Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
other: acute oral toxicity observed
Conclusions:
In this acute oral toxicity test in rats, no mortalities occured at a dose of 0.4 mL/kg bw. 3/5 males rats died at a dose of 0.62 mL/kg bw, wheareas all females suvived at this dose level. 5/5 males and 5/5 females died at doses of 1.0 and 1.6 mL/kg bw. Clinical signs included tremors, sedation, dacryohaemorhoea, prostration, slight salivation, a loss of righting reflex, dirty fur and apparent hypothermia. Necropsy revealed no abnormalities at any dose level. The LD50 value was calculated to be 0.75 mL/kg bw (corresponding to a dose of 951 mg/kg bw based on a density of 1.268 g/mL). Based on the results and according to EU classification criteria, the test substance has to be classified.
