Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
not classified
Remarks:
Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: other: CLP Regulation
Conclusions:
Single application of the limit dose of 10000 mg test item per kg bw did not cause lethality in female rats during the 14 days observation period, resulting in a LD50 > 10000 mg/kg bw.
Executive summary:

Female Wistar rats were subjected to test acute oral toxicity. The test item was administered at the limit dose of 10000 mg/kg bw to ten rats. During the 14 days observation period no animals died and there were no changes found in necropsy, thus leading to a median lethal dose (LD50) > 10000 mg/kg bw.

Therefore, the test item has not to be classified for acute oral toxicity according to Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008.
