Administrative data
- Endpoint:
- acute toxicity: oral
- Type of information:
- read-across from supporting substance (structural analogue or surrogate)
- Adequacy of study:
- key study
- Reliability:
- 2 (reliable with restrictions)
- Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
- other: Study meets generally accepted scientific principles, acceptable for assessment.
- Justification for type of information:
- A discussion and report on the read across strategy is given as an attachment in IUCLID Section 13.

- Mortality:
- No mortality occurred in any test animal over the 14-day observation period.
- Clinical signs:
- other: Clinical observations noted one-hour post exposure in 8 of 10 animals included depression, salivation, wheezing, rough coat, and soft feces. Two female rats appeared normal throughout the study. All animals appeared normal from day 2 through termination
- Gross pathology:
- No abnormal gross pathology findings were noted in any of the animals upon necropsy.
- Interpretation of results:
- other: Not classified
- Remarks:
- Criteria used for interpretation of results: other: GHS, EU, 2007
- Conclusions:
- Based on the study design the test substance, Isooctane, needs not to be classified.
- Executive summary:
This data is being read across from the source study that tested 2,2,4-trimethylpentane based on analogue read across.
Based on the study design the test substance, Isooctane, needs not to be classified.
