Adequacy of study:

key study

Study period:

1975; date not specified.

Reliability:

2 (reliable with restrictions)

Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:

other: Non GLP, not carried out according to recognised guideline, although results documented.

Materials and methods

Test guideline

Qualifier:

no guideline followed

Guideline:

other: Standard Federal Hazardous Substances Labeling Act tests

Deviations:

yes

Remarks:

Because of the expected low toxicity, one high dose level was used, and the LD50 and LC50's are reported as >(greater than) or <( less than) this value.

Principles of method if other than guideline:

Ten young adult albino rats (Wistar derived) weighing between 200 -300 grams equally distributed into five males and five females were housed in mesh-bottom cages and fasted 24 hours prior to administering a single dose of 20,000 mg/kg of the test material. Food and water were available ad libitum after dosage. The animals were observed daily for 14 days following administration of the test material, and deaths were recorded.

GLP compliance:

no

Test type:

standard acute method

Limit test:

yes

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:

practically nontoxic

Remarks:

Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: expert judgment

Conclusions:

This product has low acute toxicity.

Executive summary:

Kronitex TCP was tested for acute oral toxicity and LD50 was found to be > 20,000 mg/kg body weight. This product is therefore considered to have a low acute toxicity.
