Description of key information
The substance was orally administered by means of a feed admix to Fü SPF albino rats of both sexes at daily dose levels of 50, 200, and 800 mg per kg bw for a period of 13 consecutive weeks. Animals of a control group received the normal rat maintenance diet without test article. All test groups comprised 10 males and 10 females. Mortality, clinical signs, body weights, feed intake, and water consumption were recorded. The NOAEL was 800 mg/kg bw/day, the highest dose tested.

The following organs dissected free from fat and other contiguous tissue were weighed from all sacrificed animals (wet weight; paired organs = weight of both organs together): brain, liver, kidneys, testes, ovaries, heart (without auricles), adrenals. The relative organ weights were calculated on the basis of the body weights of day 91.

- Executive summary:
The test article was orally administered by means of a feed admix to Fü SPF albino rats of both sexes at daily dose levels of 50, 200, and 800 mg per kg bw for a period of 13 consecutive weeks. Animals of a control group received the normal rat maintenance diet without test article. All test groups comprised 10 males and 10 females. Mortality, clinical signs, body weights, feed intake, and water consumption were recorded. Eyes were examined. Haematology and biochemistry determinations were performed. All rats were autopsied and organs were weighed. Organs and tissues of the control and the high dosed rats were histopathologically examined.
No deaths related to treatment occured throughout the test period. The treatment with the test substance up to 800 mg/kg bw/day was well and asymptomatically tolerated. There were no adverse effects on body weight development and feed consumption. Slightly decreased PCV (packed cell volume) and RBC (erythrocyte count) values were considered to be a result of an increasing thirst effect of the test substance. Ophthalmoscopy, biochemistry, organ weighing, macroscopic and microscopic examination did not reveal undesired/ toxicological related effects. Thus, a NOAEL value of 800 mg/kg bw/day was concluded.
Reference
- The test substance is a potassium salt and caused a slightly increased water consumption (compared were amimals of the control group with those of group the 800 mg/kg bw/day dose group only). PCV (packed cell volume) and RBC (red bllod cell count) values were slightly decreased in all male dose groups as well as in the female high dose group as a result of the increased water intake. These hamatologic changes were not considered to be of toxicological importance.
Endpoint conclusion

Additional information
Repeated dose toxicity: oral
The test article was orally administered by means of a feed admix to Fü SPF albino rats of both sexes at daily dose levels of 50, 200, and 800 mg per kg bw for a period of 13 consecutive weeks. Animals of a control group received the normal rat maintenance diet without test article. All test groups comprised 10 males and 10 females. Mortality, clinical signs, body weights, feed intake, and water consumption were recorded. Eyes were examined. Haematology and biochemistry determinations were performed. All rats were autopsied and organs were weighed. Organs and tissues of the control and the high dosed rats were histopathologically examined.
No deaths related to treatment occured throughout the test period. The treatment with the test substance up to 800 mg/kg bw/day was well and asymptomatically tolerated. There were no adverse effects on body weight development and feed consumption. Slightly decreased PCV (packed cell volume) and RBC (erythrocyte count) values were considered to be a result of an increasing thirst effect of the test substance. Ophthalmoscopy, biochemistry, organ weighing, macroscopic and microscopic examination did not reveal undesired/ toxicological related effects. Thus, a NOAEL value of 800 mg/kg bw/day was concluded.
Repeated dose toxicity: dermal
In accordance with REACH Annex IX, column 2, a subchronic dermal repeated dose toxicity study (section 8.6.2) is not required as a repeated dose oral study is available. Available information on acute toxicity (dermal), as well as oral repeated dose toxicity together with toxicokinetic/ absorption findings indicate a lower dermal absorption (10 % ) compared to oral absorption (50 % in the GIT) (see section 7.1). Consequently, the repeated dose toxicity was adequately adressed by the oral route (see section 7.5.1), allowing evaluation of systemic toxic effects after dermal exposure.
Repeated dose toxicity: inhalation
In accordance with REACH Annex IX, column 2,
a subchronic inhalation repeated dose toxicity study (section 8.6.2) is
not required, as information on subchronic oral toxicity is available
and performed by the exposure route which is considered as most
appropriate route of exposure. Exposure to humans through the inhalation
route is not likely, taking in account the nature of the substance. The
vapour pressure of potassium hexadecyl hydrogen phosphate is very low
(2.89 E-3 Pa at 25°C) based on a vapour pressure study (see section 4.6
). Further, exposure to potassium hexadecyl hydrogen phosphate via
inhalation is not likely as particles are not inhalable (L50 = 213 µm)
based on the results of a granulometry study (see section 4.5). Thus,
further testing is not required.
Justification for classification or non-classification
Based on the results and considerations detailed above, the substance is not subjected to classification and labelling for repeated dose toxicity according to Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008, as amended for the twelfth time in Regulation (EU) 2019/521.
