Additional information

Testing on the above endpoints gave the following results:

 

Acute toxicity: Oral.

 

3 studies are available for the derivation of LD50 acute oral toxicity as follows:

 

LD 50: > 5000 mg/kg

 

LD 50: > 20000 mg/kg

 

LD 50: 21 ml/kg bodyweight 

 

All 3 studies are considered to be lacking in certain data requirements; however despite being studies conducted at different times there is an equivalent toxicological profiles and value as not hazardous for this endpoint. Hence, on the basis of a weight of evidence approach, it is considered that applicable of oral LD50 values results in no classification. A fourth study offered as supporting information are not considered relevant given that definitive values have been obtained in the first 3 studies.

 

Acute toxicity: Dermal.

 

Two main studies are presented for this endpoint as follows:

 

LD50: >10000 mg/kg

 

LD50: >200 mg/kg

 

Both studies conducted at different times show equivalent toxicological profiles and values; hence it is considered that application of the LD50 values results in no classification. 

 

Acute toxicity: Inhalation.

 

 Two studies are again presented for this endpoint as follows:

 

LC50 (1-hour): >200 mg/l (air)

 

LC 50 (1-hour) 2 mg/l (air)

 

Neither study in isolation is suitable for hazard assessment for this endpoint; however given the low volatility of the substance, extensive exposure by inhalation is not anticipated. There is the potential for exposure by inhalation from some of the categories of use; however as these are as a result of the substance as a component of a product at low level, plus the fact that PPE during use of such products is recommended, it is considered that exposure by inhalation will not pose a hazard. In addition, the dermal route of exposure is considered more appropriate for exposure to the substance, given the nature and conditions of usage.

Justification for classification or non-classification

The above studies have all been ranked reliability 2 or 3 according to the Klimisch et al system. This ranking was deemed appropriate because the studies were not conducted to GLP or in compliance with agreed protocols. The reports do not detail a specific method; however these document dose levels and responses in detail, so is deemed appropriate for use in the support of a formal registration. Sufficient dose ranges and numbers are detailed; hence it is appropriate for use based on reliability and animal welfare grounds.

Justification for classification or non classification

The above results triggered no classification under the Dangerous Substance Directive (67/548/EEC) and the CLP Regulation (EC No 1272/2008). No classification for acute effects is therefore required.
