Results and discussion

Effect levels

Sex:

male/female

Dose descriptor:

LD50

Effect level:

> 5 100 mg/kg bw

Based on:

test mat.

Remarks on result:

other: Original value: LD50: > 5000 ml/kg, 14 days LD50; equals LD50: > 5100 mg/kg with a density of 1.02 g/cm³

Mortality:

No mortality observed.

Clinical signs:

other: The sample induced in the tested dosage obvious disturbed awareness with apathy, mainly obvious disturbance of coordination with abnormal body posture, slight reduced reflex excitability, slight piloerection and partly slight decreased respiration rate. T

Other findings:

No macroscopic findings in the cranial-, thoracic- and abdominal cavity.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:

study cannot be used for classification

Remarks:

Migrated information

Conclusions:

According to the test result: LD50(14days) > 5100 mg/kg bw the test substance Ethyltriglycol methacrylate has to be classified as nontoxic in
respect of its acute oral toxicity.

Executive summary:

In an acute oral toxicity study according to OECD 401, a group of fasted male and female SPF Wistar rats were given a single oral dose of Ethyltriglycol methacrylate at a limit dose of 5000 ml/kg bw and observed for 14days.

 

Oral LD₅₀Combined = > 5000 ml/kg bw equals ca. 5100  mg/kg  bw

OECD GHS Category 5 ranges from 2000 -5000 mg/kg bw and represents the lowest hazard category for classifying the acute oral toxicity of a chemical substance. ("Criteria for hazard Category 5 are intended to enable the identification of the test substances which are of relatively low acute toxicity hazard but which, under certain circumstances may present a danger to vulnerable populations". (OECD guideline 425 annex 4)).

    

Based on the results of this study ( LD50 limit test in male and female rats) Ethyltriglycol methacrylate is not classified according to EU-GHS and OECD GHS criteria.
