Endpoint:
acute toxicity: oral
Type of information:

Adequacy of study:
key study
Study period:
09 October 1986 - 23 October 1986
Reliability:
1 (reliable without restriction)
Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
other: Reliability 1 is assigned because the study is conducted according to OECD TG 401 (but there is no data on compliance with GLP), without deviations that influence the quality of the results.

Results and discussion

Effect levels
Sex:
male/female
Dose descriptor:
LD50
Effect level:
> 5 000 mg/kg bw
Based on:
test mat.
Remarks on result:
other: No mortality observed
Mortality:
No mortality was observed.
Clinical signs:
other: Pilo-erection, abnormal body carriage (hunched posture), abnormal gait (waddling), lethargy, pallor of the extremities and diarrhoea were observed in all rats on the day of dosing. On day 2 pilo-erection persisted in all rats. There were no other clinical
Gross pathology:
Terminal autopsy findings were normal.

Any other information on results incl. tables

Results of the preliminary study indicated that the acute median lethal oral dose of Floral Super was >5000 mg/kg bw, as no mortality was observed in the treated animals (2 males, 2 females).

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
not classified
Remarks:
Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
Conclusions:
The acute oral toxicity test showed an LD50 of >5000 mg/kg bw. Based on these results, the substance does not need to be classified for acute oral toxicity according to EU classification criteria.
Executive summary:

In this study, 10 rats (5 males and 5 females) were administered the substance at a single dose level of 5000 mg/kg bw. The rats showed no mortality, but some clinical signs were noted on the first 2 days after dosing. A body weight increase was noted in all rats during the observation period (14 days). Necropsy was performed by opening the abdominal and thoracic cavities and checking the macroscopic appearance of the organs, but no abnormalities were found. The acute oral LD50 for the substance in male and female rats was determined to be >5000 mg/kg bw.
