Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
Category 4 based on GHS criteria
Conclusions:
The maximal non-lethal dose determined experimentally was 300 mg/kg in female rats (with 300 < LD50 < 2000 mg/kg). This dose induced decreased activity and soiled urogenital area as well as lower body weight gain at the beginning of the study.
