Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
Category 3 based on GHS criteria
Executive summary:

Acute oral toxicity was tested with hydrazine monohydrate in male and female rats according to OECD TG 401 (gavage, 100-286 mg/kg bw) and resulted in the death of some animals within 24 hours after treatment. All animals displayed clinical signs including hypoactivity, abnormal gait, salivation, adoption of a prone or lateral position, hair soiling amd wasting. LD50(male) : 269 mg/kg bw and LD50(female): 169 -220 mg/kg bw (MHLW 2003). Assuming that hydrazine monohydrate solution contains 64 % hydrazine unaqueous, the respective LD50 (rat, oral) is 173 mg/kg bw for males and ranges between 108 and 141 mg/kg bw for females.
