Details on test animals or test system and environmental conditions:

TEST ANIMALS
- Age at study initiation: approximately five to eight weeks old
- Weight at study initiation: males: 110 - 139 g; females: 109- 137 g
- Fasting period before study: an overnight fast immediately before dosing and for approximately two hours after dosing
- Housing: the animals were housed in polypropylene cages with sawdust bedding.
- Diet (ad libitum, for exception see "Fasting period before study" above): Rat and Mouse Expanded Diet No. 1, Special Diet Services Limited, Witham, Essex, U.K.
- Water (ad libitum, for exception see "Fasting period before study" above): mains drinking water
- Acclimation period: minimum of five days

ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS
- Temperature: 19 - 22°C
- Relative humidity: 45 - 60%
- Air changes: approximately 15 changes per hour
- Photoperiod (hrs dark / hrs light): 12/12

Administration / exposure

Route of administration:

oral: gavage

Vehicle:

unchanged (no vehicle)

Details on oral exposure:

MAXIMUM DOSE VOLUME APPLIED: 1.55 mL/kg; for the purpose of this study the specific gravity (1.292), as given by the study sponsor, was used to calculate the appropriate dose volume for the required dose level.
The dose level for each animal was calculated according to its bodyweight at the time of dosing.

Doses:

2000 mg/kg

No. of animals per sex per dose:

5 males / 5 females

Control animals:

no

Details on study design:

- Duration of observation period following administration: 14 days
- Frequency of observations and weighing: animals were observed 1 and 4 hours after dosing and subsequently once daily for 14 days. Mortalities and evidence of overt toxicity were recorded at each observation.
Individual bodyweights were recorded on the day of treatment (day 0) and days 7 and 14.
- Necropsy of survivors performed: yes; all animals were subjected to gross necropsy examination for any macroscopic abnormalities. No tissues were retained.

Statistics:

Using the mortality data obtained, an estimate of the acute oral median lethal dose (LD50) of the test material was made.

Results and discussion

Effect levels

Sex:

male/female

Dose descriptor:

LD50

Effect level:

> 2 000 mg/kg bw

Based on:

test mat.

Mortality:

No mortality occurred.

Clinical signs:

other: All animals showed hunched posture, pilo-erection, lethargy and a decreased respiratory rate one hour after treatment. Additional signs of toxicity observed in some animals one hour after treatment consisted of increased salivation and staining around the

Gross pathology:

All animals were subjected to gross necropsy. An area of thickening approximately 4 mm X 4 mm on the glandular region of the stomach was recorded for a single female rat. No abnormalities were seen in any of the remaining animals.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:

not classified

Remarks:

Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU

Conclusions:

The acute oral median lethal dose (LD50) of Rezal 67 solution to the rat was found to be greater than 2000 mg/kg bodyweight.
According to the EC-Commission directive 67/548/EEC and its subsequent amendments, the test substance is not classified as acute toxic via the oral route.
According to the EC-Regulation 1272/2008 and its subsequent amendments, the test item is not classified as acute toxic via the oral route.
