Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
harmful
Remarks:
Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
Conclusions:
Substance meets criteria for classification as harmful
Executive summary:

In a reliable acute toxicity study in male and female rats which follows the principles of a guideline study, an LD50 of1880mg/kg was obtained. On the basis of these results, the substance would be classified as harmful by the oral route of ingestion
