Details on oral exposure:
MAXIMUM DOSE VOLUME APPLIED: 12.1 ml/kg bw
Doses:
2506, 5395, 11616 mg/kg bw (2.61, 5.62, 12.1 ml/kg bw)
No. of animals per sex per dose:
5
Control animals:
no
Details on study design:
- Duration of observation period following administration: 14 days (for 21 days for animal no. 6)
- Frequency of observations and weighing: The rats were observed for 4-8 h post-dose on day of appplication and once (clinical signs) or twice (mortality) daily thereafter. Body weights were obtained on the day of treatment and on day 7 and 14 (and 21 for animal 6).
- Necropsy of survivors performed: yes (major organ systems of the thoracic and abdominal cavities were examined for all animals)
- Histopathology of macroscopic findings was performed (fixation in formalin)

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
other: CLP/EU GHS criteria are not met, no classification required according to Regulations (EC) No 1272/2008
Conclusions:
In an acute oral toxicity study conducted according to OECD 401, a LD50 of 3657 mg/kg bw was derived in rats. In the low dose group 1/5 males and 0/5 females were found dead. Treatment with 5395 mg/kg bw led to 4/5 dead males and 2/5 dead females within day 1-2 and 1-4, respectively. All animals were found dead after treatment with 11616 mg/kg bw on days 1-2. In conclusion, a combined LD50 of 4580 mg/kg bw was calculated. The LD50 for males and females were 3657 and 6106 mg/kg bw, respectively.
