Description of key information
Acute oral toxicity:
The acute oral toxicity dose (LD50) was considered based on different studies conducted on rats for the test chemical. The LD50 value was considered to be >2000 mg/kg bw, for acute oral toxicity. Thus, comparing this value with the criteria of CLP regulation, the given test chemical cannot be classified for acute oral toxicity.
Acute Inhalation Toxicity:
The given test chemical is used as a fragrance ingredient. The inhalation exposure for test chemical is reported to be 0.00014 mg/kg/day or 0.010 mg/day (Api et al., 2018; IFRA, 2015). This is 95th percentile calculated exposure derived from concentration survey data in the Creme RIFM aggregate exposure model. Also, the vapour pressure of the chemical is low (0.127 mmHg). Hence this end point is considered for waiver.
Acute Dermal toxicity:
The acute dermal toxicity dose (LD50) was considered based on different studies conducted on rats and rabbits for the test chemical. The study concluded that LD50 value is >2000 mg/kg bw, for acute dermal toxicity. Thus, comparing this value with the criteria of CLP regulation, the given test chemical cannot be classified for acute dermal toxicity.

The time intervals between dosing were determined by the onset, duration and severity of toxic signs.
Three rats of first group were dosed with starting dose of 2000 mg/kg body weight and the animals did not show any mortality so another three animals of the same group were dosed with 2000 mg/kg body weight and no mortality was observed. Hence, further dosing was stopped.
Body weights were recorded on day 0 (prior to dosing) 7 and 14. Mean body weight of all the animals treated with 2000 mg/kg body weight was observed with gain on day 7 and 14, as compared to day 0. At 2000 mg/kg, all the animals were normal throughout the experimental period. No external and internal gross pathological changes were seen in all the six animals treated with 2000 mg/kg body weight during terminal sacrifice.
Under the conditions of this; acute oral toxicity dose was considered to be >2000 mg/kg bw, when female rats were treated with the given test chemical via oral gavage route.

- Executive summary:
Acute dermal toxicity study was conducted by using the given test chemical as per OECD No. 402 in Wistar rats.
Five male and five female healthy young adult rats were randomly selected and used for conducting acute dermal toxicity study. Rats free from injury and irritation of skin were selected for the study. Approximately, twenty four hours prior to dermal application of test item, greater than 10% of body surface area of each rat was clipped. A limit dose of 2000 mg/ kg body weight based on the test item density (1.05513) and latest body weight was applied by single dermal application and observed for 14 days after treatment.
On test day 0, calculated volume of test item was applied directly on the intact skin of clipped area of rats; the porous gauze dressing was put on to the intact skin of clipped area. This porous gauze dressing was covered with a non-irritating tape. After the 24-hour application period, the dressings were removed and the skin was gently wiped with distilled water. The skin reactions were assessed.
The animals were observed daily for mortality and clinical signs, during the acclimatization period and post dosing till the termination. All animals were observed for clinical signs at approximately 1, 2, 3 and 4 hours after treatment on day 0 and once daily during test days 1‑14. Mortality was recorded after application on test day 0 and twice daily during days 1-14 (at least once on the day of sacrifice). Local signs / Skin reactions were observed daily from test days 1-14 (in common with clinical signs). Body weights were recorded on day 0 (prior to application) and on day 7 and 14. All animals were necropsied and examined macroscopically.
No mortality was observed in any animal till the end of the experimental period. At 2000 mg/kg, all the animals were observed normal throughout the experimental period. Mean body weight was observed with gain on day 7 and 14 of male and female animals, as compared to day 0. The external and internal gross pathological observation of all terminally sacrificed animals did not show any pathological abnormality.
Hence, the LD50 value was considered to be >2000 mg/kg bw, when male and female wistar rats were occlusively treated with test chemical by dermal application following 14 days of observation period according to OECD Guideline 402 (Acute Dermal Toxicity).

Additional information
Acute oral toxicity:
In different studies, the given test chemical has been investigated for acute oral toxicity to a greater or lesser extent. Often are the studies based on in-vivo experiments in rodents, i.e. most commonly in rats for test chemical. The studies are summarized as below –
The reported study was designed and conducted to determine the acute oral toxicity profile of the given test chemical as per OECD Guideline 423 (Acute Oral toxicity - Acute Toxic Class Method) in female Wistar rats.
Six female Wistar rats were selected for acute oral toxicity study. The animals were fasted for minimum 16-18 hours prior to dosing and for 4 hours post dosing, food was withheld but drinking water provided ad libitum. The time intervals between dosing were determined by the onset, duration and severity of toxic signs.
Three rats of first group were dosed with starting dose of 2000 mg/kg body weight and the animals did not show any mortality so another three animals of the same group were dosed with 2000 mg/kg body weight and no mortality was observed. Hence, further dosing was stopped.
Body weights were recorded on day 0 (prior to dosing) 7 and 14. Mean body weight of all the animals treated with 2000 mg/kg body weight was observed with gain on day 7 and 14, as compared to day 0. At 2000 mg/kg, all the animals were normal throughout the experimental period. No external and internal gross pathological changes were seen in all the six animals treated with 2000 mg/kg body weight during terminal sacrifice.
Under the conditions of this; acute oral toxicity dose was considered to be >2000 mg/kg bw, when female rats were treated with the given test chemical via oral gavage route.
The above study report is supported with another study mentioned in different publications, handbooks and authoritative databases for the given test chemical. The acute oral toxicity study was conducted in rats at the dose concentration range of 1670-3430 mg/kg bw. Animals were observed for mortality. 50% mortality was observed at 2550 mg/kg bw in treated animals. Hence, the LD50 value was considered to be 2550 mg/kg bw, with 95% confidence limits of 1670-3430 mg/kg bw, when rats was treated with the given test chemical via oral route.
These studies are further supported with the data available in handbook for the test chemical. The acute oral toxicity study was conducted in rats at the dose concentration of 2600 mg/kg bw. Animals were observed for mortality. 50% mortality was observed at 2600 mg/kg bw in treated animals. Hence, the LD50 value was considered to be 2600 mg/kg bw, when rats was treated with the given test chemical via oral route.
Thus, based on the above summarised studies on test chemical, it can be concluded that LD50 value is >2000 mg/kg bw, for acute oral toxicity. Thus, comparing this value with the criteria of CLP regulation, the given test chemical cannot be classified for acute oral toxicity.
Acute Inhalation Toxicity:
The given test chemical is used as a fragrance ingredient. The inhalation exposure for test chemical is reported to be 0.00014 mg/kg/day or 0.010 mg/day (Api et al., 2018; IFRA, 2015). This is 95th percentile calculated exposure derived from concentration survey data in the Creme RIFM aggregate exposure model. Also, the vapour pressure of the chemical is low (0.127 mmHg). Hence this end point is considered for waiver.
Acute Dermal Toxicity:
In different studies, the given test chemical has been investigated for acute dermal toxicity to a greater or lesser extent. Often are the studies based on in-vivo experiments in rodents, i.e. most commonly in rats and rabbits for test chemical. The studies are summarized as below -
The reported study was designed and conducted to determine the acute dermal toxicity profile of the given test chemical as per OECD Guideline 402 (Acute Dermal Toxicity) in Wistar rats.
Five male and five female healthy young adult rats were randomly selected and used for conducting acute dermal toxicity study. Rats free from injury and irritation of skin were selected for the study. Approximately, twenty four hours prior to dermal application of test item, greater than 10% of body surface area of each rat was clipped. A limit dose of 2000 mg/ kg body weight based on the test item density (1.05513) and latest body weight was applied by single dermal application and observed for 14 days after treatment.
On test day 0, calculated volume of test item was applied directly on the intact skin of clipped area of rats; the porous gauze dressing was put on to the intact skin of clipped area. This porous gauze dressing was covered with a non-irritating tape. After the 24-hour application period, the dressings were removed and the skin was gently wiped with distilled water. The skin reactions were assessed.
The animals were observed daily for mortality and clinical signs, during the acclimatization period and post dosing till the termination. All animals were observed for clinical signs at approximately 1, 2, 3 and 4 hours after treatment on day 0 and once daily during test days 1‑14. Mortality was recorded after application on test day 0 and twice daily during days 1-14 (at least once on the day of sacrifice). Local signs / Skin reactions were observed daily from test days 1-14 (in common with clinical signs). Body weights were recorded on day 0 (prior to application) and on day 7 and 14. All animals were necropsied and examined macroscopically.
No mortality was observed in any animal till the end of the experimental period. At 2000 mg/kg, all the animals were observed normal throughout the experimental period. Mean body weight was observed with gain on day 7 and 14 of male and female animals, as compared to day 0. The external and internal gross pathological observation of all terminally sacrificed animals did not show any pathological abnormality.
Hence, the LD50 value was considered to be >2000 mg/kg bw, when male and female wistar rats were occlusively treated with test chemical by dermal application following 14 days of observation period according to OECD Guideline 402 (Acute Dermal Toxicity).
Another study mentioned in publication, handbooks and authoritative databases was carried out to determine the acute dermal toxicity dose by using the given test chemical in rabbits at the dose concentration range of 1670-3430 mg/kg bw. Animals were observed for mortality. 50% mortality was observed at 2400 mg/kg bw in treated animals. Hence, the value was considered to be 2400 mg/kg bw, with 95% confidence limits of 150-4700 mg/kg bw, when rabbits was treated with the given test chemical by dermal application.
Thus, based on the above summarised studies for test chemical, it can be concluded that LD50 value is >2000 mg/kg bw, for acute dermal toxicity. Thus, comparing this value with the criteria of CLP regulation, the given test chemical cannot be classified for acute dermal toxicity.
Justification for classification or non-classification
Based on the above studies for the test chemical, it can be concluded that LD50 value is >2000 mg/kg bw, for acute oral and acute dermal toxicity. Thus, comparing this value with the criteria of CLP regulation, the given test chemical cannot be classified for acute oral and acute dermal toxicity. For acute inhalation toxicity wavier was added so, not possible to classify.
