Animals that died during the study showed slight redness of the gastro-intestinal mucous membrane and the intestine was filled with liquid.
Surviving animals did not show adverse effects.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
The oral rat LD50 derived after acute exposure and a 14-day recovery period, was 6.24 ml/kg bw. Assuming a relative density of 1, the oral LD50 equals 6240 mg/kg bw. When correcting for the active content (i.e. 35%) the LD50 is 2184 mg/kg bw , which is above the classification limits of the CLP Regulation.
