Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
not classified
Remarks:
Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
Conclusions:
Single application of 10000 mg test substance per kg bw did not cause lethality in female Wistar-rats during the 14 day observation period, resulting in a LD50 > 10000 mg/kg bw.
Executive summary:

Female Wistar-rats were subjected to test acute oral toxicity. The test substance was administered by gavage at a dose of 10000 mg/kg bw (12.5% suspension in sesame oil). No animal died during the 14 day observation period, resulting in a LD50 >10000 mg/kg bw.
