The test item was applied to the abraded abdominal skin. The test site was then covered by a semi-occlusive dressing for 24 h. Animals were then observed for mortality, clinical signs and bodyweights for 7 days and were all sacrificed for macroscopic examination.
No mortality or clinical signs was observed. Slight to moderate erythema and edema were noticed throughout the observation period. Body weight evolution of the animals remained normal throughout the study. No abnormalities were noted at necropsy. The dermal LD50 of test item was considered to be higher than 5000 mg/kg bw in rabbits.
Under the test conditions, the dermal LD50 of test item is higher than 5000 mg/kg bw in rabbits therefore it is not classified according to the Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008 and to the GHS.

- Dose descriptor:
- LD50
- Value:

Additional information
Acute toxicity: oral
Two studies were available on the substance. The two studies were not sufficiently reliable as such (Klimisch = 4) but were considered sufficiently reliable in a weight of evidence for the purpose of hazard assessment.
In the first study (Jenner, 1964, rel. 4), the combined rat LD50 was calculated to be 1670 mg/kg [1265 -2200 mg/kg bw]. Deaths occurred between four hours and two days and clinical signs were reported to be rough fur and depression. The test item was a liquid and was administered undiluted, but no attempt was made to secure chemically pure compounds.
In the second study (Toxicological ressources, 1972, rel. 4), the male rat LD50 was calculated to be 2600 mg/kg bw. Animals experienced ataxia, loss of righting reflex and slow respiration. Deaths occurred overnight to three days following administration of the test item. Mortality was observed in 0/10, 1/10, 6/10 and 10/10 at 1600, 2020, 2560 and 3200 mg/kg bw, respectively. The test item was a powder and was administered as a 30% slurry in water.
As a worst-case, the lowest LD50 was taken as the key value for this endpoint.
Acute toxicity: dermal
A key study was identified (Toxicological ressources, 1972, rel.2). In this acute dermal toxicity study performed pre-GLP and pre-OECD, but conducted similarly to OECD Test Guideline No 402, a group of New Zealand white rabbits (10 animals/dose) were given a single dermal application of the test item at 5000 mg/kg bw on the abraded abdominal skin. The test site was then covered by a semi-occlusive dressing for 24 h. Animals were then observed for mortality, clinical signs and bodyweights for 7 days and were all sacrificed for macroscopic examination.
No mortality or clinical signs was observed. Slight to moderate erythema and edema were noticed throughout the observation period. Body weight evolution of the animals remained normal throughout the study. No abnormalities were noted at necropsy.
The dermal LD50 of test item was considered to be higher than 5000 mg/kg bw in rabbits.
Justification for classification or non-classification
Harmonized classification:
The substance has no harmonized classification according to the Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008.
Self-classification:
Acute toxicity via Oral route:
Based on the available data, as a worst-case, the substance is classified in Category 4 (H302: Harmful if swallowed) according to the Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008 and of the GHS as the LD50 is 1670 mg/kg bw (300 < LD50 < 2000 mg/kg bw).
Acute toxicity via Dermal route:
Based on the available data, the substance is not classified according to the Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008 and of the GHS as the LD50 is above 5000 mg/kg bw.
Acute toxicity (Inhalation):
No data was available
Specific target organ toxicity: single exposure (Oral):
The classification criteria according to the Annex VI of the Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008 as specific target organ toxicant (STOT) – single exposure, oral are not met since no reversible or irreversible adverse health effects were observed immediately or delayed after exposure and no effects were observed at the guidance value (oral) for a Category 1 classification (C≤ 300 mg/kg bw) and at the guidance value (oral) for a Category 2 classification (2000 mg/kg bw≥C > 300 mg/kg bw). No classification is required.
The criteria for Transient Organ effects (STOT-SE Category 3) according to Annex VI of the Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008 are not met since narcotic effects were not observed in the acute oral toxicity study.
Specific target organ toxicity: single exposure (Dermal):
The classification criteria according to the Annex VI of the Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008 as specific target organ toxicant (STOT) – single exposure, dermal are not met since no reversible or irreversible adverse health effects were observed immediately or delayed after exposure and no effects were observed at the guidance value (dermal) for a Category 1 classification (C≤ 1000 mg/kg bw) and at the guidance value (dermal) for a Category 2 classification (2000 mg/kg bw≥C > 1000 mg/kg bw). No classification is required.
The criteria for Transient Organ effects (STOT-SE Category 3) according to Annex VI of the Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008 are not met since narcotic effects were not observed in the acute dermal toxicity study.
Specific target organ toxicity: single exposure (Inhalation):
No data was available
