Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
not classified
Remarks:
Migrated informationCriteria used for interpretation of results: EU
Conclusions:
In acute toxicity study by oral route the LD50 value for the Brilliant Black PN was found to be >2000 mg/kg for mice.
Executive summary:

Acute toxicity test was performed on mice at concentration of 2000 mg/kg and observed for 14 days.10 mice/sex were used. The LD50values with 95 % confidence limits were calculated according to Litchfield & Wilcoxon. No toxic signs or deaths were observed during study.

 

Therefore, the LD 50 value of Brilliant Black PN was found to be >2000 mg/kg for mice.
