Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Interpretation of results:
- not classified
- Remarks:
- Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
- Conclusions:
- It was concluded that the potassium titanate fibre has no toxic effects at the dose of 2000 mg/kg, and the minimum dose of potassium titanate fibre in rats was more than 2000 mg/kg. The test material does not meet the criteria for classification according to EU classification system (Council Directive 67/548/EEC and Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008).
- Executive summary:
To determine the acute toxicity of potassium titanate fiber, an oral dose limiting study in rats using 2000 mg/kg was conducted. The results were summarised as follows.
2000 mg/kg of the substance was dosed to 5 male and 5 female rats, being fasted from the previous night to 3 hours after the administration. No death has occurred in all male and female rats. In the observations of clinical signs, soft stools were found in one male rat from 50 minutes until 3 hours after the administration, and one female rat at 3 hours after the administration. No other significant changes were observed.
Both of all male and female rats gained body weight normally.
Any abnormal changes were not found at the postmortem pathological examinations following the 14-day observation period.
It was concluded that the minimum lethal dose of the substance was more then 2000 mg/kg.
The test material does not meet the criteria for classification according to EU classification system (Council Directive 67/548/EEC and Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008).
