Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:

GHS criteria not met

Conclusions:

According to a brief report, the acute oral LD50 value for tetrammine platinous chloride in rats is >15.1 g/kg bw.

Executive summary:

In a brief report of an acute oral toxicity test, in which 5 rats/sex were given a single oral dose of tetrammine platinous chloride at 15.1 g/kg bw, there were no deaths. The acute oral LD50 is therefore >15.1 g/kg bw. No other findings were reported (but the extent of examination and observation is unclear).

The study report notes that, according to the tabulation of toxicity classes incorporated in the American NFPA No. 704M labelling system, the acute oral LD50 of CB 13 is likely to fall within Class 0 – “relatively harmless”.

Based on the results of this study, tetraammineplatinum dichloride does not require classification for acute oral toxicity according to EU CLP criteria (EC 1272/2008).
