Vehicle:
unchanged (no vehicle)
Details on oral exposure:
VEHICLE
- Concentration in vehicle: undiluted
- Amount of vehicle (if gavage): The volume of administration was 1.3 ml/kg in order to obtain the dose of 2000 mg/kg the density being 1.533 g/ml.
- Justification for choice of vehicle: not applicable

MAXIMUM DOSE VOLUME APPLIED: 1.3 mL/Kg bw corrisponding to 2000 dose mg/Kg bw
Doses:
2000 mg /Kg bw
No. of animals per sex per dose:
5 males and 5 females
Control animals:
no
Details on study design:
- Duration of observation period following administration: 14 days
- Frequency of observations of clinical signs: at 30 minutes, 2, 4 and 6 hours (4 males) and at 30 minute, 2 and 4 hours (1 male and 5 females) on the first day after the administration (day 1) and then twice a day up to termination of the observation period.
- Body weighing: twice pre-trial (at randomization and on day 1 just before administration) and on days 3, 8 and 14. On day 1 the animals were weighted after 16-hour fasting. Volume of administration was based oh day 1 Body weight.
- Necropsy of survivors performed: yes
- Other examinations performed: clinical signs, body weight, gross pathology examination.

Key result
Sex:
male/female
Dose descriptor:
LD50
Effect level:
> 2 000 mg/kg bw
Based on:
test mat.
Mortality:
No animals died during the study. The LD50 was not calculated and it was considered higher than 2000mg/kg.
Clinical signs:
other: Piloerection was the only clinical sign sporadically observed in all animals only during on the third day of the study.
Gross pathology:
At the autopsy carried out at the end of the observation period no appreciable macroscopic findings were evident in any treated rat.
Other findings:
none.

Conclusions:
The LD50 of the test article, when administered to rats as a single dose by oral route, is higher than 2000 mg/kg bw.
Executive summary:

Experimental data from a toxicity study in which Sprague Dawley rats received a single oral administration of the test article at the dosage of 2000 mg/kg bw (5 males and 5 females) are given in this report.

The test method was in accordance with European Economic Community Guidelines B.1 and with OECD guidelines 401 and in compliance with GLP.

The test article was purified according to the method supplied by the Sponsor and then administered undiluted at the volume of 1.3 ml/kg in order to give the dose of 2000 mg/kg being the density 1.5333 g/ml.

All rats were treated after a 16 hours fasting period. The day of treatment was considered day 1 of the study. The animals were weighed twice before treatment (at randomization and on day 1 just before treatment) and on day 3, 8 and 14. They were clinically observed for 14 days following the treatment. On day 15 all rats were killed and submitted to a thorough autopsy.

No animals died during the study. The LD50 was higher than 2000 mg/kg bw.

There were no clinical signs or behavioral alterations during the post-treatment observation period (except for piloerection which was noted during the third day of the study).

Decrease in body weight was observed only at the day 3 weighing.

At the autopsy carried out at the end of the observation period no appreciable macroscopic findings were evident in any treated rat.

Endpoint conclusion
Endpoint conclusion:
no adverse effect observed

Additional information

An oral toxicity study, performed on the test item 1,2-dichloro-1-fluoro-2-trifluoromethoxy-ethene according to OECD guideline 401, is reported.

The highest fixed dose administered without causing any lethality or adverse effects to male and female rats was 2000 mg/kg bw.

Justification for classification or non-classification

According to Regulation EC No. 1272/2008, the substance does not meet the classification criteria for oral acute toxicity.
