Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
other: CLP criteria not met
Conclusions:
Under the experimental conditions LD50 > 5000 mg/kg bw
Executive summary:

The substance was tested for acute oral toxicity following a guideline similar to OECD 401 wiht only two doses tested. Male and females were adminsiterd 2150 and 5000 mg/kg bw and observed up to 14 days, and no martality was observed. The LD50 under the experimental conditions is 5000 mg/kg bw.
