Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
Ten rats (sex unknown) were orally exposed to 5,000 mg oxacycloheptadecan-2-one/kg bw. During the observaton period of 14 days, no mortality occurred. Rats were found to be slightly lethargic. Based on this data it can be concluded that the oral LD50 of oxacycloheptadecan-2-one exceeds 5000 mg/kg bw.
