The test material was administered as a single oral dose to female Wistar rats, the Acute Toxic Class (ATC) method was used. A limit dose of 2000 mg/kg body weight was used as a starting dose.

The test material administered to 6 females at a limit dose did not cause death. Piloerection and dyspnoea were observed during the observation period. A decrease of body weights in 3/6 animals and stagnation of body weight in one animal were observed between the first and second week after administration of the test item. During necropsy, increased amount of gas in gastrointestinal tract, microsplenia and atrophy of thymus were registered.

Under the conditions of the study, the acute oral LD50 of the test material in the female Wistar strain rat is greater than 2000 mg/kg body weight.

Acute Dermal Toxicity

The acute dermal toxicity of the test material was determined in accordance with the standardised guideline OECD 402, under GLP conditions. The study was awarded a reliability score of 1 in accordance with the criteria set forth by Klimisch et al. (1997).

The test material was applied as a single dermal dose to Wistar rats. A limit dose of 2000 mg/kg body weight was used as the starting dose. One female was dosed. Test material-related mortality was not observed during 48 hours. A total of three female rats were dosed with a limit dose of 2000 mg/kg body weight.

The body weight of 2/3 females increased during the study, stagnation of body weight in one female was noticed. No signs of toxicity were observed at the dosage of 2000 mg/kg body weight during the first 4 hours or 14-day observation period. No dermal changes were observed. During necropsy no macroscopic findings were noticed.

Under the conditions of this study, the LD50 of the test material is greater than 2000 mg/kg body weight.

Acute Inhalation Toxicity

In accordance with column 2 of section 8.5.2 of REACH, the acute toxicity by inhalation study has been omitted as scientifically unjustified on the grounds that inhalation exposure to the substance is unlikely under normal conditions of use. The acute toxicity of the substance has been determined adequately by the oral and dermal routes.

Justification for classification or non-classification

In accordance with the criteria for classification as defined in Annex I, Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008, the substance does not require classification with respect to acute toxicity via the oral or dermal routes.
