Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
not classified
Remarks:
Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
Conclusions:
Under the conditions of this study the LD50 was > 15000 mg/kg bw in female rats.
Executive summary:

Female Wistar-rats were subjected to test acute oral toxicity. The test substance was administered by gavage in doses of 15000 mg/kg bw. After dosing the animals showed ruffled fur and crouched posture. No animal died during the 14 day observation period, resulting in a LD50 > 15000 mg/kg bw. Necroscopy revealed no macroscopic organ alterations.
