Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
other: CLP/EU GHS criteria not met, no classification required according to Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008
Conclusions:
The test substance has a LD50 of 4500 mg/kg bw given as a single dose.
Executive summary:

The study has been performed in order to investigate the toxic propreties of the test substance.

Each groups of 6 males and 6 females of guinea pigs were fed through a stomach tube perorally in the form of a 20 -45% solution in sunflower-seed oil (0.2 - 0.5 mL per kg bw) given as a single dose.

The animals were observed for 15 days.

No differences in the sex sensitivity of these animals were observed.

As a result, the test substance can be referred to as a low-toxic compound with an LD50 of 4500 mg/kg bw.
