Interpretation of results:
not classified
Remarks:
Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
Conclusions:
based on the results the substance has not to be classified for acute oral toxicity
Executive summary:

Testing for acute oral toxicity was performed according to OECD guideline 401. Following concentrations were used for male rats:

630, 1000, 1600, 2000, 3150 mg / kg bw; for females only 1600 mg/kg bw. Mortality occurred in all concentrations except for the lowest one. Out of the results a LD50 of 2230 mg/ kg bw can be calculated
