Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
practically nontoxic
Remarks:
Migrated informationCriteria used for interpretation of results: EU
Conclusions:
The acute oral LD50 for the test chemical Basic Blue 99 is found to be between 2700 mg/kg.
Executive summary:
Acute oral toxicity study was performed on

10 male CF1 mice at six dose levels between1580 -5010 mg/kg bw at a dosage volume of 20 ml/kg body weight.

Animals were observed for 7 days. Immediately following Basic Blue 99 administration decreased activity, increased breathing, and tremors were noted at doses of 1580 mg/Kg and greater.

The acute oral LD50 for the test chemical Basic Blue 99 is found to be between 2700 mg/kg.

According to the CLP classification, the test material does not classify as an acute oral toxicant.
