Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
other: Not classified
Conclusions:
The lethal concentration (LD50) value for acute oral toxicity test was considered to be >5000 mg/kg bw, when group of 5 male and female Carworth Farm Strain E SPF rats were treated with given test chemical orally.
Executive summary:

Acute oral toxicity study was done in group of 5 male and female Carworth Farm Strain E SPF rats using test material. No mortality was observed at dose 5000 mg/kg bw. In clinical signs examination, substantial amounts of coloured material was excreted in the faeces. Hence, LD50 value was considered to be >5000 mg/kg bw, when rats were treated with test chemical orally.
