The new ECHA CHEM database has been released by ECHA, and it now contains all REACH registration data. There are more details on the transition of ECHA's published data to ECHA CHEM here.

20 mg/kg bw/day

Additional information

Male and female rats were exposed to the test substance for 90 days by oral gavage at doses of 0, 5, 10 and 20 mg/kg bw/day. The NOEL for both sexes was 5 mg/kg. Although the observations seen at the 10 and 20 mg/kg dose level were attributed to the test substance, they were considered to reflect a state of general malaise, supported by the concurrent clinical observation of lethargy, and were not considered to be neurotoxic. On the basis of these data, the no-observable effect level (NOEL) for the test substance in both the male and female rats was 5 mg/kg. None of the effects seen in this study at the 10 and 20 mg/kg dose levels were considered to be neurotoxic. Therefore, the no-observable adverse effect level (NOAEL) for the study endpoint (neurotoxicity) is 20 mg/kg for both male and female rats.

Justification for classification or non-classification

The test substance did not produce adverse effects that would require classification according to EU Classification, Labelling and Packaging of Substances and Mixtures (CLP) Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008.
