Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
Category 4 based on GHS criteria
Conclusions:
In the acute oral toxicity study with doses of 1050, 1640, 2050, 2560 and 5000 mg/kg bw of the test substance, a LD50 of 1720 mg/kg bw was derived.
Executive summary:

In an orale acute toxicity study, 50 rats were orally exposed once with the test substance at concentrations of 1050, 1640, 2050, 2560 and 5000 mg/kg bw and were observed for a period of 14 days (similar to OECD 401). The LD50 value of the test material was established to be 1720 mg/kg bw.
