Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
The acute oral toxicity of the test item was determined. The LD50 with mice was determined to be 3190 mg/kg bw.
Executive summary:

Groups of 6 white mice (of the same sex) were administered the test material in the form of a 20 - 45% solution in sunflower oil (2.0 - 5.0 mg/kg body weight). The animals were observed for 15 days, and the LD50 was calculated per Kerber's method. No further details were provided. The LD50 value was determined to be 3190 mg/kg bw.
