- Housing: The animals were housed in groups of up to five during the acclimatisation period in suspended, solid floor cages with wire lids. From the day prior to dosing (Day-1), the rats were housed in groups of three in similar cages. Bedding was provided on a weekly basis to each cage by use of clean European soft wood bedding (Datesand Ltd., Manchester, UK). Each batch of bedding was analysed for specific constituents and contaminants. No contaminants were present in bedding at levels which might have interfered with achieving the objective of the study.

Each batch of diet had been analysed for specific constituents and contaminants by the manufacturer. No contaminants were present in diet at levels which might have interfered with achieving the objective of the study.
- Water (e.g. ad libitum): Mains water was provided ad libitum via cage mounted water bottles. The water was periodically analysed for specific contaminants. No contaminants were present in water at levels which might have interfered with achieving the objective of the study.

Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Interpretation of results:
- Category 4 based on GHS criteria
- Conclusions:
- Based of the experimental conditions of this study, the test article was classified as Category 4 in respect of its acute oral toxicity according to the Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labelling of Chemicals (GHS).
- Executive summary:
OECD 423 (2017) - This study was conducted to assess the acute toxicity of the test article (Reaction Mass of N,N,N',N-tetrabutylmethylenediamine and dibutylamine), following a single oral administration to small groups of rats. The study design provides information for hazard assessment and classification and enables a chemical to be assigned to toxicity classes but severely restricts animal usage.
A group of fasted rats was given the test article as a single dose by oral gavage at a dose level of 2000 mg/kg bw (3F+3F). Based on the results from this dose level and from associated study (14 Day Oral DRF study), in the interest of animal welfare, the next dose level was 50 mg/kg bw (3F+3F). Then, 300 mg/kg bw was tested (3F+3F). Treatment of animals was sequential. Sufficient time was allowed between each group to confirm the survival of the previously dosed animals.
The test article was used undiluted for the 300 and 2000 mg/kg bw dose levels and was dispersed in corn oil for the 50 mg/kg bw dose level. Surviving animals were killed on Day 15. All animals underwent a full necropsy.
Two animals treated at 2000 mg/kg bw were found dead on Day 2. One other animal was humanely killed due to the severity of the clinical signs on this day.
There were no deaths at dose levels of 50 or 300 mg/kg bw.
Decreased activity and hunched posture were noted 3 and 4 hours after dosing, in one animal treated at 2000 mg/kg bw. Hypothermia, ptosis, piloerection, laboured breathing and prone posture were noted in the animal that was killed in extremis. No clinical signs were seen prior to death in the two animals that were found dead.
No clinical signs were seen in animals treated at 50 or 300 mg/kg bw.
All surviving rats achieved body weight gains during the first and second weeks of the study.
No abnormalities were noted at necropsy of animals that died or were killed in extremis during the study or at necropsy of those that were killed at the end of the study.
Based of the experimental conditions of this study, the test article was classified as Category 4 in respect of its acute oral toxicity according to the Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labelling of Chemicals (GHS). Based on the observed effects the LD50 using the cut-off value was estimated to be 500 mg/kg bw bw.
