Conclusions:

In this acute dermal toxicity study a LD50 value > 5000 mg/kg bw in male and female rats was derived.

Executive summary:

An acute dermal toxicity study was performed with male and female rats according to OECD 402 under GLP conditions. After a range-finding study with the dose levels 50, 400, 2000 and 5000 mg/kg bw, a main study with 5000 mg/kg bw was performed. No mortality occurred during the study period of the range-finding study and the main study.

In this acute dermal toxicity study a LD50 value > 5000 mg/kg bw in male and female rats was derived.

Endpoint conclusion

Endpoint conclusion:

no adverse effect observed

Quality of whole database:

The available information comprises an adequate and reliable study (Klimisch score 2). This study is not a standard information requirement set out in Annex VII of Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 and is thus considered as additional information.

Additional information

Acute oral toxicity

The acute oral toxicity of the test substance was assessed in a study according to OECD Guideline 401 and in compliance with GLP (1985). Based on a preliminary study, groups of 5 male and female rats were given a dose level of 5000 mg/kg bw via gavage. No mortality occurred during the study period up to concentrations of 5000 mg/kg bw. Signs of toxicity were observed in all rats treated with the test substance shortly after dosing, completely recovered by Day 2. Thus, a LD50 > 5000 mg/kg bw for male and female rats was determined.

Acute dermal toxicity

The acute dermal toxicity of the test substance was assessed in a study according to OECD Guideline 402 and in compliance with GLP (1985). Based on a preliminary study, groups of 5 male and female rats were treated with the test substance at a concentration of 5000 mg/kg bw. No mortality or signs of toxicity occurred during the study period. Thus, a dermal LD50 > 5000 mg/kg bw for male and female rats was determined.

Justification for classification or non-classification

The available data on acute oral and dermal toxicity do not meet the criteria for classification according to Regulation (EC) 1272/2008, and are therefore conclusive but not sufficient for classification.
