Study design

In this study performed equivalent to OECD GL 401 the test item was tested for acute toxicity in female rats after single oral administration of 5000 mg/kg body weight.

Results

No signs of toxicity and no deaths during the course of the study were seen in dosed rats. The body weight development of the rats was inconspicuous during the study and the gross pathological examination revealed no organ alterations.

Conclusion

Based on the result of this study, it is concluded that the test material has no acute toxic potential and that the LD50 value is higher than 5000 mg/kg after single oral administration in female rats.

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
Based on the result of this study, it is concluded that the test material has no acute toxic potential and that the LD50 value is higher than 5000 mg/kg after single oral administration in female rats.
Executive summary:

Based on the result of this study, it is concluded that the test material has no acute toxic potential and that the LD50 value is higher than 5000 mg/kg after single oral administration in female rats.
