Conclusions:
The LD50 is between 1000 -2000 mg/kg bw based on the results of this study.
Executive summary:

An acute oral toxicity study was performed pre-guideline and pre-GLP with rats of unknown sex. 10% of the test substance in water was administered to the rats in doses of 3.0, 2.0, 1.0 and 0.3 g/kg bw. The LD50 is between 1000 -2000 mg/kg bw based on the results of this study.

Principles of method if other than guideline:
Inhalation was via saturated atmosphere. Three rats per group were tested. In one group the bath temperature was 25°C and the animals were exposed for 8.0 hours. In the second group the bath temperature was 100°C and the animals were exposed for 7.0 hours.

Mortality:

Clinical signs:
other: No other effects were observed.
Other findings:
A strong ammoniacal odor was noticed at 100°C.
Interpretation of results:
study cannot be used for classification
Conclusions:
Acute exposure to the substance vapour for 8 hours (generated at a bath temperature of 25°C) or to substance fume for 7 hours (generated at a bath temperature of 100°C) did not induce toxic effects. No hazard is anticipated from the infrequent inhalation of substantially saturated vapour or fume at room temperature. The results of such a study, however, are not sufficient for classification for acute inhalation toxicity.
Executive summary:

Two groups of 3 rats each (of unknown sex) were exposed to the substance vapour or fume at room temperature. Inhalation was via saturated atmosphere. For one group the bath temperature was 25°C and the animals were exposed for 8.0 hours. For the second group the bath temperature was 100°C and the animals were exposed for 7.0 hours. No deaths were observed and no other effects. A strong ammoniacal odor was noticed.

Interpretation of results:
study cannot be used for classification
Conclusions:
Because necrosis was seen following treatment with the undiluted test substance, classification in Cat. 1 is assumed. Because of unknown exposure duration and unkown observation period etc., a definite classification is not possible.
Executive summary:

The eyes of rabbits were exposed to the test substance undiluted, and at 10% and 1% in water with and without washing the eyes. No further details on the methods. The undiluted test substance is corrosive to the eye and at 1% slight irritation is observed.

Interpretation of results:
study cannot be used for classification
Conclusions:
Because of the signs seen after 6 minutes, necrosis following treatment with the undiluted test substance, classification in Cat. 1 could be assumed. Because of unknown exposure duration and unkown observation period, classification in subcategories (1A, 1B, 1C) is not possible.
Executive summary:

The intact skin of belly or ears of rabbits were exposed to the test substance as undiluted, 10% and 1% in water. No further details on the methods. After 6 minutes exposure necrosis is seen.
