Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
Category 2 based on GHS criteria
Conclusions:
Although lacking methodological details, the LD50 (mouse oral) was reported to be 27 mg/kg bw.
Executive summary:

 In an acute oral toxicity study cited in a review article, mice were given a single oral dose of sodium azide (dose levels not specified). Although lacking methodological details, the LD50 (mouse oral) was reported to be 27 mg/kg bw. Applying the Globally Harmonised Classification System, the given data support the classification as Category 2 (LD50 > 5 to 50 mg/kg bw) or as Acute Tox. 2, H300 in accordance with Annex VI of CLP Regulation 1272/2008.
