Additional information

Acute Oral Toxicity  

In a standard acute oral toxicity study performed similarly to OECD TG 401, groups (5 male rats/dose) of young Wistar rats were administered the test substance (no data on purity) after a 24 h fasting period. The test substance was administered at doses of 1,250, 2,500, 5,000 and 10,000 mg/kg bw in water. Animals were subsequently observed (no data on duration of observation) and clinical signs of toxicity, body weight changes and cases of mortality were noted.

Deaths did not occur at any dose level. Hence the LD50 is higher than 10,000 mg/kg bw. There were no treatment related clinical signs of toxicity, necropsy findings or changes in body weight.

 

This study is suitable for assessment of acute oral toxicity as it was performed using a protocol which is similar and equivalent to the deleted OECD guideline (401). Because of the high doses applied that did not induce mortality in males it can be assumed that treatment of females would not have caused mortality, either. The documented weight changes indicate an adequate observation period duration.

 

Acute Dermal Toxicity

In an acute dermal toxicity study a group of 10 male Albino rabbits were dermally exposed to the test substance (no data on purity) in diethyl succinate for 24 hours at a limit dose of 5,000 mg/kg bw and observed (no data on duration of observation) after treatment. Death did not occur. Hence the LD50 is higher than 5,000 mg/kg bw. Except well-defined erythema as an irritating effect, there were no treatment related clinical signs of toxicity, necropsy findings or changes in body weight.

 

This study is suitable for assessment of acute dermal toxicity as it was performed using a protocol which is similar and equivalent to the OECD guideline. The weight gain of the animals indicates an adequate observation period, although the information on duration is lacking. Due to the high LD 50 it can be presumed, that no female would have died, either.

Justification for classification or non-classification

Dangerous Substance Directive (67/548/EEC)

The available experimental test data are considered reliable and suitable for the purpose of classification. Based on the criteria for classification of Directive 67/548/EEC, as amended for the 28th time in Directive 2001/59/EC, classification for acute toxicity is not warranted.

 

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

The available experimental test data are reliable and suitable for the purpose of classification. Based on the criteria laid down in Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008, as amended for the fifth time in Directive EC 944/2013, classification for acute toxicity is not warranted.
