- Frequency of observations and weighing:
Mortality/Viability: Four times during day 1 and once daily during days 2-15
Body weights: On day 1 (prior to administration), on day 8 and on day 15
Clinical signs: Four times on the day of dosing (Day 1) and once daily thereafter, until Day 15.
- Necropsy of survivors performed: yes
- Other examinations performed: none.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
In an acute oral toxicity study with rats, conducted in accordance with OECD 423 (1996) and according to GLP principles, an oral LD50 of >2000 mg/kg was determined.
Executive summary:

The acute oral toxicity in female and male rats has been studied in accordance with OECD 423 (1996), EU Method B.1 tris (1996) and according to GLP principles. The substance was dosed in polyethylene glycol at 2 g/kg bw in 3 female and 3 male rats, in 2 steps. No mortalities and no clinical signs of toxicity occurred. Necropsy did not show any abnormality. The acute oral toxicity (LD50) was determined to be >2000 mg/kg. Based on this result, the substance does not need to be classified for acute toxicity by the oral route.
