Materials and methods

Principles of method if other than guideline:
Aqueous solutions of test substance administered in single doses to groups of rats of both sexes by oral intubation. Animals were observed for 7 days after treatment and autopsy was carried out on those animals which died during this period and on randomly selected survivors at 7 days. Acute LD50 values with 95 % confidence limits were calculated by the method of Weil (1952).
GLP compliance:
no
Test type:
standard acute method
Limit test:
no
