Conclusions:
In a determination of the acute oral toxicity on male and female rats it was found that the LD50 of the test item is greater than 16000 mg/kg body weight.
Executive summary:

The test item was given to rats by oral administration (40 ml/kg b.w) to obtain information on the toxicity, in particular lethality, of the test item.

The vehicle was administrated to 5 male and 5 female Spague-Dawley rats. Test item was administrated as 40% suspension in CMC (0.5%) oral to 5 male and 5 female Spague-Dawley rats. Dose level of 16000 mg/kg b.w. was employed.

One female rat of dose group died between 24h and 48h after administration.

Animals of control group showed Piloerection up to 5 hours after adminstration, animals of dose group showed Piloerection up to 72 hours after adminstration. There were no signs of toxicity after 72 hours.

The increase of body weight of dose group animals was affected by the treatment in the first week.

Dissection at the end of the experiment showed no findings.

Under the conditions of this study the acute toxicity after oral application is greater than 16000 mg/kg bw.

Additional information

Justification for classification or non-classification

Based on the results of the acute oral study and according to the criteria of EC Regulation 1272/2008 the test item has a very low acute toxicity if swallowed (LD50 (rat) > 16 g/kg bw). Therefore, the test substance must not be classified.
