Administrative data

Endpoint:
acute toxicity: oral
Type of information:
read-across from supporting substance (structural analogue or surrogate)
Adequacy of study:
key study
Study period:
2012
Reliability:
1 (reliable without restriction)
Justification for type of information:
The read-across of data from chemical source (triethyl orthoformate) to chemical target (Tetraethyl orthocarbonate) is based on the following hypothesis:
- chemical source and chemical target have the same organic functional groups; the only difference is the aliphatic carbon of the chemical source no judged relevant for this evaluation
- chemical source and chemical target have a very close structure similarity
- chemical source and chemical target have similar flash point and boiling point
Cross-reference
Reason / purpose for cross-reference:

Remarks:
LD50 value is 7060 mg/kg bw
Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
No data are available for substance target (TEC); however, the triethyl orthoformate (a structural analogue substance) has a LD50 value equal to 7060 mg/kg bw in rat. The read-across of these data is considered as justified.
Executive summary:

The triethyl orthoformate (a structural analogue substance) has a LD50 value equal to 7060 mg/kg bw in rat.
