Additional information

Oral Route

The available in vivo data on acute oral toxicity (publications) were used to assess the acute oral toxicity of the test item in a weight of evidence approach.

The assessment of the acute oral toxicity of the test item is based on avaiblable already published in vivo data in rat and rabbit. The LD50 values in rat are comparable (4570 mg/kg bw, reference 7.2.1-1; 4600 mg/kg bw, reference 7.2.1-2; 4600 mg/kg bw, reference 7.2.1-3). Rabbits seem to be more sensible for acute oral toxicity (LD50 > 2360, < 3540 mg/kg bw, reference 7.2.1-4). However, the general acute oral toxicity of the test substance has to be valuated as low. As consequence and in accordance to REACH Regulation (EG) No 1907/2006, Annex XI (1), the classification for acute oral toxicity is based on the available data. Additionally, in the interests of animal welfare and avoidance of unnecessary in vivo experiments, no in vivo study was performend recently. The values do not meet the GLP criteria for classification (UN GHS: No Category). Therefore, no further in vivo or in vitro studies were performed.

Inhalative Route

The toxicological properties of the test item were reviewed and summarised, presenting the following available data of the test item [1]. In a publication albino rats (n = 6) were exposed for 4 h to the test item [2]. After exposure the rats were observed for 14 days. A mortality of 2-4/6 was observed, depending on the dose group. Accordingly, a LCLo of 4000 ppm was determined. In another publication an LC50 of 1.94E+4 mg/m³ was determined [3].

Dermal Route

The toxicological properties of the test item were reviewed and summarised, presenting the following available data of the test item [1]. In a report to RIFM, an LD50 of above 5 g/kg bw was reported [4]. Furthermore, in rabbits an LD50 of 10 mL/kg bw was calculated [5].

Justification for classification or non-classification

Classification, Labeling, and Packaging Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008

The available experimental test data are suitable for classification purposes under Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008.

As a result the test item is not considered to be classified for acute oral toxicity under Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008, as amended for the tenth time in Regulation (EU) No 2017/776.
