Additional information
Based on the information available both on tested substance and on similar substance 01, the acute oral LD50 in mice were > 2000 mg/kg. No adverse effect was seen in all the existing test and it coud be stated that Acid Yellow 23 does not give any concern for acute otral toxicity.
Justification for classification or non-classification
On the HPV program report
there are the indication that in reports submitted to the World Health
Organization, the acute oral LD50 in mice was reported to be 12,750
mg/kg bw [National Institute of Hygienic Sciences of Japan, 1964].
In rats, the LD50 by intraperitoneal injection was reported to be 2,000
mg/kg bw and the LD50 by intravenous injection was reported to be 1,000
mg/kg bw [Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft, 1957].
There is an acute oral toxicity study performed on another form of Acid Yellow 23 which does not show any effect. The LD50 was > 2000 mg/kg.
There are also subcrhonic and chronic studies and no toxic effects were observed.
According to the CLP Regulation (EC n. 1272/2008), table 3.1.1, Acute toxicity hazard categories and acute toxicity estimates (ATE) defining the respective categories:
For Acute toxicity oral route:
Category 1: ATE <= 5 mg/kg bw
Category 2: 5 < ATE <= 50 mg/kg bw
Category 3: 50 < ATE <= 300 mg/kg bw
Category 4: 300 < ATE <= 2000 mg/kg bw
The LD50 of the test substance was determined to be > 2000 mg/kg bw in the chosen reference test, which is outside the above criteria. Therefore, the test substance is not classified for Acute toxicity by oral exposure.
