Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:

GHS criteria not met

Conclusions:

Under the conditions of the present study, single oral application of the test item GS-9207 to rats at a dose of 2000 mg/kg bw was associated with no signs of toxicity nor mortality.
The median lethal dose of GS-9207 after single oral administration to female rats, observed over a period of 14 days is: LD50 cut off (rat): unclassified.
In conformity with the criteria given in Annex VI to Commission Directive 2001/59/EC the test item GS-9207 has no obligatory labelling requirement for toxicity.
According to Annex I of regulation (EC) 1272/2008 the test item GS-9207 was unclassified.
According to OECD-GHS the test item GS-9207 has no obligatory labelling requirement for toxicity.
