Additional information
Acute oral: In this study performed equivalent to OECD TG 401 guideline and GLP principles, 10 rats (5 males and 5 females) were administered to the substance at a dose level of 5000 mg/kg bw. No deaths occurred. Slight depression was observed among all animals at 3, 6 and 24 hours after application of the substance. Normal bodyweight increases were observed on the 14th day of the observation period. No gross changes were observed. The acute oral LD50 for the substance in male and female rats was determined to be >5000 mg/kg bw.
Acute dermal: In this study performed to OECD TG 402 guideline and GLP principles, 10 rats (5 males and 5 females) were administered to the substance at a dose level of 2000 mg/kg bw. No deaths occurred and there were no signs of systemic toxicity. All animals showed expected gains in bodyweight over the study period. There were no signs of dermal irritation and no abnormalities were noted at necropsy. The acute dermal LD50 for the substance in male and female rats was determined to be >2000 mg/kg bw.
Acute inhalation: Acute inhalation is predicted based on the acute oral toxicity in accordance with the CLP guidance document (2015, page 255). The acute inhalation is predicted to be 13000 mg/m3 and the saturated vapour pressure is 43 mg/m3. This means that the acute inhalation concentration cannot be reached and therefore no acute inhalation is anticipated.
(Calculation: =>5000 mg/kg bw x 0.0052 mg/l (x 1000 conversion to m3) after 4 h exposure x 50/100% oral versus inhalation absorption. Saturated vapour pressure calculation mg/m3: (MW g/mol*VP (Pa) / 8.3*293)*1000)).
Justification for classification or non-classification
According to the CLP criteria 1272/2008 and its amendments, the substance does not have to be classified for acute toxicity by the oral, dermal and inhalation route.
