Control animals:
no
Details on study design:
- Duration of observation period following administration: 15 days
- Frequency of observations and weighing: All rats were weighed before treatment, and on days 2, 4, 6, 8, 11, 13, and 15 of the study. The behaviour and general condition of all rats were monitored for at least 6 hours after the administration and then checked daily.

Dose descriptor:
LD50
Effect level:
> 2 000 mg/kg bw
Based on:
test mat.
Mortality:
None.
Clinical signs:
other: Only pale feces were observed in all animals on day 2 of the study. Otherwise no signs of intoxication occurred after treatment.
Gross pathology:
No organ alterations were seen.
Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
The LD50 value of the test item for males and females, after an observation period of 15 days, was determined to be > 2000 mg/kg bw according to OECD Guideline 401.
Executive summary:

The test material was tested for acute toxicity in rats after oral administration of 2000 mg/kg bw according to OECD Guideline 401. Only pale feces on day 2 of the study were observed after treatment. No signs of intoxication occurred. Thus, the study was perforemd as limit test. The gross pathological examination revealed no organ alterations.

The lethal dose (LD50) for males and females, after an observation period of 15 days, was determined to be greater than 2000 mg/kg bw.
