Executive summary:

The substance has been tested for acute toxicity after oral exposure, the test item was administered by gavage in a single dose of 5000 mg/kg bw to rats (5 male and 5 female).

After the administration, the animals were observed for 14 days. No deaths occurred and no clinical symptoms were recorded.

The acute oral median lethal dose LD50 of test item in rats is greater than 5000 mg/kg bw.

Endpoint conclusion

Endpoint conclusion:

no adverse effect observed

Dose descriptor:

LD50

Value:

5 000 mg/kg bw

Acute toxicity: via dermal route

Endpoint conclusion

Endpoint conclusion:

no study available

Additional information

Acute oral administration:

Three studies are available on acute oral toxicity conducted on similar substance 1.

The Key study (Huntsman, 1975) was performed with a method similar to the OECD Guideline 401. The test item was administered to rats in a single dose by gavage at the concentration of 5000 mg/kg bw. No deaths occurred during the observation period.

LD50 > 5000 mg/kg bw

As supporting studies the two other studies available on similar substance 1 were reported:

The first study (BASF, 1979) was performed with a method similar to the OECD Guideline 401. The test item was administered to rats in a single dose by gavage in distilled water at the concentration of 2000 mg/kg bw. No deaths occurred during the observation period.

LD50 > 2000 mg/kg bw

The second study (BASF, 1979) was performed with a method similar to the OECD Guideline 401. . The test item was administered to rats in a single dose by gavage in CMC (carboxymethyl cellulose) at the concentration of 5000 mg/kg bw. No deaths occurred during the observation period, nevertheless blue urine and foeces were observed.

LD50 > 5000 mg/kg bw

The three study of acute oral administration are similar, the main reason for selection is the highest purity of the Huntsman study conducted in 1975.

 

Justification for classification or non-classification

According to the CLP Regulation (EC n. 1272/2008) acute toxicity means those adverse effects occurring following oral or dermal administration of a single dose of a substance or a mixture, or an inhalation exposure of 4 hours.

The LC50 value for the oral administration is higher then 2000 mg/kg bw (LD50 > 5000 mg/kg bw) that is the trigger value for the acute oral toxicity classification.

Based on the data above, the substance is not classified for acute oral toxicity.
