Additional information

VIA ORAL ROUTE:

KEY: Acute oral toxicity (Ferro, 1993)

In an acute oral toxicity study performed according to OECD 401, a fixed concentration of 2000 mg/kg bw of Pigment Violet 3 PTM was administered by gavage to five fasted Sprague-Dawley rats each. The following test substance-related clinical observations were recorded, clinical signs occurred within the first 14 days after administration:

2000 mg/kg: No mortality in all animals; good general state in all animals;

Dark blue-coloured liquid discharged from the anus was noted in all animals four hours after dosing. Dark blue-coloured staining of the fur was commonly noted. All animals recovered one day after dosing. All animals showed expected gain in bodyweight during the study except for one male which showed a reduced gain in bodyweight during the second week. No abnormalities in macroscopic pathological findings.

The acute oral LD50 was calculated to be LD50, oral, rat > 2000 mg/kg bw.

SUPPORTING: Acute oral toxicity (BASF, 1980)

In an acute oral toxicity study (equivalent or simlar to the method described in OECD guideline 401) five male and 5 female Sprague-Dawley rats were exposed per gavage the read-across substance Similar Substance 01 at 2150 and 5000 mg/kg bw. The animals were observed for clinical signs and mortality during a 14-day post-exposure observation period. No mortality occured. Under the conditions of the test the LD50 in male and female rats after oral application was > 5000 mg/kg bw.

SUPPORTING: Acute oral toxicity (BASF, 1975)

In an acute oral toxicity study (equivalent or simlar to the method described in OECD guideline 401) five male and 5 female Sprague-Dawley rats were exposed via to the read-across substance Similar Substance 02 at 3200, 6400 or 10000 mg/kg bw. The animals were observed for clinical signs and mortality during a 14-day post-exposure observation period. No mortality occured in the 3200 mg/kg bw dose group. At 6400 and 10000 mg/kg bw 4 of 10 and 5 of 10 animals died, respectively. Clinical signs comprised dyspnoea, violet discolored skin and faeces, partially diarrhoea, apathy, and slight atonia. During necropsy, acute cardiac dilation with congestive hyperemia, diarrheal intestinal contents, stomach dilation, and slightly stained organs were observed in animlas that died. Under the conditions of this study the LD50 in male and female rats after oral application was determined to be ca. 10000 mg/kg bw.

VIA INHALATION ROUTE: 

WOE: Acute inhalation toxicity (BASF, 1980)

Six male and six female Sprague-Dawley rats were exposed for seven hours to the read-across substance Similar Substance 01 at a calculated saturated concentrations of 6.51 mg/L air. All animals were observed for clinical signs and mortality during the inhalation exposure. Body weights were recorded prior to exposure on test day 1. After 7h all surviving animals were sacrificed and necropsied.

No mortality and no clinical signs of toxicity after exposure to the test item were detected. No abnormalities in macroscopic pathological findings.

Thus, the LC0, inhalation (aerosol), rat was determined to be > 6.51 mg/L air.

WOE: Acute inhalation toxicity (BASF, 1975)

Six male and six female rats (strain not specified) were exposed for eight hours to the read-across substance Similar Substance 02 at a calculated saturated concentrations of 7.53 mg/L air. All animals were observed for clinical signs and mortality during the inhalation exposure. Body weights were recorded prior to exposure on test day 1. After 8h all surviving animals were sacrificed and necropsied.

No mortality and no clinical signs of toxicity after exposure to the test item were detected. No abnormalities in macroscopic pathological findings.

Thus, the LC0, inhalation (aerosol), rat was determined to be > 7.53 mg/L air.

VIA DERMAL ROUTE:

KEY: Acute dermal toxicity (BASF, 1975)

In an acute dermal toxicity study 5 male and 5 female young adult Sprague-Dawley rats were dermally exposed to a single dose of 2500 mg/kg bw of the read-across substance Similar Substance 02 (as suspension in water) to the clipped skin (dorsal) for 24 hours. The application area was 50 cm². The animals were observed for 14 days. The following test substance-related clinical observations were recorded:

No mortality and no clinical signs of toxicity after exposure to the test item were detected. No abnormalities in macroscopic pathological findings. Purple remains of the test substance were observed throughout the study period.

Thus, the LD0, dermal, rat was determined to be > 2500 mg/kg bw.

Justification for classification or non-classification

Classification, Labelling, and Packaging Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008
The available experimental test data are reliable and suitable for classification purposes under Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008.

The acute oral LD50 was determined to be greater than 2000 mg/kg bw. As a result the substance is not classified and labelled as acute toxic under Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008, as amended for the tenth time in Regulation (EU) No 2017/776.

The acute inhalation LC50 was determined to be greater than 6.51 mg/L after 8h exposure in saturated air. As no higher concentrations can be measured due to saturation, the substance is not classified and labelled as acute toxic under Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008, as amended for the tenth time in Regulation (EU) No 2017/776.

 

The acute dermal LD50 was determined to be greater than 2500 mg/kg bw. As a result the substance is not classified and labelled as acute toxic under Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008, as amended for the tenth time in Regulation (EU) No 2017/776.
