Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
other: not classified, according to the CLP Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008
Conclusions:
LD50 > 2000 mg/kg bw (males and females)
Executive summary:

The study was performed to assess the acute oral toxicity of the test material following a single oral administration in the Sprague-Dawley rat. The method followed the OECD Guideline 423 (adopted 22 March 1996), EU Commission Directive 96/54/EEC method B1. A group of three fasted females was treated with 2000 mg/kg bodyweight; this was followed by a group of three fasted animals of the other sex at the same dose level. The test material was administered orally as a suspension in arachis oil BP.

No deaths occurred and no signs of systemic toxicity were noted during the study. The faeces of the females were stained orange on day 1. Necropsy did not revealed abnormalities.

Conclusion

LD50 > 2000 mg/kg bw (males and females)
