Additional information
According to column 2 (section 8.5) of REACH Regulation Annex VII the studies for acute toxicity can be waived as the test item causes severe skin burns and is classified as skin corrosive, cat. 1B according to Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008.
Because of this classification and because of animal welfare reasons no new studies have to be conducted. Already existing studies with the test item are available. The test item was tested in different compositions. Composition 1 contains 24 % active substance and 20 % acetic acid.
Acute oral toxicity
Weight of evidence
BASF SE 1978 (Report No. 77/126)
A study equivalent to OECD guideline 401 was carried out by giving the test item (CAS 71598-17-9) to 5 male and 5 female rats per dose. The test item (CAS 71598-17-9) was given in a mixture containing 24 % of the active substance and 20 % acetic acid. The composition was administered orally in a solution of distilled water and carboxymethyl cellulose at doses of 316, 464, 681, 1000, 1470, 2150 and 3160 mg/kg bw. The post-treatment observation period was 14 days. The following results were obtained:
Death and poor general state on the 1st day of the study; nonspecific signs; at the highest dose, narcotic-Iike state with absence of pain and corneal reflexes.
The body weight examination revealed no major changes.
Heart: Acute dilatation and acute passive hyperemia
Intestines: Slightly diarrheal contents
Urine: Slightly colored
Organs: No abnormalities
Mortality was observed at 681 mg/kg bw onwards. The LD50 was determined to be ca. 1150 mg/kg bw. With regard to the actual test item composition the median lethal dose was recalculated to ca. 493 mg/kg body weight based on the active ingredient.
Acute inhalation toxicity
BASF SE 1978 (Report No. 77/126)
In a guideline study equivalent to OECD guideline 403, 12 rats (sex unspecified) were used in a method described by HF. Smith and Carpenter: J. Ind. Hyg. Tox. 26, 269 (1944) to test the acute inhalation toxicity. The test item (CAS 71598-17-9) was a preparation containing 24 % active substance and 20 % acetic acid. The animals were exposed by inhalation of an atmosphere enriched with volatile components at 20 °C. After an exposure time of 7 h the animals showed slight irritation to the mucosa. The LC50 was determined to be > 14.78 mg/L air.
Acute toxicity: Other routes (intraperitoneal)
BASF SE 1978 (Report No. 77/126)
In a neither guideline nor GLP compliant study 5 male and 5 female mice per dose were used. The test item (CAS 71598-17-9) was applied intraperitoneally in doses of 46.4, 68.1, 100 and 147 mg/kg bw in a mixture of 24 % of the active substance and 20 % acetic acid. Carboxymethyl cellulose was used as vehicle. The post-treatment observation period lasted 14 days. The animals exhibited the following results: The adipose tissue was slightly colored. Mortality occurred from 46.4 mg/kg bw onwards. The LC50 was determined to be ca. 80 mg/kg bw.
Justification for classification or non-classification
The available experimental test data is reliable and suitable for classification purposes under Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008. Based on the results of the acute oral toxicity the substance is classified as acute oral toxicity cat. 4, H302: Harmful if swallowed for acute oral toxicity under Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008.
