- Executive summary:
In order to assess the acute oral toxicity potential of the test substance an OECD 423 test was performed in 2004. Two groups consisting of three female rats each, were treated with the substance by oral gavage administration at a dosage of 2000 mg/kg body weight. The vehicle was PEG300.
There were no deaths as a result of treatment with the test article. No clinical signs of toxicity were observed during the observation period. The body weight of the animals was within the physiological range of variability known for rats of this strain and age. No macroscopic findings were observed at necropsy.
The mean lethal dose of the substance after single oral administration to female rats, observed over a period of 14 days, could not be estimated. It can therefore be concluded that the LD50 is greater than 2000 mg/kg bw.

Additional information
Two valid acute toxicity studies, oral and dermal, have been conducted with the registration substance.
The mean lethal dose of the substance after single oral administration to female rats, observed over a period of 14 days, could not be estimated. It can therefore be concluded that the LD50 is greater than 2000 mg/kg bw.
The mean lethal dose of the substance after single dermal administration to rats of both sexes, observed over a period of 14 days, could not be estimated. It can therefore be concluded that the LD50 is greater than 2000 mg/kg.
No study for acute inhalation toxicity is available. The test material is non- volatile and produced and handled in industry exclusively in aqueous solutions. There are no spraying operations. The likely route of human exposure to the substance is the dermal route. The test substance is of low toxicity after oral and dermal application to rats and exhibits no skin- or eye irritating potential. It is not a skin sensitizer in an LLNA test. Further, in a 28-day repeated oarl toxicity study in rats the substance has a NOAEL of 1000 mg/kg body weight. Thus, neither exposure via inhalation nor risks are expected via the inhalation route.
Justification for selection of acute toxicity – oral endpoint
The selected study was performed under GLP and in accordance with OECD TG 423. No other studies are available.
Justification for selection of acute toxicity – inhalation endpoint
According to "Column 2" in Annex VIII of Regulation (EC) No. 1907/2006 an acute inhalation toxicity study is not necessary because exposure of humans via inhalation is considered unlikely taking into account the vapour pressure and the physical form of the substance. Inhalation is not an exposure route of concern. As two endpoint studies on the most relevant exposure routes - an acute oral toxicity study as well as an acute dermal toxicity study - are available, testing for acute inhalation toxicity is not justified for scientific reasons as specified in the ECHA guidance on information requirements, Chapter R.7a (endpoint specific guidance, R.7.4.6.3).
Justification for selection of acute toxicity – dermal endpoint
The selected study was performed under GLP and in accordance with OECD TG 402. No other studies are available.
Justification for classification or non-classification
No adverse effect observed after acute oral application of the test substance at a dose of 2000 mg/kg bw.
No adverse effect observed after acute dermal application of the test substance at a dose of 2000 mg/kg bw.
