Description of key information
Since the results of the acute oral and dermal toxicity studies revealed a LD50 of > 10000 mg/kg bw and > 2500 mg/kg bw, respectively, it can be concluded that the test item has a low acute toxicity. Similar results were obtained in the acute inhalation toxicity study and by the administration via intraperitoneal injection. Thereby no mortality was observed and a LC0 of 0.68 mg/L (inhalation) and a LD50 of > 10000 mg/kg bw (intraperitoneal injection) was determined.

The test demonstrates the toxicity of an atmosphere enriched with dust of the test substance at room temperature.

Additional information
Acute oral toxicity
In the key acute oral toxicity study (BASF AG, 1976/2002, equivalent to OECD 401), groups of 5 Sprague-Dawley rats per dose level were exposed by single oral gavage to the test item (vehicle: carboxymethyl cellulose) in concentrations of 1000 mg/kg bw (6.7 mL/kg bw) and 10000 mg/kg bw (28.5 mL/kg bw). Animals were observed for 7 days. One animal died at the highest dose group. Gross pathology revealed substance residue in the thorax of the death animal. Blue colouring of faeces was observed in all dose groups which was fully reversible within two days. The oral LD50 was determined to be > 10000 mg/kg bw in male and female rats.
Acute inhalation toxicity
In an acute inhalation toxicity study (BASF AG, 1979/2002, equivalent to OECD 403), a group of three rats was exposed by inhalation route (whole body) to the test item for 8 hours at a single concentration of 0.68 mg/L (nominal concentration was calculated as a quotient of the amount of test substance weight loss and the amount of air used during exposure). A control group was treated only with air. Animals then were observed for 8 days. No animal died. The animals showed slight irritations of mucous membranes which were reversible within 3 days. The LC0 was 0.68 mg/L (nominal) after 8 hours.
Acute dermal toxicity
In an acute dermal toxicity study (BASF AG, 1976, equivalent to OECD 402) the potential of the test item to exert systemic toxicity was examined in groups of five Sprague-Dawley rats that were occlusively exposed for 24 hours and then observed for 14 days. Animals applied 2500 mg/kg bw (5 mL/kg bw). No animal died and no local or systemic signs were observed. The identified LD50 value was > 2500 mg/kg bw in male and female rats.
Other route
In an acute toxicity study (BASF AG, 1976) the test item was administered to 5mice/sex via intraperitoneal injection at a dose of 10000 mg/kg bw. Observation period was until day 7 following treatment. No mortality was observed. Gross pathology revealed intraabdominal substance residues and sporadic adhesions. Up to 2 days after application clincial signs were observed like dyspnoea, tremor and hunched body posture. Five days after application clinical signs were fully reversed. The LD50 was determined to be > 10000 mg/kg bw in male and female mice.

Justification for classification or non-classification
Based on the results of all acute toxicity studies the test item does not need to be subjected to classification and labelling according to Directive 67/548/EEC (DSD) and Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008 (CLP/GHS).The test item does not meet the criteria for specific target organ toxicity after single exposure (STOT SE) according to Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008 (CLP).
