Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
Toxicity Category IV
Remarks:
Migrated information Harmful if swallowed Criteria used for interpretation of results: other: CLP (EC1272/2008)
Conclusions:
According this study, 1,2,4-triazole is classified in category 4 according to the Regulation EC no.1272/2008 (CLP) with a LD50 of 1320 mg/kg bw.
Executive summary:

A guideline study (OECD 401) was performed in rats to calculate LD50. Rats were exposed to 1,2,4 -triazole at 1000, 1500, and 2000 mg/kg1000, 1500, and 2000 mg/kg bw (a single exposure), and were observed during 15 days. The mortality of each animal was reported and the LD50 was calculated. The LD50 of 1,2,4-triazole is 1320 mg/kg bw in rats.

1,2,4 -triazole is classified in Category 4 according to the regulation EC no.1272/2008 (CLP).
