Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
The acute oral toxicity of Decanemethylendimethacrylate in rats of both sexes, observed over a period of 15 days, was estimated to be greater than 5000 mg/kg.
Executive summary:

The test article decanemethylendimethacrylate was administered to rats of both sexes by oral gavage, at a dose of 5000 mg/kg.

No death, no clinical signs, no change of body weight and no macroscopic changes were observed.

Indeed, the acute oral toxicity of Decanemethylendimethacrylate in rats of both sexes, observed over a period of 15 days, was estimated to be greater than 5000 mg/kg.
