- Executive summary:
The acute oral toxicity of the test material was investigated in accordance with FIFRA and TSCA guidelines using male and female Sprague-Dawley derived rats.
Five animals per sex were dosed at the following concentrations: 600, 800, 1200, 1700 and 2500 mg/kg and then observed for 21 days. All animals were subjected to gross post-mortem examinations when they died during the study or when the study finished.
At 600 mg/kg 1 animal died, at 800 mg/kg 3 animals died, at 1200 mg/kg 2 animals died, at 1700 mg/kg 6 animals died and at 2500 mg/kg 5 animals died.
Signs seen in most or all groups included ataxia, hypo activity, red or clear oral, nasal or ocular discharge, wet rales, urinary and/or faecal staining, soft stool, unthrifty coat, hypopnea, hypothermia, food consumption decrease, emaciation and partially closed eyes. By Day 7 the incidence of abnormalities had subsided in animals dosed at the 600, 800, 1200 and 1700 mg/kg levels, although one animal in the 800 mg/kg dose group exhibited an unthrifty coat, emaciation, hypo activity and decreased food consumption for most of the post-dose period. Some survivors at the 2500 mg/kg level exhibited unthrifty coats, alopecia, abdominal griping, emaciation, hypo activity and food consumption decrease for much of the post-dose period. Most animals were free of significant abnormalities by study termination (Day 21), however. Animals that died exhibited substantial ante mortem weight losses, and several surviving animals exhibited weight losses at Day 7. However, all survivors gained weight between Days 7 and 21.
Post-mortem examinations of animals found dead revealed a variety of changes, primarily in the lungs (discolouration), adrenals (reddened), gastrointestinal tract (stomach and intestinal walls - discoloured, containing red or black fluid) and testes (found in body cavity).
Under the conditions of this study the acute oral LD50 of the test material is 1800 mg/kg with 95 % confidence interval of 1040 to 2560 mg/kg.

- Details on inhalation exposure:
- - The dynamically operated inhalation system consists of the generator unit for generating the inhaled air saturated with test material vapour and the exposure unit for the absorption and exposure of the test animals.
- The compressed air of the household network was passed through two parallel special gas washed bottles after passing through a fine dust filter, pressure stabiliser, volume regulator and volume meter. These washed bottles were each equipped with G1 glass frits.
- The filling quantity of the special gas washed bottles over the frit was kept constant by means of a level control. The washed bottles as well as a glass tube coil for temperature pre-stabilisation of the air were in a temperature-controlled water bath in which had a temperature of 20 ± 0.2°C was maintained.
- After leaving the gas washed bottles, the steam was now saturated with test material steam. Air passed into two tube-shaped inhalation chambers.
- These inhalation chambers consisted of a glass tube (diameter 150 mm, length 1000 mm) with detachable end pieces and an insertable grid frame, which subdivided the upper part of the glass tube into 10 segments (1 animal per segment). The grid frame was resting on a half-blade made of stainless steel for excrement recording. The air / steam mixture emanating from the chambers was passed into the flue.
- The temperature and relative humidity in the chambers were monitored. - Analytical verification of test atmosphere concentrations:

- Group 2: Male mean body weight increased from 158 to 275 g during the study and female mean bodyweight increased from 140 to 200 g. - Gross pathology:
- All male and female animals were suspected of slight thymus enlargement, which however can neither be quantified nor interpreted as a test material defect, since no control group was carried in the experiment.
- Interpretation of results:
- study cannot be used for classification
- Conclusions:
- Under the conditions of this study following a 7 hour treatment, no mortality occurred. In some animals, a temporary conjunctivitis was observed during the post-treatment period.
- Executive summary:
The acute inhalation toxicity of the test material was investigated in a study using male and female Wistar rats.
Animals whole bodies were continually exposed to the test material at steam saturated in air for a period of 7 hours in an inhalation chamber. They were observed during this treatment time and for 14 days afterwards.
No mortalities occurred during the treatment or observation periods. Some of the animals showed conjunctivitis during 14-day observation period. Body weights increased during the observation period.
Following the 14 days observation period the animals were sacrificed and necropsy performed. All animals were suspected of slight thymus enlargement, which however can neither be quantified nor interpreted as a test material defect, since no control group was carried in the experiment.
Under the conditions of this study following a 7 hour treatment, no mortality occurred. In some animals, a temporary conjunctivitis was observed during the post-treatment period.

ORAL TOXICITY STUDIES
Gunzel (1969)
The acute oral toxicity of the test material was investigated in a study similar to OECD 401, using male and female Sprague-Dawley rats.
The study was awarded a reliability score of 2 in accordance with the criteria set forth by Klimisch et al. (1997).
Five animals per sex per dose were treated at 0.5, 1.0, 1.4, 2.0, 2.8 and 4.0 g/kg test material and then observed for 13 days. After 13 days surviving animals were killed and autopsy was performed. Autopsy was also performed on animals that dies during the observation period.
Mortality was observed between 1 and 11 days after application of the test material. At 0.50 g/kg 2/10 animals died, at 1.0 g/kg 5/10 animals died, at 1.40 g/kg 4/10 animals died, at 2.00 g/kg 9/10 and at 2.80 g/kg and 4.00 g/kg all animals died during the observation period.
General apathy, cachexia, bloody noses and isolated comas were observed during the study. Emaciations, gastric ulcer,hereditary pneumonia and enteritis were seen on autopsy in the animals that died during the study.
Under the conditions of this study the acute oral toxicity LD50 was 1100 mg/kg.
Oral (Bathe, 1980)
The acute oral toxicity of the test material was investigated in a study similar to OECD 401, using male and female Tif: RAIF rats. The study was awarded a reliability score of 2 in accordance with the criteria set forth by Klimisch et al. (1997).
Five animals per sex per dose were treated at 1000, 2000, 5000 and 7000 mg/kg test material formulated in poly ethylene glycol 400. Animals were fasted overnight before treatment. The animals were observed for 14 days following treatment.

Auletta (1984)
The acute oral toxicity of the test material was investigated in accordance with FIFRA and TSCA guidelines using male and female Sprague-Dawley derived rats. The study was awarded a reliability score of 2 in accordance with the criteria set forth by Klimisch et al. (1997).
Five animals per sex were dosed at the following concentrations: 600, 800, 1200, 1700 and 2500 mg/kg and then observed for 21 days. All animals were subjected to gross post-mortem examinations when they died during the study or when the study finished.
At 600 mg/kg 1 animal died, at 800 mg/kg 3 animals died, at 1200 mg/kg 2 animals died, at 1700 mg/kg 6 animals died and at 2500 mg/kg 5 animals died.
Signs seen in most or all groups included ataxia, hypo activity, red or clear oral, nasal or ocular discharge, wet rales, urinary and/or faecal staining, soft stool, unthrifty coat, hypopnea, hypothermia, food consumption decrease, emaciation and partially closed eyes. By Day 7 the incidence of abnormalities had subsided in animals dosed at the 600, 800, 1200 and 1700 mg/kg levels, although one animal in the 800 mg/kg dose group exhibited an unthrifty coat, emaciation, hypo activity and decreased food consumption for most of the post-dose period. Some survivors at the 2500 mg/kg level exhibited unthrifty coats, alopecia, abdominal griping, emaciation, hypo activity and food consumption decrease for much of the post-dose period. Most animals were free of significant abnormalities by study termination (Day 21), however. Animals that died exhibited substantial ante mortem weight losses, and several surviving animals exhibited weight losses at Day 7. However, all survivors gained weight between Days 7 and 21.
Post-mortem examinations of animals found dead revealed a variety of changes, primarily in the lungs (discolouration), adrenals (reddened), gastrointestinal tract (stomach and intestinal walls - discoloured, containing red or black fluid) and testes (found in body cavity).
Under the conditions of this study the acute oral LD50 of the test material is 1800 mg/kg with 95 % confidence interval of 1040 to 2560 mg/kg.

Five animals per sex per dose were treated at 0.5, 1.2, 1.9, 2.6, 3.3 and 4.0 g/kg and observed for 22 days. Following this period animals were subjected to gross necropsy.
At 0.5 g/kg no animals died. At 1.2 g/kg 2 females died. At 1.9 g/kg 1 male and 2 females died. At 2.6 g/kg 1 male and 3 females died. At 3.3 g/kg 1 male and 3 females died. At 4.0 g/kg 4 males and 3 females died. At 1.9 g/kg 2 to 4 hours after application low to high-grade apathy was seen with increasing intensity. On the following days from the 1.2 g/kg dose upwards the following were observed: low to high grade apathy, coarse fur and low to high degree emaciation.
Hyperemia in the lungs and hemorrhagic-catarrhal gastroenteritis was seen at all dose levels at autopsy. At 3.3 g/kg additional partial gastritis and liver necrosis was seen.
Under the conditions of this study the acute oral LD50 of the test material is 3100 mg/kg with 95 % confidence interval of 2300 to 6400 mg/kg.
Hine and Banks
The acute oral toxicity of the test material was investigated in a study with rats. The study was awarded a reliability score of 4 in accordance with the criteria set forth by Klimisch et al. (1997).
Six groups of ten animals were dosed with the test material via intragastrical injection following an overnight fasting period at doses ranging from 0.4 to 7.5 g/kg. Animals were then observed for 30 days.
Under the conditions of the study the acute oral LD50 of the test material was 1000 mg/kg.
Read-across to structurally similar substance Dioctyltin bis (2-ethylhexylmercaptoacetate) (DOTE) (CAS No. 15571-58-1).
An acute oral toxicity to rat study (OECD 401) was carried out with a mixture of DOT (2 -EHMA) and MOT(2 -EHMA) (90:10%) . Two doses were tested (single dose of 1000 and 2000 mg/kg bw/d) with a 14 -days observation period. Animals in both dose groups exhibited clinical signs of toxicity and effects on mortality were observed. The LD50 was lower for female rats, the overall LD50 was 2000 mg/kg bw .
INHALATION TOXICITY
Gunzel (1978)
The acute inhalation toxicity of the test material was investigated in a study using male and female Wistar rats. The study was awarded a reliability score of 2 in accordance with the criteria set forth by Klimisch et al. (1997).
Animals whole bodies were continually exposed to the test material (a mixture of 80% registered substance (DOTI) and 20% MOTI (CAS 26401-86-5))
at steam saturated in air for a period of 7 hours in an inhalation chamber. They were observed during this treatment time and for 14 days afterwards.
No mortalities occurred during the treatment or observation periods. Some of the animals showed conjunctivitis during 14-day observation period. Body weights increased during the observation period.
Following the 14 days observation period the animals were sacrificed and necropsy performed. All animals were suspected of slight thymus enlargement, which however can neither be quantified nor interpreted as a test material defect, since no control group was carried in the experiment.
Under the conditions of this study following a 7 hour treatment, no mortality occurred. In some animals, a temporary conjunctivitis was observed during the post-treatment period.
DERMAL TOXICITY
Read-across to structurally similar substance (DOTE) (CAS No 15571 -58 -1)
The acute dermal toxicity of the test material to rats was investigated in accordance with the standardised guideline OECD 402, under GLP conditions. The study was awarded a reliability score of 1 in accordance with the criteria set forth by Klimisch et al. (1997).
The test was carried out with a mixture of DOT(2 -EHMA) and Octyltin tris(2-EHMA) (90:10 % w/w).
The test dose was 2000 mg/kg bw; the dose volume applied was 2 mL/kg bw. After 24 hours, the exposed skin was cleaned and the area of application was observed for 14 days.
Due to the lack of observed mortality, the 14-day acute dermal LD50s of the test substance were reported as: LD50 (males) >2000 mg/kg bw LD50 (females) >2000 mg/kg bw LD50 (both sexes) >2000 mg/kg bw.
Under the conditions of this study, the acute dermal toxicity LD50 (rat) of the test material was >2000 mg/kg bw(both sexes).
Justification for classification or non-classification
In accordance with the criteria for classification as defined in Annex I, Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008, the substance does not require classification with respect to acute inhalation and dermal toxicity. However, the LD50 of the substance was determined in the key study to be 1800 mg/kg bw and as such the substance requires classification as Cat 4 with regards to its acute oral toxicity and is assigned H302: Harmful if swallowed.
