Remarks:
2,2',6,6'-Tetrabromo-4,4'-isopropylidenediphenol, oligomeric reaction products with Propylene oxide and n-butyl glycidyl ether (= N 8424-2) obtained from a solvent-based manufacturing process is not isolated throughout the process. The solvent-free N 8424-2 is a solid which would significantly complicate the manufacturing process. Beyond that N 8424-2 is not marketed as such. At the end of the process a blend of 53 weight-% N 8424-2 and 47 weight-% of a corresponding PO adduct of the alkylene oxide reactive solvent are dissolved in Tris(chloroisopropyl) phosphate (TCPP) to facilitate handling of the substance by downstream users and to improve the flame-retardant action. 70% of the blend (N 8424-2 and corresponding PO adduct of the alkylene oxide reactive solvent) and 30% TCPP represent the commercial product for which a base set of toxicological information was already available. Further, analysis of the toxicity profile of the solvents in the commercial product demonstrates that the available studies with the commercial product, which contains 37% N 8424-2 (0.7 x 53%), is sufficient for an adequate hazard characterisation of N 8424-2.

Executive summary:

The LD50 for 2,2',6,6'-Tetrabromo-4,4'-isopropylidenediphenol, oligomeric reaction products with Propylene oxide and n-butyl glycidyl ether was thus calculated to be approx. 732 mg/kg bw based on the the LD50 = 1977 mg/kg (female rat) of the commercial product which was determined according to OECD TG 401 (Gardner, 1989). Groups of five male and five female rats were dosed with the undiluted test material by gavage. Rats of all dose levels showed unkempt appearance first apparent at intervals from within 1.5 hours after dosing to day 2 and diarrhoe from day 2. From the mortality data the LD50 -values were calculated to be 4359 mg/kg (male) and 1977 mg/kg (female).

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Executive summary:

The LD50 for 2the Test item was calculated to be approx. 1977 mg/kg bw based on the the LD50 in female rat determined according to OECD TG 401 (Gardner, 1989). Groups of five male and five female rats were dosed with the undiluted test material by gavage. Rats of all dose levels showed unkempt appearance first apparent at intervals from within 1.5 hours after dosing to day 2 and diarrhoe from day 2. From the mortality data the LD50 -values were calculated to be 4359 mg/kg (male) and 1977 mg/kg (female).
