Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Interpretation of results:
- not classified
- Remarks:
- Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
- Conclusions:
- According to the study results the value of LD50 of the test substance, Slimes and Sludges, blast furnace and steelmaking, (in female rats) is higher than 2000 mg/kg of body weight.
- Executive summary:
The aim of the study was to investigate acute toxic effects of the test substance,Slimes and Sludges, blast furnace and steelmaking,after a single oral administration to Wistar rats.
The testing was performed according to the Method B.1 tris: Acute Oral Toxicity - Acute Toxic Class Method, Council Regulation (EC) No.440/2008, published in O.J. L 142, 2008.
The test substance wasadministered in a single dose as suspension in vehicle (olive oil), given orally via gavage to two groups of three female Wistar rats.
The dosing was performed sequentially in two groups of three females: group No. 1 - first step using the startingdose of 2000 mg/kgofbody weight and group No.2 - second step using the same dose.
The test substance administered at thedose of 2000 mg/kgcaused no death of animals.
Clinical signs of intoxication (gibbous posture) were observed 30 minutes after application and 3 hours after application clinical signs of intoxication (gibbous posture, piloerection, increased response to stimuli) were observed in all six animals. 24 hours after application all animals were without clinical symptoms.
No pathologic macroscopic changes were diagnosed during pathological examination.
According to the study results the value ofLD50of the test substance for female rats is higher than 2000 mg/kg of body weight.
The classification of the test substance toxicity was performed according to the Directive 67/548/EEC, Annex VI. part 3.1.5. and 3.2.
Based on the test results and according to the EC criteria for classification and labelling requirements for dangerous substances and preparations the test substanceSlimes and Sludges, blast furnace and steelmaking did not fallinto any of quoted categories of toxicityandhasno obligatory labelling requirementin this respect.
