Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:

GHS criteria not met

Conclusions:

The LD50 value of the test substance is considered to be >2000 mg/kg bw.

Executive summary:

The acute oral toxicity of the substance was investigated in a GLP study according to OECD TG 423. The study was conducted in two consecutive steps with three rats per step. All six female rats treated with 2000 mg/kg bw by oral gavage survived the observation period. No signs of toxicity were detected. The body weight development was normal. Gross pathology showed no test substance related alterations. The LD50 value of the test substance is considered to be >2000 mg/kg bw.
