Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
Category 4 based on GHS criteria
Conclusions:
Under the applied test condition the test substance has an LD50 value of 1170 mg/kg bw.
Executive summary:

In a study similar to OECD guideline 401, test substance was administered via oral gavage to 5 male and 5 female Wistar rats per dose group (681, 1000, 1470 and 2150 mg/kg bw). The LD 50 value was calculated to be 1170 mg/kg bw. Clinical signs included dyspnea, apathy and poor general state.
