Additional information

Justification for classification or non-classification

Classification, Labelling, and Packaging Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008

The available experimental test data are reliable and suitable for classification purposes. As a result the substance need to be classified and labelled as acute oral category 4 under Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008.
