Details on test animals or test system and environmental conditions:

TEST ANIMALS

- Age at study initiation: 7 weeks
- Weight at study initiation: 220 g (males) and 166 g (females)
- Diet (e.g. ad libitum): Dakes special diet added with Vitamin E ad libitum
- Water (e.g. ad libitum): water was available at all times

ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS
- Temperature (°C): 21°C (+/- 2°C)
- Photoperiod (hrs dark / hrs light): 12 hours artificial light and 12 hours darkness in each 24 hour period.

Administration / exposure

Route of administration:

oral: gavage

Vehicle:

water

Details on oral exposure:

After administration of the compound, the animals were observed for 14 days. Deaths and clinical symptoms were recorded. At the end of the observation period, surviving animals were killed by exsanguination under ether anaesthesia and an autopsy performed.

Doses:

A 25 % w/v solution of the compound in tap water was administered as a single dose by gavage to rats which had been fasted for 18 hours, at a rate of 20 ml/kg. (equivalent to 5 g/kg of compound).

No. of animals per sex per dose:

Ten rats (5 M + 5 F) were used for the study.

Control animals:

no

Details on study design:

None

Statistics:

None

Clinical signs:

other: No clinical symptoms were recorded and no deaths occurred during the 14-day observation period.

Gross pathology:

At autopsy no changes in organs or tissues caused by the administration of the test compound were seen.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:

other: Not classified as toxic according to the CLP Regulation (EC) No.1272/2008

Conclusions:

The acute oral median lethal dose (LD50) of the substance in rats is greater than 5000 mg/kg body weight.

Executive summary:

The test was performed to determine the acute oral toxicity of the substance according to the equivalent or similar OECD guideline 401 (Acute Oral Toxicity). It was tested on rats which were 6 to 7 weeks old and weighed about 166 to 220 g. No clinical symptoms were recorded and no deaths occurred during the 14 day observation period. At autopsy no changes in organs or tissues caused by the administration of the test compound were seen. In conclusion, the acute oral LD50 of the substance in rats of both sexes, observed over a period of 14 days is greater than 5000 mg/kg.
