Applicant's summary and conclusion

Executive summary:

An oral toxicity study (OECD TG 423) with a starting dose of 2000 mg/kg bw was performed with 3 male and 3 female rats. No mortality, no clinical signs and no gross pathological findings were observed after application of the test substance in the 15-days observation period. Therefore, the LD50 was estimated to be > 2000 mg/kg bw.
