Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.

The new ECHA CHEM database has been released by ECHA, and it now contains all REACH registration data. There are more details on the transition of ECHA's published data to ECHA CHEM here.

Description of key information

Summary of 28-day repeat dose study

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Repeated dose toxicity: via oral route - systemic effects

Endpoint conclusion
Dose descriptor:
NOAEL
250 mg/kg bw/day
Study duration:
subacute
Species:
rat

Additional information

No clinical symptoms related to the administration of the test article and no signs of systemic toxicity were observed during the 28-day study. The findings in treated groups were unremarkable and comparable to those of the controls. The investigations revealed a minimal higher activity of alkaline phosphatase in the male of group 4 (250 mg/Kg) and male and females of the high dose group (1000 mg/Kg). A trend to slightly increased liver weights was observed in treated males group 4 and 5 (250 + 1000 mg/Kg) and in females group 5. Macroscopical and microscopical examination revealed no changes which could be attributed to effects of the test compound.

 

No toxic effect level: 50 mg/Kg body weight

 

Due to this fact, and the fact that exposure to the test substance is expected to be very low, based on its granular form and its identified uses, further animal testing such as a 90-day sub-chronic toxicity study is considered not to be justified.

The following information is taken into account for any hazard / risk assessment:

Assessment of subacute exposure by oral route is discussed below.

Value used for CSA (route: oral):

NOAEL: 250 mg/kg bw/day (subacute; rat)

NOEL: 50 mg/kg bw/day (subacute:rat)

Justification for classification or non-classification

The above studies have all been ranked reliability 1 according to the Klimish et al system. This ranking was deemed appropriate because the studies were all conducted to GLP in compliance with recognised guidelines. The majority of the information has been provided from a migrated nons file referring to studies which are more than 12 years old, with the permission of ECHA.

The above results triggered no classification under the Dangerous Substance Directive (67/548/EEC) and the CLP Regulation (EC No 1272/2008). No classification for acute effects is therefore required.
