Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
The oral LD50 in rats of Butanedioic acid, 2,3-dihydroxy-[R-(R*, R*)]-, C12-13-branched alkyl esters was greater than 5000 mg/kg bw.
Executive summary:

An acute oral toxicity test was carried out on a group of 10 rats (5 male and 5 female) using test material according to OECD guideline 401. The test material Butanedioic acid, 2,3-dihydroxy-[R-(R*, R*)]-, C12-13-branched alkyl esters was administered at a dose of 5000 mg/kg by using a stomach tube. There were no cases of mortality and no toxicological signs during the study. The LD50 was greater than 5000 mg/kg bw and the test material was found to be non-toxic under experimental conditions.
