Applicant's summary and conclusion

Executive summary:

The oral LD50 of Desmodur TT is > 2500 mg/kg bw for male albino rats. At 1000 mg/kg bw and above all animals showed poor general condition and accelerated breathing. The NOEL with regard to mortality and clinical signs is 500 mg/kg bw for male rats.
