Any other information on results incl. tables

No deaths occurred as well as no deviations in weight development. Moreover, application of 2000 mg/kg was tolerated without any compound-related clinical or macroscopic pathological signs.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
the test item is of low acute oral toxicity
Executive summary:

The single oral administration of the test substance (ZK 12126) to male and female rats at a dose of 2000 mg/kg was tolerated without any mortality and compound-related clinical or macroscopic pathological signs. Therefore, the acute oral toxicity of 1,2 -Methylene-4,6-dien in rats is above 2000 mg/kg body weight.
