Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
practically nontoxic
Remarks:
Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
Conclusions:
The substance was tested with a limit test method and acute oral toxicity for rats is LD50 > 1500 mg/kg bw based on active ingredient
Executive summary:

The substance was tested for acute toxicity on Wistar rats. No signs of toxicity are observed during the experiment at dose of 2000 mg/kg bw. The substance is not toxic for oral administration.
