- Groups of two male and two female Alderley Park SPF albino rats were used, bodyweight range 240-253g for males and 181-203g for females. The animals were fasted for a period of up to 24 hours immediately prior to dosing.
Preparations of the test sample, in corn oil, were then dosed at a standard volume of 10 mL/kg. On Day 1 single doses of 25, 200 and 2000 mg/kg were administered by stomach tube to separate groups of animals. The animals were observed daily up to Day 8 and then on Day 15. At the end of the study the animals were humanely killed by inhalation of excessive levels of halothane BP and were examined by necropsy for any macroscopic abnormalities. The acute oral median lethal dose was estimated from the mortality data. - GLP compliance:

Additional information
Reliable, relevant and adequate data are available for the acute oral toxicity of Reaction mass of dodecyl methacrylate and tridecyl methacrylate.
Acute oral toxicity
The acute oral median lethal dose (LD50 cut-off value) of Reaction mass of dodecyl methacrylate and tridecyl methacrylate in Wistar rats was determined to be 5000 mg/kg body weight.
In an acute oral toxicity study, groups of fasted, young adult Alderley Park SPF albino rats 2/sex/dose were given a single oral dose of Reaction mass of dodecyl methacrylate and tridecyl methacrylate in corn oil at doses of 25, 200 and 2000 mg/kg bw and observed for 15 days.
None of the animals died and there were no significant signs of toxicity.
Oral LD50 Males/Females >2000 mg/kg bw
The source substance Dodecyl methacrylate, which is used as read-across substance for the endpoint repeated dose toxicity and toxicity to reproduction, was of comparably low toxicity after single administration.
In an acute oral toxicity study according to OECD guideline 401 (Limit test), groups of fasted male and female SPF Wistar rats were given a single oral dose of Dodecyl methacrylate (purity: 97%) at a dose of 5000 mg/kg bw and observed for 14 days. Oral LD50 Combined = > 5000 mg/kg bw
Acute inhalation toxicity
A study on acute inhalation toxicity is unjustified in accordance to REACH regulation Annex XI due to scientific considerations. Results of laboratory animal studies show a low acute toxicity after oral exposure. Therefore, the acute intrinsic toxic activity of Tridecyl methacrylate is considered to be low. The occurrence of a systemic toxicity relevant to humans after inhalation is unlikely and therefore the conduct of an acute inhalation toxicity study is unjustified. Thus, also animal welfare is respected according to REACH intentions.
Acute dermal toxicity
The testing of acute dermal toxicity of Reaction mass of dodecyl methacrylate and tridecyl methacrylate is scientifically not justified. According to the COMMISSION REGULATION (EU) 2016/863 of 31 May 2016 amending Annexes VII and VIII to Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 of the European Parliament and of the Council on the Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation and Restriction of Chemicals (REACH) as regards skin corrosion/irritation, serious eye damage/eye irritation, skin sensitisation and acute toxicity, recent “scientific analysis of available data from in vivo acute toxicity studies have shown that substances that are not toxic via the oral route may be expected with high certainty to be also non-toxic via the dermal route. Therefore, testing those substances via the dermal route does not provide essential information for their safety assessment.” The oral LD50 was determined to be > 2000 mg/kg bw. Thus, no toxicity via the dermal route is to be expected.
There are no data gaps in acute toxicity. Even though there is no information on acute toxicity in humans, there is no reason to believe that the low acute toxicity observed in experimental animals would not be relevant for human health.
Based on the available data, Reaction mass of dodecyl methacrylate and tridecyl methacrylate does not need to be classified for acute toxicity according to regulation (EC) 1272/2008. Thus, no labelling is required.
Justification for classification or non-classification
Based on the available data, Reaction mass of dodecyl methacrylate and tridecyl methacrylate does not need to be classified for acute toxicity according to regulation (EC) 1272/2008. Thus, no labelling is required.
