kg body weight in rats.
Executive summary:

The study was performed to assess the acute toxicity following oral administration in Wistar rats in a GLP-compliant study performed according OECD 423 guideline.

Single doses of 2,000 mg/kg body weight of test material preparations in doubly distilled water were given to two administration groups of three fasted female animals, each, by gavage in a sequential manner. After an observation period of 14 days no mortality occurred. Moreover, no clinical signs were observed. The mean body weights of the administration groups increased throughout the study period. No macroscopic pathologic abnormalities were noted in the animals of the 2,000 mg/kg administration group examined at the end of the observation period.

Under the conditions of this study, the median lethal dose of the test item after oral administration was found to be greater than 2,000 mg/kg body weight in rats.
