Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Acute toxicity: via oral route

Link to relevant study records
Reference
Endpoint:
acute toxicity: oral
Type of information:
migrated information: read-across from supporting substance (structural analogue or surrogate)
Adequacy of study:
key study
Reliability:
2 (reliable with restrictions)
Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
other: GLP Guideline study. According to ECHA guidance, a study with a read-across substance can have no reliability of higher than 2. The study itself is valid without restriction.
Qualifier:
according to guideline
Guideline:
OECD Guideline 401 (Acute Oral Toxicity)
Deviations:
no
GLP compliance:
yes
Test type:
standard acute method
Limit test:
yes
Species:
rat
Strain:
other: Tif: RAIf(SPF)
Sex:
male/female
Details on test animals or test system and environmental conditions:
TEST ANIMALS
- Further description: F3-hybrid of RII 1/Tif x RII 2/Tif
- Source: Ciba-Geigy Ltd. Tierfarm, 4334 Sisseln, Switzerland
- Age at study initiation: 7-8 weeks
- Weight at study initiation: 173-195 (within ± 20% of mean value)
- Fasting period before study: overnight prior to dosing
- Housing: 5 per sex in Macrolon cage type 4 with standardized soft wood bedding (Societe Parisienne des sciures, Pantin).
- Diet: ad libitum; Rat food, NAFAG No. 890, NAFAG AG, Gossau, SG (Switzerland),
- Water: ad libitum
- Acclimation period: 6 days
- Rationale for choice: The rat has been selected for this test as being a standard species for the determination of an acute oral LD50

ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS
- Temperature (°C): 22 ± 3
- Humidity (%): 55 ± 15
- Air changes (per hr): approx. 15
- Photoperiod (hrs dark / hrs light): 12/12
Route of administration:
oral: gavage
Vehicle:
other: distilled water containing 0.5% carboxymethylcellulose and 0.1% polysorbate
Details on oral exposure:
MAXIMUM DOSE VOLUME APPLIED: 10 ml/kg bw
Doses:
5000 mg/kg bw
No. of animals per sex per dose:
5
Control animals:
no
Details on study design:
- Duration of observation period following administration: 14 days
- Frequency of observations: mortality; daily; a.m. and p.m. on working days, a.m. on weekend days, clinical signs of toxicity; daily
- Frequency of weighing: on days 1, 7, and 14
- Necropsy of survivors performed: yes
Statistics:
From the body weights, the group means and their standard deviations were calculated.
Sex:
male/female
Dose descriptor:
LD50
Effect level:
> 5 000 mg/kg bw
Remarks on result:
other: No deaths occurred
Mortality:
No deaths occurred
Clinical signs:
other: Dyspnea, exophthalmos, ruffled fur, and curved body position were seen, beginning as early as 1 hour post dosing and lasting up to 10 day. The animals were fully recovered within 11 days.
Gross pathology:
No deviations from normal morphology were found.
Endpoint conclusion
Endpoint conclusion:
no adverse effect observed

Additional information

Justification for selection of acute toxicity – oral endpoint
The rat acute oral LD50 of the test substance is considered to be greater than 5000 mg/kg body weight, based on the results of a study on a close analogue (OECD 401).

Justification for classification or non-classification

Not classified for acute oral toxicity, according to the criteria of CLP regulation EC No.1272/2008.
