Description of key information
Acute toxicity: oral
The acute oral toxicity study was conducted on male/female CFY strain rats to evaluate the toxic nature of the test compound 2-chloro-p-phenylenediamine.
35 male and 35 female rats of the CFY strain were administered by oral intubation with a 10% suspension in aqueous gum tragacanth (0.5%) at dosage levels 400, 640, 800. 1000,1260 and 1600 mg/kg bw. The acute oral median lethal dose (LD50) of 2-chloro-p-phenylenediamine in rat was observed to be 1,190 mg/kg bw with 95% CL of 1,070 - 1,320 mg/kg bw. Thus, according to CLP criteria for acute toxicity rating for the chemicals, it infers that 2-chloro-p-phenyl enediamine (CAS No. 615-66-7) can be classify under category 4 compound at the tested dose levels.
Acute toxicity: dermal
The acute toxicity study was predicted using OECD QSAR toolbox version 3.3 (2017) with log kow as the primary descriptor; to evaluate the toxic effects of administration of 2-chloro-p-phenylenediamine (CAS No. 615-66-7) in rabbits by the dermal route. 50% mortality was observed at 2364.13 mg/kg bw in treated rabbits.The acute dermal median lethal dose (LD50) of 2-chloro-p-phenylenediamine in rabbit was estimated to be 2364.13 mg/kg bw. Thus, according to CLP criteria for acute toxicity rating for the chemicals, it infers that 2-chloro-p-phenylenediamine (CAS No. 615-66-7) does not classify as an acute dermal toxicant.

Additional information
Acute toxicity: oral
In different studies, 2-chloro-p-phenylenediamine (CAS No. 615-66-7) has been investigated for acute oral toxicity to a greater or lesser extent. Often are the studies based on in vivo experiments in rodents, i.e. most commonly in rats for 2-chloro-p-phenylenediamine along with the study available on structurally similar read across substances 2,6-dichlorobenzene-1,4-diamine (CAS No. 609 -20 -1) and 2,4,6-trichloroaniline (CAS No. 634-93-5). The studies are summarized as below:
The acute oral toxicity study was published in a Scientific Committee on Consumer Safety (SCCS) report (Opinion On 2-Chloro-p-phenylenediamine COLIPA n° A8,2013).This study was conducted on male/female CFY strain rats to evaluate the toxic nature of the test compound 2-chloro-p-phenylenediamine. 35 male and 35 female rats of the CFY strain were administered by oral intubation with a 10% suspension in aqueous gum tragacanth (0.5%) at dosage levels 400, 640, 800. 1000,1260 and 1600 mg/kg bw. The acute oral median lethal dose (LD50) of 2-chloro-p-phenylenediamine in rat was observed to be 1,190 mg/kg bw with 95% CL of 1,070 - 1,320 mg/kg bw.
In a similar type of study published in a Scientific Committee on Consumer Safety (SCCS) report (Opinion On 2-Chloro-p-phenylenediamine COLIPA n° A8,2013).The acute toxic effects of administration of 2-chloro-p-pheynelenediamine (CAS No. 615-66-7) in rats by the oral route was determined. The acute oral median lethal dose (LD50) of 2-chloro-p-phenylenediamine in rat was observed to be 729 mg/kg bw.
The above two studies are further supported by the experimental study published in a NTP report (1982).The study was conducted to evaluate the acute toxic effects of administration of 2,6-dichlorobenzene-1,4-diamine (CAS No. 609-20-1) in rats by the oral route. The acute oral median lethal dose (LD50) of 2,6-dichlorobenzene-1,4-diamine in rat was observed to be 700.0 mg/kg bw.
Moreover, the study was conducted by Lewis, R.J (Sax's Dangerous Properties of Industrial Materials. 9th ed. Volumes 1-3. New York, NY: Van Nostrand Reinhold, 1996., p. 3231) to evaluate the acute toxic effects of administration of 2,4,6-trichloroaniline (CAS No. 634-93-5) in mouse by the oral route. The acute oral median lethal dose (LD50) of 2,4,6-trichloroaniline in mouse was observed to be 1180.0 mg/kg bw.
So, based on the above mentioned studies for target substance 2-chloro-p-phenylenediamine (CAS No. 615-66-7) and to its read across substances, the median lethal dose (LD50) value was found to be in the range of 700.0 mg/kg b.wt. to 1190.0 mg/kg b.wt. Thus, on the basis of these LD50 value and according to CLP criteria for acute toxicity rating for the chemicals, it infers that 2-chloro-p-phenyl enediamine (CAS No. 615-66-7) can be classify under category 4 compound at the tested dose levels.
Acute toxicity: inhalation
According to column 2 of REACH Annex VIII, the acute toxicity inhalation study need not be conducted because exposure of humans via inhalation route is not likely taking into account the low vapour pressure of the substance 2-chloro-p-phenylenediamine , which is reported as 0.00206 mm Hg. Thus, exposure to inhalable dust, mist and vapour of the chemical 2-chloro-p-phenylenediamine is highly unlikely. Therefore this study is considered for waiver.
Acute toxicity: dermal
In different studies, 2-chloro-p-phenylenediamine (CAS No. 615-66-7) has been investigated for acute dermal toxicity to a greater or lesser extent. Often are the studies based on in vivo experiments and estimated data in rodents, i.e. most commonly in rabbits for 2-chloro-p-phenylenediamine along with the study available on structurally similar read across substance m-phenylenediamine (CAS No.- 108-45-2). The predicted data using the OECD QSAR toolbox has also been compared with the experimental data. The studies are summarized as below:
The acute toxicity study was predicted using OECD QSAR toolbox version 3.3 (2017) with log kow as the primary descriptor; to evaluate the toxic effects of administration of 2-chloro-p-phenylenediamine (CAS No. 615-66-7) in rabbits by the dermal route. 50% mortality was observed at 2364.13 mg/kg bw in treated rabbits.The acute dermal median lethal dose (LD50) of 2-chloro-p-phenylenediamine in rabbit was estimated to be 2364.13 mg/kg bw.
Moreover, the toxicity study was examined by C. Burnett et al., (Journal of Toxicology and Environmental Health.Volume 2, 1977 - Issue 3, 657-662) to evaluate the acute toxic effects of administration of m-phenylenediamine (CAS No. 108-45-2) in rabbits by the dermal route. The acute dermal median lethal dose (LD50) of m-phenylenediamine in rabbit was observed to be 5000.0 mg/kg b.wt.
So, based on the above mentioned studies for target substance 2-chloro-p-phenylenediamine (CAS No. 615-66-7)nand to its read across substance, the median lethal dose (LD50) value was found to be in the range of 2364.13 mg/kg b.wt. to 5000 mg/kg b.wt. Thus, on the basis of these LD50 value and according to CLP criteria for acute toxicity rating for the chemicals, it infers that 2-chloro-p-phenylenediamine (CAS No. 615-66-7) does not classify as an acute dermal toxicant.
Justification for classification or non-classification
Based on the above mentioned studies on 2-chloro-p-phenylenediamine (CAS No. 615-66-7), it can be found that LD50 oral value is in the range of 300 to ≤ 2000 mg/kg b.wt and LD50 dermal value is >2000 mg/kg b.wt. Thus, by comparing these studies with the criteria of CLP regulation, it infers that the test substance 2-chloro-p-phenylenediamine (CAS No. 615-66-7)can be classify as an acute oral toxicant in category 4 whereas 2-chloro-p-phenylenediamine does not classify as an acute toxicant by the dermal route.
