The Acute oral toxicity of 2-ethylhexyl methacrylate was evaluated in male and female Crj: CD(SD) rats according to OECD N°401 guideline and in compliance with principles of Good Laboratory Practices. Animals were treated by gavage at the dose level of 2000 mg/kg and then observed for 14 days for mortality, clinical signs and effect on body weight. No mortality was recorded in the 14 day-observation period. Although soft faeces were observed in all treated groups, these effects were considered to be attributable to corn oil used as a vehicle. A tendency of the depression of body weight gain was observed on the second day in both sexes. No treatment related macroscopic abnormality was observed. Under these experimental conditions, the oral LD0of 2-ethylhexyl methacrylate is higher than 2000 mg/kg in female/male rats.

- According to the test result: LD50(14days) > 17500 mg/kg bw the test substance Methacrylic acid ester 12.6 has to be classified as nontoxic in

In an acute oral toxicity study, groups of fasted male and female SPF Wistar rats were given a single oral dose of Methacrylic acid ester 12.6 at a dose of 20.0 ml/kg/bw and observed for 14days.
Oral LD50Combined = > 20.0 ml/kg bw equals > 17500 mg/kg bw (95% C.I. not available)
GHS Category 5 ranges from 2000 -5000 mg/kg bw and represents the lowest hazard category for classifying the acute oral toxicity of a chemical substance. ("Criteria for hazard Category 5 are intended to enable the identification of the test substancese which are of relatively low acute toxicity hazard but which, under certain circumstances may present a danger to vulnerable populations". (OECD guideline 425 annex 4)).
Methacrylic acid ester 12.6 is practically nontoxicity after oral administration based on this LD50test in males and females.

REPORTING FORMAT FOR THE ANALOGUE APPROACH
Further information is included as attachment. Please also see attached justification.
1. HYPOTHESIS FOR THE ANALOGUE APPROACH
The constituents of the UVCB substance NUMA (Nonyl-Undecyl methacrylate) are structurally related mono alkyl methacrylate esters differing only in the respective alcoholic moieties. The main proportion of these esters are of the n-type the minor proportion of the iso type. Considering the small amount of iso-types and the negligible differences in (eco-) toxicological properties between the n- and iso types, in this assessment both types of one ester with one specific chain length are assessed together as a whole.
Further information is included as attachment. Please also see attached justification Chapter 1

- Executive summary:
The outcome of the tested substances with LD50 values above the general limit values for acute toxicity testing does not enable interpolation. Therefore, the LD50 for NUMA and its constituents is predicted to be also above 5000 mg/kg bodyweight. This read across is conducted with high confidence.
