Results and discussion

Effect levels

Sex:

male

Dose descriptor:

LD50

Effect level:

> 5 000 mg/kg bw

Remarks on result:

other: Wistar rat

Mortality:

No mortalities occured.

Clinical signs:

other: No clinical signs of toxicity were observed.

Gross pathology:

not reported

Any other information on results incl. tables

LD50 estimate is so high (>5 g/kg bw) that potential sex differences or possible effects by non-fasting will be irrelevant.

The study is reliable for classification and labelling purposes.

Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU

Conclusions:

No classification required.

Executive summary:

In an acute oral toxicity study 10 male Wistar rats were administered one oral dose of 5000 mg/kg of the undiluted test substance. The animals were observed for 14 days. No mortalities occured on no clinical signs of toxicity were observed. The LD(50) after oral administration to male Wistar rats was > 5000 mg/kg bw.
