Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
other: not classified as toxic or harmful according to the CLP Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008
Conclusions:
The LD50 (oral) was found to be be greater than 5000 mg/kg bw.
Executive summary:

Groups of 10 male Wistar rats received single oral doses (3100 or 5000 mg/kg bw) of the test item dissolved in water and were observed for 14 days. Rats dosed with 3100 mg/kg bw tolerated the treatment without clinical signs or mortality. All 10 rats dosed with 5000 mg/kg bw showed sedation and poor general condition within 2 to 6 days after application of the test item, 4/10 died.

Therefore, the LD50 (oral) is > 5000 mg/kg bw.
