- Details on test animals or test system and environmental conditions:
- The rats were housed in an air-conditioned room of about 25m2 in the Institute of Toxicology. Lighting was controlled by a timer to provide a 12 hour light - 12 hour dark regime.
The rats were kept separately in type III Makrolon cages with a shelter, placed on mobile racks. Conventional softwood granulate was used as the bedding. One day bedore treatment, and up to 24 hours after dosing, metal grids were placed above the softwood granulate. The cages and the metal grid had been machine-cleaned before the start of the experimental part. The bedding was changed two times per week.
Tempearture and humidity were measured using a thermohygrograph. The room temperature during the experimental period was 21 to 25 °C and the relative atmospheric humidity 51 to 83 %. The temperature and the relative atmospheric humidity in the animal room was transiently outside the target range of 20 to 24 °C and 45 to 75 %. This minor and short deviation did not influence the integrity of the study.
Diet was withheld from about 17 hours before until up to 4 hours after treatment. At all other times food and community tap water from Makrolon drinking bottles were available to the rats ad libitum.
The diet (Art. 3433 for mice and rats, Provimi Kliba AG) was checked according to the specifications of the manufacturer. Analysis included both qualitative and quantitative evaluation for heavy metals, aflatoxins, pesticides, and antibiotics.
The drinking water was periodically analyzed according to the German regulations for human drinking water.

Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Interpretation of results:
- GHS criteria not met
- Conclusions:
- Based on the result of this study, it is considered that Gadoliniumsulfite trihydrate has no toxic potential and that the LD50 value is higher than 2000 mg/kg afteroral treatment in rats.
- Executive summary:
Gadoliniumsulfite trihydrate was tested for acute toxicity in rats after oral administration of 2000 mg/kg body weight. Directly before administration the test material was prepared with aqueous Methocel® K4M Premium solution as the vehicle. This study was performed according to the "Acute toxic class method" (ATC). No signs oftoxicity were detected in the rats (3 males and 3 females) after treatment with 2000 mg/kg. There were no deaths during the course ofthe study. The gross pathological examination revealed no organ alterations. Based on the result of this study, it is considered that Gadoliniumsulfite trihydrate has no toxic potential and that the LD50 value is higher than 2000 mg/kg after oral treatment in rats.
