Type of information:

other: experimental result from similar substance

Adequacy of study:

key study

Study period:

From 20 march to 10 april 2007

Reliability:

2 (reliable with restrictions)

Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:

other: Test acceptable for the assessment

Qualifier:

according to guideline

Guideline:

OECD Guideline 420 (Acute Oral Toxicity - Fixed Dose Method)

Deviations:

no

GLP compliance:

no

This study was conducted in a facility operating to Good Laboratory Practice within the UK national GLP monitoring programme, but the study report has not been audited by the QA Unit. No formal claim of GLP compliance is made for this study.

Test type:

fixed dose procedure

Limit test:

yes

Species:

rat

Strain:

Sprague-Dawley

Sex:

female

Route of administration:

oral: unspecified

Vehicle:

arachis oil

Details on oral exposure:

VEHICLEDose of test material was administrated as a suspension in arachis oil BP at a dose level of 2000 mg/kg body weight

Doses:

Single oral dose of 2000 mglkg,

No. of animals per sex per dose:

4 females

Details on study design:

- Duration of observation period following administration: 14 days - Necropsy of survivors performed: yes; all animals were subjected to gross necropsy.- Other examinations performed: Clinical signs and body weight development were monitored during the study.

Sex:

female

Dose descriptor:

discriminating dose

Effect level:

ca. 2 000 mg/kg bw

Based on:

test mat.

Dose descriptor:

LD50

Effect level:

> 2 000 mg/kg bw

Based on:

test mat.

Remarks on result:

other: Estimated

Mortality:

There were no deaths.

Clinical signs:

other: No signs of systemic toxicity were noted during the study.

Other findings:

No abnormalities were noted at necropsy.

Interpretation of results:

GHS criteria not met

Conclusions:

The acute oral median lethal dose (LD50) of the test material in the female Sprague-Dawley CD strain rat was estimated to be greater than 2000 mg/kg bodyweight (Globally Harmonised Classification System Category - Unclassified).The test material was considered to have no significant acute toxic risk if swallowed and did not meet the criteria for classification according to EU labelling regulations Commission Directive 2001/59/EC for classification and labelling of dangerous substances.

Executive summary:

The study was performed to assess the acute oral toxicity of the test material following a single oral administration in the Sprague-Dawley CD strain rat (SPL Standard Test Method 518.04). The method followed the OECD Guidelines for the Testing of Chemicals No 420 "Acute Oral Toxicity - Fixed Dose Method" (adopted l7 December 2001). The acute oral median lethal dose (LD50) of the test material in the female Sprague-Dawley CD strain rat was estimated to be greater than 2000 mg/kg bodyweight (Globally Harmonised Classification System Category - Unclassified)

Conclusions:

According to European Union legislation substance of low toxicity (LD50 >2000 mg/kg b.w.) is not classified to the class of toxicity based on the strength of toxicity in acute exposure conditions.

Executive summary:

According to European Union legislation, substance of low toxicity (LD50 >2O0O mg/kg b.w.) is not classified to the class of toxicity based on the strength of toxicity in acute exposure conditions.

Endpoint conclusion

Endpoint conclusion:

no adverse effect observed

Dose descriptor:

LD50

Value:

2 000 mg/kg bw

Additional information

Direct Orange 102 is not toxic by oral and dermal based on the test results performed on similar substances.

Justification for selection of acute toxicity – oral endpoint
Study performed on similar substance 01

Justification for selection of acute toxicity – dermal endpoint
Study on similar substance 02

Justification for classification or non-classification

According to CLP regulation (EC1272/2008) Direct Orange 102 is not classified for Acute toxicity.
