Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
In an acute oral toxicity study, conducted to a protocol similar to the now deleted OECD Test Guideline 401 and pre-GLP, HEDP (2-3Na) was administered by oral gavage to female rats. An LD50 of 3550mg/kg which is equivalent to 2925 mg/kg bw/day active acid was concluded.
