Additional information
Justification for classification or non-classification
In both, the acute oral and the acute dermal toxicity studies with NA-11, all animals survived the limit dose of 2000 mg/kg b.w. Therefore, classification for acute oral or dermal toxicity is not required [REGULATION (EC) 1272/2008].
According to the result of the acute inhalation toxicity study NA - 11 has to be classified as acute toxic category 4 (Regulation (EC) 1272/2008).
