No abnormalities were found at macroscopic post mortem examination of the animals. The dermal LD50 value of the test item in Wistar rats was established to exceed 2000 mg/kg body weight.
Reference
Protocol Deviations: Deviations from the maximum level for relative humidity (with a maximum of 20 %) occurred which might have been caused by cleaning procedures in the room. Since there were no indications that the animals were influenced by this deviation, this deviation was considered not to have affected the study integrity.

Additional information
Acute toxicity: oral
In an acute oral toxicity study according to OECD guideline 423, the test item was administered by oral gavage to groups of 3 Wistar rats of each sex at 2000 mg/kg body weight (AKZO Nobel 2001, 317712). Animals were subjected to daily observations and weekly determination of body weight. Macroscopic examination was performed after terminal sacrifice (day 15). No mortality occurred. Lethargy, hunched posture, piloerection, and/or ptosis were noted among the animals between days 1 and 3. Lethargy, rales and salivation were noted in one male on day 12. The mean body weight gain shown by the animals over the study period was considered to be normal. No abnormalities were found at macroscopic post mortem examination of the animals. The oral LD50 value of the test item in Wistar rats was established to exceed 2000 mg/kg bw.
Acute toxicity: inhalation
Additional testing by inhalation route is not applicable as data for oral and dermal toxicity were available. According to the REACH Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006, Annex VIII, 8.5.1 only information on two application routes needs to be provided, with test item administration via the most appropriate route. Additionally, the vapour pressure of the test item is low (0.1 Pa at 25 °C) and exposure via inhalation route is not expected.
Acute toxicity: dermal
In an acute dermal toxicity study according to OECD guideline 402, the test item was administered to five Wistar rats of each sex (females were nulliparous and non-pregnant) by dermal application at 2000 mg/kg body weight for 24 hours. Animals were subjected to daily observations and weekly determination of body weight. Macroscopic examination was performed after terminal sacrifice (day 15).
No mortality occured. Hunched posture and chromodacryorrhoea were observed in the majority of animals. Lethargy and ptosis were observed in one male. The animals had recovered from the symptoms by day 3. Erythema and scales were seen in the treated skin-area among the females from days 2 to 7. The body weight gain during the observation period was within the range expected for rats used in this type of study. No abnormalities were found at macroscopic post mortem examination of the animals. The dermal LD50 value of the test item in Wistar rats was established to exceed 2000 mg/kg body weight.
Justification for classification or non-classification
Classification, Labelling, and Packaging Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008.
The available experimental test data is reliable and suitable for classification purposes under Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008. As a result the substance is not considered to be classified for acute oral and dermal toxicity under Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008, as amended for the fifteenth time in Regulation (EU) 2020/1182.
