Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.

The new ECHA CHEM database has been released by ECHA, and it now contains all REACH registration data. There are more details on the transition of ECHA's published data to ECHA CHEM here.

Administrative data

Endpoint:
acute toxicity: oral
Type of information:
experimental study
Adequacy of study:
key study
Study period:
1979
Reliability:
2 (reliable with restrictions)
Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
other: see 'Remark'
Remarks:
Test performed prior to the implementation of the current acknowledged testing and GLP guidelines. The test conducted however was in principle very similar to the OECD 401 adopted in 1981. Important aspects (e.g. 14 day-postobservation time) were considered. But short report, limited documentation, non-GLP, females only.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
not classified
Remarks:
Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
Conclusions:
The LD50 was >5.000 mg/kg bw after single oral gavage in female rats.
No classification for acute oral toxicity according to EC 1272/2008.
Executive summary:

Female Wistar-rats were subjected to test acute oral toxicity. The test substance was administered by gavage at a dose of 5000 mg/kg bw (25 % suspension in demineralized water). No animal died during the 14 day observation period, resulting in a LD50 >5000 mg/kg bw.
