Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
other: Not harmful
Remarks:
in accordance with EU CLP (EC no 1272/2008 and its amendments)
Conclusions:
The substance has an LD50 of > 2000 mg/kg bw in an OECD TG 423 test.
Executive summary:

The substance is tested in an acute toxic class method test (OECD TG 423, GLP) on a group of six female rats at a dose of 2000 mg/kg bw. No mortality occurred during the study, and no clinical signs related to the test item were observed durng the 14 -day observation period. Bodyweights were observed and remained normal, except for one animal. Macroscopy did not reveal any treatment related changes. The LD50 result in >2000 mg/kg bw.
