Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
Based on the results of an this oral acute toxicity study, the oral LD50 was 5 g/kg bw.
Executive summary:

A oral acute toxicity study was conducted in which 10 rats received an oral application of 5 g/kg of the test material. The animals were observed for mortality and/or systemic effects not further details were provided. Signs of lethargy were reported and the LD50 was greater than 5 g/kg body weight.
