Description of key information
Acute oral toxicity:
Acute oral toxicity dose (LD50) of test chemical was considered based on experimental study conducted on rats, the LD50 value was considered in between 300-2000 mg/kg bw in rats. Thus, comparing this range with the criteria of CLP regulation, the given test chemical can be classified in “Category 4” for acute oral toxicity.
Acute Inhalation toxicity:
The acute inhalation toxicity study need not be conducted because exposure to humans via inhalation route is not likely taking into account the low vapour pressure of the test substance, which is reported as 0.000000000796 mm Hg. Thus, exposure to inhalable dust, mist and vapour of the chemical is highly unlikely. Therefore this study is considered for waiver.
Acute Dermal Toxicity:
Acute Dermal toxicity dose (LD50) for target chemical was considered based on experimental study conducted on rats, the value was considered to be >2000 mg/kg bw in rats. Thus, comparing this value with the criteria of CLP regulation, the given test chemical cannot be classified for acute dermal toxicity.

- Executive summary:
Acute oral toxicity study of test chemical was conducted as per OECD No. 423 in rats. Nine female Wistar rats were selected for acute oral toxicity study. The animals were fasted for minimum 16-18 hours prior to dosing and for 3-4 hours post dosing, with food withheld but drinking water providedad libitum. The time intervals between dosing were determined by the onset, duration and severity of toxic signs. Three rats of first group were dosed with starting dose of 300 mg/kg body weight and the animals did not show any mortality so another three animals of the same group were dosed with 300 mg/kg body weight and no mortality was observed. Hence three rats of second group were dosed with 2000 mg/kg weight. All the rats at 2000mg/kg were found dead on day 0 post dosing. Hence, further dosing was stopped. Body weights were recorded on day 0 (prior to dosing), 7 and 14. Body weight gain was observed in all surviving animals treated with 300 mg/kg body weight, during the 14 day observation period, as compared to day 0. At 300 mg/kg, all the six animals were observed normal throughout the experiment period. At 2000 mg/kg, animal no. 7 was observed with mild tremors at 30 minutes, mild to moderate abdominal breathing at 30 minutes and 1 hour and sternal recumbency at 1 hour followed by found dead. Animal nos. 8 and 9 were observed with mild tremors, moderate abdominal breathing, sternal recumbency and moderate salivation at 30 minutes followed by found dead. No external gross pathological changes were seen in all the six animals treated with 300 mg/kg body weight during terminal sacrifice. At 2000 mg/kg, animal no. 7 was observed with no abnormalities, whereas animal nos. 8 and 9 were observed with wet around mouth. No internal gross pathological changes were seen in all the six animals treated with 300 mg/kg body weight during terminal sacrifice. At 2000 mg/kg, all three animals were observed with severe red discoloration of all lobes lungs and test item was observed in stomach and intestine. Under the conditions of this, acute oral toxicity dose LD50 value of test chemical was considered in between 300-2000 mg/kg body weight. Thus by considering the CLP criteria for acute toxicity rating for the chemicals, it infers that the given test chemical exhibits acute oral toxicity in “Category 4” LD50 >300 to ≤ 2000 mg/kg body weight.

- Executive summary:
Acute dermal toxicity study of given test chemical was performed as per OECD No.402 in rats. Five male and five female healthy young adult rats were randomly selected and used for conducting acute dermal toxicity study. Rats free from injury and irritation of skin were selected for the study. Twenty four hours prior to dermal application of test item, approximately 10% of body surface area of each rat was clipped. A limit dose of 2000 mg/ kg body weight of test item moistened with 0.2 ml distilled water was applied by single dermal application and observed for 14 days after treatment. On test day 0, an amount of test item moistened with 0.2 ml distilled water was applied directly on the intact skin of clipped area of rats; the porous gauze dressing was put on to the intact skin of clipped area. This porous gauze dressing was covered with a non-irritating tape. The dressing was wrapped around the abdomen and anchored with non-irritating adhesive tape.After the 24-hour application period, the dressings were removed and theskin was gently wiped with distilled water. The skin reactions were assessed. The animals were observed daily for mortality and clinical signs, during the acclimatization period. All animals were observed for clinical signs at approximately 1, 2, 3 and 4 hours after treatment on day 0 and once daily during test days 1‑14. Mortality was recorded after application on test day 0 and twice daily during days 1-14 (at least once on the day of sacrifice). Local signs / Skin reactions were observed daily from test days 1-14 (in common with clinical signs). Body weights were recorded on day 0 (prior to application) and on day 7 and 14. All animals were necropsied and examined macroscopically. No mortality was observed in any animal till the end of the experimental period. In males, animal nos. 1 and 2 were observed with vocalization at 1 hour, normal at 2, 3, 4 hours and on day 7 to 14, moderate to mild erythema on day 1 to 2 and mild scaling on day 3 to 6. Animal no. 3 was observed with vocalization at 1 hour, normal at 2, 3, 4 hours and on day 7 to 14, moderate to mild erythema on day 1 to 3 and mild to moderate scaling on day 3 to 6. Animal no. 4 was observed with vocalization at 1 hour, normal at 2, 3, 4 hours and on day 7 to 14, moderate to mild erythema on day 1 to 3 and mild scaling on day 3 to 6.Animal no. 5 was observed with vocalization at 1 hour, normal at 2, 3, 4 hours and on day 2 to 14 and mild erythema on day 1. In females, animal no. 6 was observed with vocalization at 1 hour, normal at 2, 3 and 4 hours, severe to moderate erythema on day 1 to 7 and scab from day 8 to 14. Animal nos. 7 and 9 were observed with vocalization at 1 hour, normal at 2, 3 and 4 hours, severe to moderate erythema on day 1 to 6 and scab from day 7 to 14. Animal no. 8 was observed with vocalization at 1 hour, normal at 2, 3 and 4 hours, severe to moderate erythema on day 1 to 8 and scab from day 8 to 14. Animal no. 10 was observed with vocalization at 1 hour, normal at 2, 3, 4 hours and on day 7 to 14, mild erythema on day 1 to 2 and mild scaling from day 3 to 6. In males, mean body weight gain was observed with on day 14, whereas decline in mean body weight gain was observed on day 7 as compared to day 0. In females, declined mean body weight gain was observed with on day 7 and 14 as compared to day 0. The external and internal gross pathological observation of all terminally sacrificed animals did not show any pathological abnormality, except animal nos. 6 to 9 were observed externally with scab formation. Under the conditions of this, the acute dermal median lethal dose of test chemical was considered to be >2000 mg/kg body weight. Thus by considering the CLP criteria for acute toxicity rating for the chemicals, it infers that the given test chemical does not exhibit acute dermal toxicity i.e it is acutely non toxic to animals.

Additional information
Acute oral toxicity:
Acute oral toxicity study of test chemical was conducted as per OECD No. 423 in rats. Nine female Wistar rats were selected for acute oral toxicity study. The animals were fasted for minimum 16-18 hours prior to dosing and for 3-4 hours post dosing, with food withheld but drinking water provided ad libitum. The time intervals between dosing were determined by the onset, duration and severity of toxic signs. Three rats of first group were dosed with starting dose of 300 mg/kg body weight and the animals did not show any mortality so another three animals of the same group were dosed with 300 mg/kg body weight and no mortality was observed. Hence three rats of second group were dosed with 2000 mg/kg weight. All the rats at 2000 mg/kg were found dead on day 0 post dosing. Hence, further dosing was stopped. Body weights were recorded on day 0 (prior to dosing), 7 and 14. Body weight gain was observed in all surviving animals treated with 300 mg/kg body weight, during the 14 day observation period, as compared to day 0. At 300 mg/kg, all the six animals were observed normal throughout the experiment period. At 2000 mg/kg, animal no. 7 was observed with mild tremors at 30 minutes, mild to moderate abdominal breathing at 30 minutes and 1 hour and sternal recumbency at 1 hour followed by found dead. Animal nos. 8 and 9 were observed with mild tremors, moderate abdominal breathing, sternal recumbency and moderate salivation at 30 minutes followed by found dead. No external gross pathological changes were seen in all the six animals treated with 300 mg/kg body weight during terminal sacrifice. At 2000 mg/kg, animal no. 7 was observed with no abnormalities, whereas animal nos. 8 and 9 were observed with wet around mouth. No internal gross pathological changes were seen in all the six animals treated with 300 mg/kg body weight during terminal sacrifice. At 2000 mg/kg, all three animals were observed with severe red discoloration of all lobes lungs and test item was observed in stomach and intestine. Under the conditions of this, all rats were died at 2000 mg/kg bw, hence the LD100 was considered to be 2000 mg/kg bw. Considering this value, the LD50 value can be assumed to be 1000 mg/kg bw. Therefore, comparing this value with the criteria of CLP regulation, the given test chemical can be classified in “Category 4 (300 – ≤ 2000)” for acute oral toxicity.
Acute Inhalation toxicity:
The acute inhalation toxicity study need not be conducted because exposure to humans via inhalation route is not likely taking into account the low vapour pressure of the test substance, which is reported as 0.000000000796 mm Hg. Thus, exposure to inhalable dust, mist and vapour of the chemical is highly unlikely. Therefore this study is considered for waiver.
Acute Dermal toxicity:
Acute dermal toxicity study of the given test chemical was performed as per OECD No.402 in rats. Five male and five female healthy young adult rats were randomly selected and used for conducting acute dermal toxicity study. Rats free from injury and irritation of skin were selected for the study. Twenty four hours prior to dermal application of test item, approximately 10% of body surface area of each rat was clipped. A limit dose of 2000 mg/ kg body weight of test item moistened with 0.2 ml distilled water was applied by single dermal application and observed for 14 days after treatment. On test day 0, an amount of test item moistened with 0.2 ml distilled water was applied directly on the intact skin of clipped area of rats; the porous gauze dressing was put on to the intact skin of clipped area. This porous gauze dressing was covered with a non-irritating tape. The dressing was wrapped around the abdomen and anchored with non-irritating adhesive tape. After the 24-hour application period, the dressings were removed and the skin was gently wiped with distilled water. The skin reactions were assessed. The animals were observed daily for mortality and clinical signs, during the acclimatization period. All animals were observed for clinical signs at approximately 1, 2, 3 and 4 hours after treatment on day 0 and once daily during test days 1‑14. Mortality was recorded after application on test day 0 and twice daily during days 1-14 (at least once on the day of sacrifice). Local signs / Skinreactions were observed daily from test days 1-14 (in common with clinical signs). Body weights were recorded on day 0 (prior to application) and on day 7 and 14. All animals were necropsied and examined macroscopically. No mortality was observed in any animal till the end of the experimental period. In males, animal nos. 1 and 2 were observed with vocalization at 1 hour, normal at 2, 3, 4 hours and on day 7 to 14, moderate to mild erythema on day 1 to 2 and mild scaling on day 3 to 6. Animal no. 3 was observed with vocalization at 1 hour, normal at 2, 3, 4 hours and on day 7 to 14, moderate to mild erythema on day 1 to 3 and mild to moderate scaling on day 3 to 6. Animal no. 4 was observed with vocalization at 1 hour, normal at 2, 3, 4 hours and on day 7 to 14, moderate to mild erythema on day 1 to 3 and mild scaling on day 3 to 6.Animal no. 5 was observed with vocalization at 1 hour, normal at 2, 3, 4 hours and on day 2 to 14 and mild erythema on day 1. In females, animal no. 6 was observed with vocalization at 1 hour, normal at 2, 3 and 4 hours, severe to moderate erythema on day 1 to 7 and scab from day 8 to 14. Animal nos. 7 and 9 were observed with vocalization at 1 hour, normal at 2, 3 and 4 hours, severe to moderate erythema on day 1 to 6 and scab from day 7 to 14. Animal no. 8 was observed with vocalization at 1 hour, normal at 2, 3 and 4 hours, severe to moderate erythema on day 1 to 8 and scab from day 8 to 14. Animal no. 10 was observed with vocalization at 1 hour, normal at 2, 3, 4 hours and on day 7 to 14, mild erythema on day 1 to 2 and mild scaling from day 3 to 6. In males, mean body weight gain was observed with on day 14, whereas decline in mean body weight gain was observed on day 7 as compared to day 0. In females, declined mean body weight gain was observed with on day 7 and 14 as compared to day 0. The external and internal gross pathological observation of all terminally sacrificed animals did not show any pathological abnormality, except animal nos. 6 to 9 were observed externally with scab formation. Under the conditions of this, the acute dermal median lethal dose of the given test chemical was considered to be >2000 mg/kg body weight. Thus by considering the CLP criteria for acute toxicity rating for the chemicals, it infers that the given test chemical does not exhibit acute dermal toxicity i.e. it is acutely non toxic to animals.
Justification for classification or non-classification
Based on the above experimental studies on test chemical, it can be concluded that LD50 value is between 300-2000 mg/kg bw, for acute oral toxicity and LD50 value is >2000 mg/kg bw for acute dermal toxicity. Thus, comparing these values with the criteria of CLP regulation, the given test chemical can be classified in “Category 4” for acute oral toxicity and cannot be classified for acute dermal toxicity.For acute inhalation toxicity wavier were added so, not possible to classify.
