Applicant's summary and conclusion

Executive summary:

In an acute oral toxicity study performed according to OECD TG 423 a single oral dose of 2000 mg/kg bw was tolerated withouth mortalities, clinical signs, effects on weight gain and gross pathological findings. Thus, the LD50 was determined for the substance with > 2000 mg/kg bw.
