Doses:

5000 mg/kg bw

No. of animals per sex per dose:

5

Control animals:

no

Details on study design:

LD50

Effect level:

> 5 000 mg/kg bw

Based on:

test mat.

Remarks on result:

other: no mortality observed

Mortality:

None

Clinical signs:

other: Anogenital area stained brown (two females during two days) Chrornodacryorrhea (each one male and one female during one day) Dyspnea (one male during two days) Ptosis (one female during one day) Chromorhinorrhea (one male during one day)

Gross pathology:

One animal had parts of the intestine with a yellow coloration.

Interpretation of results:

GHS criteria not met

Conclusions:

No mortality was observed at a single dose of 5000 mg/kg bw.

Endpoint conclusion

Endpoint conclusion:

no adverse effect observed

Dose descriptor:

discriminating dose

Value:

5 000 mg/kg bw

Acute toxicity: via inhalation route

Endpoint conclusion

Endpoint conclusion:

no study available

Acute toxicity: via dermal route

Link to relevant study records

Reference

Endpoint:

acute toxicity: dermal

Data waiving:

study scientifically not necessary / other information available

Justification for data waiving:

the study does not need to be conducted because the substance does not meet the criteria for classification as acute toxicity or STOT SE by the oral route and no systemic effects have been observed in in vivo studies with dermal exposure (e.g. skin irritation, skin sensitisation)

Endpoint conclusion

Endpoint conclusion:

no adverse effect observed

Additional information

The substance was tested in male and female Wistar rats for its acute oral toxicity at a limit dose of 5000 mg/kg bw. The study design is comparable to that of OECD testing guidelines for acute oral toxicity (ie 14 days observation period, recording of body weights, clinical signs and gross necropsy findings). Rats showed transient clinical signs. All animals survived the observation period.

Justification for classification or non-classification

Classification, Labelling, and Packaging Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008

The available experimental test data are reliable and suitable for classification purposes under Regulation 1272/2008. As a result the substance is not considered to be classified for acute oral or dermal or inhalation toxicity under Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008.
