- No. of animals per sex per dose:
- 3
- Control animals:

- Details on study design:
- - Duration of observation period following administration: 14 days
- Frequency of Clinical Observations: Clinical observations were performed once during the first 30 minutes and at approximately 1, 2 and 4 hours after application approximately, and then once each day for up to 14 days. General observations were made once daily for the animals which have not been administrated with the test item.
- Necropsy of survivors performed: yes, animals surviving to the end of the study were anesthetized by CO2 and bled by abdominal aorta to death. A gross necropsy was performed on all animals under test. The necropsy included carefully eye examinations of the abdominal, thoracic organs and their contents of all animals.
- Other examinations performed:

Additional information
Acute oral toxicity:
The study was performed to assess the acute oral toxicity of the test item in Sprague Dawley rats according to OECD Guideline 423 (Acute Oral toxicity - Acute Toxic Class Method).
The test item was tested using a stepwise procedure and three female animals were used each group. The first step dosing was 300 mg/kg b.w.. Clinical observations and body weights were monitored during the study. All animals under test were subjected to a gross necropsy at the end of the study.
Dose Level (300 mg/kg b.w.) for the first time dosing: All animals didn't show any abnormal symptoms at the 0.5, 1, 2 and 4 hours approximately after dosing. The Mortality is 0/3.
Dose Level (2000 mg/kg b.w.) for the second dosing: All animals didn't show any abnormal symptoms at the 0.5, 1, 2 and 4 hours approximately after dosing. The Mortality is 3/3.
Dose Level (300 mg/kg b.w.) for the third dosing: All animals didn't show any abnormal symptoms at the 0.5, 1 and 2 hours after dosing. At the 4 hours after dosing, animal 2302 died and animal 2301 showed low autogenic movement until died at the 5 hours after dosing. The Mortality is 2/3.
Dose Level (50 mg/kg b.w.) for the fourth dosing: All animals didn't show any abnormal symptoms at the 0.5, 1, 2 and 4 hours approximately after dosing. The Mortality is 0/3.
Dose Level (50 mg/kg b.w.) for the fifth dosing: All animals didn't show any abnormal symptoms at the 0.5, 1, 2 and 4 hours approximately after dosing. The Mortality is 0/3.
Based on above results, the acute oral LD50 cut off in rats for the test item was 300 mg/kg b.w..
Acute dermal toxicity:
The study was performed to assess the acute dermal toxicity of VEC in Sprague Dawley rats. The method was designed to meet the OECD Guideline 402 under GLP.
The acute dermal LD50 in rats for VEC was estimated to be more than 2000 mg/kg b.w. in female SD rats.
Justification for classification or non-classification
Oral: 50 mg/kg bodyweight < LD50 ≤ 300 mg/kg bodyweight (actual LD50 value: 50 - 300 mg/kg bodyweight);
Dermal: LD50 > 2000 mg/kg bodyweight.
Therefore in accordance with Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008 (amended by 286/2011) Table 3.1.1, this substance should be classified as category 3 for Acute oral endpoint, and should not be classified for Acute dermal endpoint.
Specific target organ toxicity-single exposure:
No significant non-lethal toxic effects observed in acute oral and dermal toxicity study.
Therefore in accordance with Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008 Table 3.8.1, this substance should not be classified for this endpoint.
