Details on test animals or test system and environmental conditions:
TEST ANIMALS
- Animal strain as given in the report: NMRI EOPS
- Weight at study initiation: 18 to 20 g
- Fasting period before study: 4 h

Administration / exposure

Route of administration:
oral: gavage
Vehicle:
unchanged (no vehicle)
Details on oral exposure:
MAXIMUM DOSE VOLUME APPLIED:
In the report a dose volume of 40 mL/kg bw is stated. This is considered to be a calculation error for the following reasons:
The physical state of the test substance is liquid and therefore it was administered unchanged in the limit test.
The density of the test substance at 20 °C is 0.97 g/mL corresponding to an applied dose volume of approx. 5 mL/kg bw.


Doses:
5000 mg/kg bw
No. of animals per sex per dose:
5 males
Control animals:
no
Details on study design:
- Duration of observation period following administration: 7 days
- Frequency of observations and weighing: animals were observed daily and individual body weights were determined weekly
- Necropsy of survivors performed: yes
- Other examinations performed: clinical signs, body weight
