Description of key information

Suitable acute toxicity studies were only available for oral and dermal adminisration of the test substance. As the study regarding acute inhalation toxicity obtained methodological deficincies, read across on reliable data from an analogue substance was performed.


 


- Oral: similar to OECD guideline 401, prior GLP, LD50 (rat) >10000 mg/kg bw (no mortality or signs of toxicity)


- Inhalation: read across to CAS 106276-80-6, similar to OECD guideline 403, prior GLP, LC50 (rat) >1.04 mg/L (no mortality or signs of toxicity)


- Dermal: similar to OECD guideline 402, prior GLP, LD50 (rat) >2500 mg/kg bw (no mortality or signs of toxicity)

Additional information

Oral:


Acute oral toxicity of the test item (purity 100%), dissolved in an aqueous solution 0.5% CMC, was determined by single oral (gavage) administration to male and female rats at a concentration of 10000 mg/kg bw. The animals were observed for 7 days and checked for mortality, body weight change and clinical signs of toxicity. All animals survived until scheduled day of necropsy which did not reveal any findings. Excretion of yellowish feces was reported. The LD50 after oral application is therefore considered to be higher than 10000 mg/kg bw.


 


Inhalation:


Acute inhalation toxicity was examined for the test substance itself. Exposure of 12 rats for 8h to an atmosphere enriched with the test material did not cause mortality or findings in necropsy. However, due to an unsuitable test method for non-volatile or non-dusty solids, the study is regarded as invalid and read across to CAS 106276-80-6 was performed.


 


Acute inhalation toxicity of the analogue substance was examined after 4h dust exposure of 1000 mg/m³ (highest technically attainable conc., nose only) to 9 male and female Tif: RAif rats. The exposure was started 15 minutes after onset of the dust production, when the dust had reached an even dispersal throughout the chamber. After a 4 hour inhalation, the rats were returned to their cages. Physical conditions and incidence of death were monitored throughout an observation period of 14 days. None of the animals died, organ changes or clinical signs of toxicity were not observed. Therefore, the LC50 is considered to be greater than 1.04 mg/L air.


In an inhalation hazard test with the thermal decomposition products of the analogue substance,  nine male and nine female rats of the Tif: RAIf (SPF) strain were exposed for 30 minutes (snouts and nostrils only) to the fumes produced upon thermal decomposition of the test material at a temperature of 300° C. Exposure to the fumes was tolerated by all animals. No mortality and signs of toxicity were observed after 30 min exposure to the vapour/ fume of the thermal decomposition products of the test substance at 300°C.


Based on the physico-chemical, structural as well as toxicoligical similarities, the same outcome is assumed for the actual substance.


 


Dermal:


To determine acute dermal toxicity of the test substance, 2500 mg/kg bw of the material (purity 100%) was applied onto dorsal skin of male and female rats for 24h under occlusive conditions. The animals were observed for 14 days and checked daily for mortality and clinical signs of toxicity. None of the rats died; yellowish staining of the treatment site was observed. The LD50 after dermal application is therefore considered to be higher than 2500 mg/kg bw.


 


Other routes:


Intraperitoneal injection of an aqeous solution of the test substance (10.000 mg/kg bw) into mice did not result in mortalities. Intra-abdominal deposits of test substance and conglutinations were observed during necropsy.

Justification for classification or non-classification

Classification, Labelling, and Packaging Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008


The available experimental test data are reliable and suitable for classification purposes under Regulation 1272/2008. No mortality occurred. As a result, the substance is not considered to be classified for acute oral, inhalation or dermal toxicity under Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008, as amended for the fourteenth time in Regulation (EC) No. 2020/217.
