Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
not classified
Remarks:
Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
Conclusions:
The LD50 of bentonite acid leached was >2000mg/kg and is therefore not classified in accordance with CLP Regulation (EC) no. 1272/2008
