The 2000 mg/kg dose reduced body weight and food consumption the first several days after dose administration. - Executive summary:
Executive Summary
The objectives of this study were to determine the acute toxicity resulting from exposure to EC 202-228-8 (test substance) in Crl:CD(SD) rats, and to estimate the defined exposure ranges where lethality is expected, since death of a proportion of the animals was a major endpoint of this study.

a Subsequent dose levels were established by the Study Director based on the results of the initial 300 mg/kg dose.
b Rats were fasted overnight prior to dose administration through 3 to 4 hours after dose administration.
Female rats were administered the test substance once by oral gavage. The rats were fasted overnight prior to dose administration through 3 to 4 hours postdose administration. Doses were adjusted for fasted body weights taken before administration. The first day of dose administration was designated as Day 1 of study (DS 1) for each rat.
The 300 mg/kg dose level was administered to 3 female rats. No mortality and body weight gain were observed; therefore, an additional 3 female rats were dosed once with 300 mg/kg of test substance. No mortality and body weight gain were observed following dose administration; therefore, an additional 3 female rats were dosed once with 2000 mg/kg of test substance. No mortality was observed following dose administration; therefore, an additional 3 female rats were dosed once with 2000 mg/kg of test substance. All doses were based on a 5 mL/kg dose volume.
The following parameters and end points were evaluated in this study: clinical signs, body weights, body weight changes, food consumption, and gross necropsy findings.
Clinical observations observed considered test substance-related included hunched posture, decreased motor activity, bradypnea, slight excess salivation, ptosis, ataxia, lacrimation, impaired righting reflex, low carriage and coldness to the touch. The adverse clinical observations were first observed at approximately 30 minutes postdose. These clinical observations persisted for approximately two hours in the 300 mg/kg dose groups and until the end of day post-checks in the 2000 mg/kg dose groups. All rats appeared normal on DS 2 and continued to be normal for the remainder of the study.
Body weight gains were reduced in the 2000 mg/kg dose groups, as compared with values for the rats in the 300 mg/kg dose groups on DSs 1 to 2. A body weight loss was observed in the 2000 mg/kg dose groups on DSs 2 to 3. A comparable rebound in body weight gain was observed in both 2000 mg/kg dose groups on DSs 4 to 5.
Absolute and relative food consumption values were reduced in the 2000 mg/kg dose groups, as compared with values for the rats in the 300 mg/kg dose groups on DSs 1 to 2, 2 to 3 and 3 to 4. A comparable rebound in absolute food consumption values was observed in both 2000 mg/kg dose groups on DSs 4 to 5 and the absolute and relative food consumption values remained generally comparable for the remainder of the study.
No gross lesions were identified at necropsy.
In conclusion, administration of a single dose of 300 or 2000 mg/kg of test substance did not cause mortality. Doses of 300 and 2000 mg/kg produced adverse clinical signs that were apparent at the 30 minute postdose observation, but were no longer apparent by the end of the day postdose observation. The 2000 mg/kg dose reduced body weight and food consumption the first several days after dose administration.
Reference
Absolute (g/day) and relative (mg/kg/day) food consumption values were reduced in the 2000 mg/kg dose groups, as compared with values for the rats in the 300 mg/kg dose groups on DSs 1 to 2, 2 to 3 and 3 to 4. A comparable rebound in absolute food consumption values was observed in both 2000 mg/kg dose groups on DSs 4 to 5 and the absolute and relative food consumption values remained generally comparable for the remainder of the study including the entire study period (calculated as DSs 1 to 14). The mean absolute food consumption value for the rats in the 2000 mg/kg dose groups (averages of Groups 1 and 2) were reduced by 12% for the first week after dose administration (calculated as DSs 1 to 8), as compared with the mean value for the rats in the 300 mg/kg dose groups (average of Groups 3 and 4).
The mean relative food consumption value for the rats in the 2000 mg/kg dose groups (averages of Groups 1 and 2) were reduced by 19% for the first week after dose administration (calculated as DSs 1 to 8), as compared with the mean value for the rats in the 300 mg/kg dose groups (average of Groups 3 and 4). Absolute and relative food consumption values were generally comparable between the 300 and 2000 mg/kg dose groups during the second week of the study (calculated as DSs 8 to 14).

The test item was administered, as supplied, onto the moistened dorsal trunk under a gauze patch, also moistened, which was covered with semi-occlusive tape, then secured with occlusive tape (ie the site was fully occluded). The dressings remained in place for 24 h. The dose was calculated on the basis of the body weights of the animals on the day of dosing. Animals were observed for signs of reaction to treatment 5 times on the day of dosing and once daily from Day 2 until the end of the observation period on Day 15. Body weights were recorded weekly and all animals were subjected to a necropsy examination.
The following parameters and end points were evaluated in this study: clinical signs, body weights, body weight changes, and gross necropsy findings.
There were no unscheduled deaths during the observation period.
There were no systemic signs of toxicity noted in any animal at any observation timepoint and local findings at the dosing site were restricted to staining or test item residues at the test site, which were seen in 6 animals on Day 2 only.
Body weight gain was considered to be acceptable for rats of this age and strain. No abnormal findings were noted at necropsy.
Under the conditions of the study, the median lethal dermal dosage (LD50) for 2-(2-naphthoxy)ethanol in Sprague-Dawley rats was estimated to be greater than 2000 mg/kg.

Additional information
Acute toxicity oral
Testing conducted in accordance with OECD Guideline 423 (Acute Oral toxicity - Acute Toxic Class Method) reported that no deaths occurred up to an oral dose of EC 202-228-8 at 2000 mg/kg. Doses of 300 and 2000 mg/kg produced adverse clinical signs that were apparent at the 30 minute post dose observation, but were no longer apparent by the end of the day. The 2000 mg/kg dose reduced body weight and food consumption the first several days after dose administration. The median lethal oral dose (LD50) for EC 202-228-8 in Sprague-Dawley rats is therefore greater than 2000 mg/kg.
Acute Dermal Study
Testing conducted in accordance with OECD guideline 402 reported no unscheduled deaths during the observation period. There were no systemic signs of toxicity noted in any animal at any observation timepoint and local findings at the dosing site were restricted to staining or test item residues at the test site, which were seen in 6 animals on Day 2 only. Body weight gain was considered to be acceptable for rats of this age and strain. No abnormal findings were noted at necropsy. Under the conditions of the study, the median lethal dermal dosage (LD50) for EC 202-228-8 in Sprague-Dawley rats was therefore greater than 2000 mg/kg.
Acute Inhalation Study
In accordance with Section 8.5 of Annex VIII of the REACH Regulation, a study of the acute inhalation toxicity is not required, since there is very low potential for inhalation exposure to the substance. Studies of acute toxicity of the registration substance via oral exposure and via dermal exposure have been provided (see sections 7.2.1 and 7.2.3 of the IUCLID dossier).

Justification for classification or non-classification
Acute toxicity oral
Results from a study conducted in accordance with OECD 423 guideline did not produce test-material-related mortality. The acute median lethal oral dose (LD50) was found to exceed 2000 mg/kg, therefore the test material was considered to have no significant acute toxic risk if swallowed and did not meet the criteria for classification according to CLP Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008.
Acute Dermal Toxicity
Results from a study conducted in accordance with OECD 402 guideline did not produce test-material-related mortality.The acute median lethal oral dose (LD50) was found to exceed 2000 mg/kg, therefore the test material was considered to have no significant acute toxic risk if in contact with the skin and did not meet the criteria for classification according to CLP Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008.
