Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
not classified
Remarks:
Migrated information according to CLP-criteria for acut oral toxicity Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
Conclusions:
In the acute oral toxicity study cyanoses was observed in male and female rats already at dose levels below 2000 mg/kg bw. Based on this clinical observation, the fact that the substance belongs to the group of aromatic amines known to cause methemoglobinemia and that humans are generally more sensitive than rodents regarding this effect, a classification as STOT SE2, H371 is justified according to Regulation 1272/2008/EC.

The LD50 value for acute oral toxicity is 3670 mg/kg bw in male Wistar rats and 2220 mg/kg bw in female Wistar rats.
