Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Remarks:
Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
Conclusions:
Not toxic according to EU criteria, LD50 > 25000 kg/kg bw
Executive summary:

Groups of 3 male and 2 female rats were given Dechlorane Plus as suspension in aqueous methylcellulose once orally at dose levels of 1,500, 3,000, 6,000, 12,500, or 25,000 mg/kg bw by gavage and were observed for 14 days for mortality. No mortality occurred. The NOEL was determined at 25,000 mg/kg bw. Dechlorane Plus was nontoxic.
