Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
The LD50 of the test substance was determined to be 5700 mg/kg bw.
Executive summary:

In the non-GLP compliant but guideline similar acute oral toxicity test with rats the following doses were tested 3200, 4000, 5000, 6250 mg/kg bw. 10 Wistar rats were used per dose.

The animals were observed for 14 days and necropsy of survivors was performed. The rats experienced lethargy and slow respiration. The LD50 of the test substance was determined to be 5700 mg/kg bw.
