Additional information
Acute oral toxicity:
The acute oral toxicity of the test substance was investigated in a study according to OECD 401. One group of 5 male and 5 female rats of the WISW-strain was used. Based on a range finding study, one limit dose of 5000 µL/kg bw undiluted test substance (corresponding to 4165 mg/kg bw) was applied by gavage. Any signs of reaction and mortalities were recorded during the 14-day observation period, animals which died and those killed terminally were subjected to necropsy. The test substance did not induce clinical-toxicological symptoms. Post -dosing body weight gains (2 week values) of all animals did not show essential differences. No mortalities were observed. No changes were observed in the animals necropsied an day 14. Based on these findings, the LD50 value for acute oral toxicity in rats was determined to be > 4165 mg/kg bw.
In an acute oral toxicity study conducted similar to OECD 401 the test substance was administered to mice. Doses of 4.64, 6.81, 8.25 and 10 mL/kg bw (corresponding to 3865, 5673, 6872 and 8330 mg/kg bw calculated using a densitiy of 0.833 g/cm^3) were applied by gavage. Two male mice were tested per dose group. As vehicle, 0.8 % aqueous hydroxypropylmethyl cellulose was used. The animals were observed for a period of 14 days. Mortality was observed on day 1 after treatment. Both animals of the highest dose group and one animal of the 6872 mg/kg bw dose group died. Based on these results, the acute oral LD50 value was determined to be 6872 mg/kg bw in mice.
Acute inhalation toxicity:
The test substance was assessed for its acute toxicity after single inhalation exposure in a 4 -hours experiment according to OECD 403. 10 Wistar rats (5 males and 5 females) were exposed to the test substance as a saturated vapour (48.6 mg/m^3) in an exposure chamber. Additionally a control group of 20 animals were exposed to air only. The exposure period was followed by a 14 -day observation period. The animals were observed and body weights were recorded at regular intervals. After 14 days, all animals were killed and subjected to post-mortem examination. The kidneys, liver, lungs and spleen were taken for histological examination. All rats survived the treatment without exhibiting clinical symptoms. No abnormalities were found at necropsy and no statistically significant differences between exposure and control group were found with regard to body weight gains or organ weights. As a conclusion, saturated vapour (48.6 mg/m^3) of the test substance was not toxic in this experiment. Therefore the LD50 was determined to be > 6.1 ppm (corresponding to 48.6 mg/m^3).
Acute dermal toxicity:
A limit study on acute dermal toxicity was conducted according to OECD 402 in rats. 5 male and 5 female Wistar rats were dermally treated with one dose of 2000 mg/kg bw of the test substance. The substance was applied under occlusion and the patches remained on the skin sites for 24 hours. The skin was gently dabbed with wet tissues in order to remove remaining test substance after removal. During the 14 -day observation period no deaths occurred and no signs of systemic toxicity were noted. Irritated skin sites found on all animals returned to normal by the end of the observation period. No test item related macroscopic findings were reported at autopsy. Based on these results, the dermal LD50 value was determined to be greater than 2000 mg/kg bw.
Justification for classification or non-classification
Classification, Labelling, and Packaging Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008
The available data gave no indications for acute toxic properties of the test substance after oral, inhalative or dermal administration. On the basis of these data the substance is not considered to be classified for acute toxicity under Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008 (CLP), as amended for the ninth time in Regulation (EU) No 2016/1179.
