Additional information

Oral

 A GLP conform study was performed to assess the acute toxicity following oral administration of the test substance in albino rats (Tif: RAI f) according to OECD guideline 401 (1989). To a group of ten fasted animals (five males and five females) a single oral dose of the test material preparation (dose volume: 10 ml/kg bw) in 0.5% (w/v) carboxymethylcellulose in 0.1 % (w/v) aqueous polysorbate 80 at a dose level of 2000 mg/kg body weight was given. Piloerection, hunched posture, exophthalmos, and dyspnea were seen, being unspecific symptoms in acute tests. The animals recovered within 5 to 6 days. The expected body weight gain was observed in the course of the study. No mortality occurred in this study. At autopsy, no deviations from normal morphology were found. Under the conditions of this study the median lethal dose of the test substance after oral application was found to be greater than 2000 mg/kg body weight for the male and female animals.

Dermal

A GLP conform study was performed to assess the acute toxicity following dermal administration of the test substance in albino rats (Tif: RAI f) according to OECD guideline 402 (CIBA-Geigy, 1989). To a group of ten animals (five males and five females) a single dermal dose of the test material preparation (dose volume: 2 ml/kg bw) was given undiluted at a dose level of 2000 mg/kg body weight. Piloerection, abnormal body positions, and dyspnea were seen, being unspecific symptoms in acute dermal tests. The animals recovered within 5 days. The expected body weight gain was observed in the course of the study. No mortality occurred. At autopsy, no deviations from normal morphology were found. Under the conditions of this study the median lethal dose of the test substance after oral application was found to be greater than 2000 mg/kg body weight for the male and female animals.

Justification for classification or non-classification

Classification, Labelling, and Packaging Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008
The available experimental test data are reliable and suitable for classification purposes under Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008. LD50 for acute oral toxicity was greater than 2000 mg/kg bw. As a result the substance is not considered to be classified for acute toxicity under Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008.
