Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
Category 4 based on GHS criteria
Remarks:
Migrated information
Conclusions:
2000 mg/kg bw of the test item caused mortality in female Wistar rat (1/1) after single oral administration.
300 mg/kg of the test item caused no adverse effect and no mortality in female Wistar rat (0/5) after single oral administration.
The test item was ranked into GHS class 4 and into EPA category III ("Caution") and is considered harmful if swallowed according to EU Commission Directive 2001/59/EC (R22).
Executive summary:

An acute oral toxicity test (fixed dose method) according to OECD 420 was performed on the test item.

At 2000 mg/kg bw, one female rat was dead within 1 day after one single oral adiminstration. At 300 mg/kg bw, all five female rats tested survived the whole observation period of 14 days. The acute oral toxicity of the test item against female Wistar rats was estabhlished between 300 and 2000 mg/kg bw.

The test item was rankec into the GHS class 4 and into the EPA Category III ("Caution").

The test item was considered harmful if swallowed (R22) according to EU Commission Directive 2001/59/EC.
