The clinical signs and mortality observations were conducted at immediately (0 to 5 minutes), 5, 10, 30, 60 minutes, 2, 4 and 6 hours on the day of dosing and once daily thereafter for 14 day. Daily observation was done as far as possible at the same time.The observations were included general clinical signs, observations of eyes, mucous membranes, respiratory, circulatory system and behavior pattern.

Individual animal body weights were recorded, before fasting, prior to administration of the test item (fasting body weights), weekly thereafter and at termination on day 14. Weight changes were calculated and recorded.
Gross Pathology:
Necropsy was perfonned on all animals, found dead and sacrificed at the end of the study. Macroscopic examination of all the orifices, cavities and tissues were made and the findings were recorded. All animals surviving the study period were sacrificed by the carbon dioxide asphyxiation technique (day 15).

Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Interpretation of results:
- Category 4 based on GHS criteria
- Conclusions:
- Under the condition of the study, the acute oral LD50 of Diphenyl sulphide (CAS No. 139-66-2) was between 300 - 2000 mg/kg body weight. Thus, it was concluded that the acute toxicity study of Diphenyl sulphide (CAS No. 139-66-2), when administered via oral route in Sprague Dawley rats falls into the “Category- Acute toxicity class 4” criteria of CLP.
- Executive summary:
The study was conducted to determine the acute oral toxicity profile of Diphenyl sulphide (CAS No. 139-66-2) in Sprague Dawley rats. Initially, three female animals were treated at the dose level of 300 mg/kg body weight of the test item (Step - l). Administration of the test item at 300 mg/kg did not result in any signs of toxicity and mortality at 24 hours after the dosing. Three female animals were added to the study and treated with the same dose of 300 mg/kg of the test item (Step - ll).Administration of the test item at 300 mg/kg did not result in any signs of toxicity and mortality after the dosing. Additional three female animals were treated with the higher dose of 2000 mg/kg of the test item (Step - 1). Administration of the test item at 2000 mg/kg resulted in reduced locomotor activity, ataxic gait and convulsions with onset at 1 to 4 hours after the dosing. Three animals died at 6 hours after the dosing. All animals from 300 mg/kg dose group survived and exhibited normal body weight gain through the study period of 14 days.Gross pathological examination did not reveal any abnormalities in animals from 300 mg/kg and 2000 mg/kg dose groups.
It was concluded that the acute toxicity study of Diphenyl sulphide (CAS No. 139-66-2) , when administered via oral route in Sprague Dawley rats falls into the “Category 4 (> 300-2000)” criteria of Globally Harmonized System (GHS).
