Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
other: Not acute harmful
Remarks:
according to EU CLP (EC No. 1272/2008 and its amendments).
Conclusions:
An LD50 of >5000 mg/kg bw was determined in this acute oral toxicity study with rats.
Executive summary:

In an acute oral toxicity study one group of 10 rats was orally exposed to 5000 mg/kg bw of the substance. The rats were observed for signs of toxicity and clinical signs for a period of 14 days. Three animals died on day 1 of the observation period. Slow respiration and lethargy was observed. Based on the results, an LD50 of > 5000 mg/kg bw was determined in the acute oral toxicity study with rats.
