Executive summary:

In an acute oral toxicity study performed according to OECD TG 423 a single oral dose of 2000 mg/kg bw was tolerated withouth mortalities, clinical signs, effects on weight gain and gross pathological findings. Thus, the LD50 was determined for the substance with > 2000 mg/kg bw.

TREATMENT
The liquid test substance was applied pure. Dosing with 2000 mg/kg bw was based on the active ingredient content of 45.5% in water, the body weight of the animals and the surface area on which the test substance was applied.
Treatment area: 30 cm²
TEST SITE
One day before the start of the treatment the back and flanks of the rats were shorn (approximately 10% of the body surface area). For each dose and animal the required amount of the pure liquid test substance was calculated on the base of the body weight at time of dosing. This amount was weighed and applied as uniformly and thinly as possible to the test area, covered with a gauze-layer (6.0 cm x 5.0 cm = 30.0 cm²) of a "Cutiplast steril" coated with air-tight "Leukoflex". The gauze strip was placed on the rat's back and secured with a "Lomir biomedical Inc rat jacket", which was connected with a safety pin to the stretch tape to ensure that the animals could not ingest the test substance.

REMOVAL OF TEST SUBSTANCE
After approximately 24 hours the dressings were removed and the area was rinsed with tepid water using soap and gently patting the area dry.
Duration of exposure:
24 hours
Doses:
Limit dose of 2000 mg/kg bw ; according to 18.8 to 19.6 mg active ingredient/cm² for male rats and 16.3 to 17.1 mg active ingredient/cm² for female rats.
No. of animals per sex per dose:
5
Control animals:
no
Details on study design:
- Duration of observation period following administration: at least 14 days
- Frequency of observations: once daily
- Frequency of weight determination: once weekly
- Necropsy of survivors performed: yes
Statistics:
none; limit dose test
Sex:

Dose descriptor:
LD50
Effect level:

Based on:
act. ingr.
Remarks on result:
other: no mortalities, clinical signs, toxicological effects on weight development and gross pathological findings
Mortality:
No mortalities occured.
Clinical signs:
other: none
Gross pathology:
The necropsies performed at the end of the study revealed no particular findings.
Interpretation of results:
not classified
Remarks:
Migrated information
Executive summary:

In an acute dermal toxicity study on rats performed according to OECD TG 402 2000 mg/kg bw of the substance were applied to the skin of 5 male and 5 female rats for 24 hours. The test substance was tolerated by the animals without mortalities, clinical signs, toxicological effects on weight development and gross pathological findings. The resulting dermal LD50 was determined with > 2000 mg/kg bw.

Endpoint conclusion
Endpoint conclusion:
no adverse effect observed
Dose descriptor:
discriminating dose
Value:
2 000 mg/kg bw
Quality of whole database:
The study is GLP compliant and has Klimisch score 1.

Additional information

Based on the available information the acute toxicity of AAS is low for the oral and dermal route of administration. No data are available for acute inhalation toxicity. There is no reason to believe that the low acute toxicity observed in experimental animals would not be relevant for human health.


Justification for selection of acute toxicity – oral endpoint
only one study avialable

Justification for selection of acute toxicity – dermal endpoint
only one study avialable

Justification for classification or non-classification

Based on the available data and in accordance with Regulation (EC) 1272/2008 the substance is not classified for acute toxicity.
