Based on:
test mat.
Sex:
male/female
Dose descriptor:
LD50
Effect level:
> 10 000 mg/kg bw
Based on:
test mat.
Mortality:
No mortality observed
Clinical signs:
other: Dhiarroea, Ruffled fur, Dyspnoea.
Gross pathology:
No substance related gross organ changes were seen
Interpretation of results:
practically nontoxic
Remarks:
Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
Conclusions:
The acute oral LD50 of test substance in rats of both sexes observed over a period of 14 days is greater than 10000 mg/kg bw.
Executive summary:

The acute oral LD50 of test substance in rats of both sexes observed over a period of 14 days is greater than 10000 mg/kg bw. The test material has therefore practically no acute toxicity to the rat by this route of administration.

Endpoint conclusion
Endpoint conclusion:
no adverse effect observed
Dose descriptor:
LD50
Value:
10 000 mg/kg bw
Quality of whole database:
All tests for acute toxicity are conducted with international accepted procedures, but not with GLP criteria.

Acute toxicity: via inhalation route

Endpoint conclusion
Endpoint conclusion:
no study available

Acute toxicity: via dermal route

Endpoint conclusion
Endpoint conclusion:
no study available

Additional information

Acid Yellow 151 presents only slight signs of toxicity after oral administration of large quantities (eg 10000 mg /kg bw).
The test material has therefore practically no acute toxicity to the rat by this route of administration.

Justification for selection of acute toxicity – oral endpoint

The study made in 1979 was more detailed than the study made in 1976. Physical condition and rate of deaths were monitored throughout the whole observation period.

In the study made in 1976 the schedule was not described and there is no tables

Justification for classification or non-classification

Acute toxicity means those adverse effects occurring following oral or dermal administration of a single dose of a substance or a mixture, or multiple doses given within 24 hours, or an inhalation exposure of 4 hours. Based on the CLP definition, Acid Yellow 151 cannot be allocated to one of four toxicity categories; based on acute toxicity by the oral route according to the numeric criteria shown in Table 3.1.1 of the CLP Regulation; therefore it can be assumed that :

No classification for acute toxicity oral is warranted under the Regulation EC n. 1272/2008
