Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
Category 4 based on GHS criteria
Remarks:
Migrated information
Conclusions:
The acute oral LD50 of DETA in rats is 1.62 ml/kg (using the density value of 958.6 kg/m3 (IUCLID section 4.4), this corresponds to 1553 mg/kg).
Executive summary:

The acute oral toxicity of DETA was examined in rats. The acute oral LD50 of DETA in rats is 1.62 ml/kg. Using the density value of 958.6 kg/m3 (IUCLID section 4.4), this corresponds to 1553 mg/kg.
