Additional information

Acute oral toxicity

In an acute oral toxicity study performed according to EU B.1 modified according to OECD 423 (deviation: starting dose was 500 mg/kg bw instead of 300 mg/kg bw), 3 male Wistar rats were administered 500 mg/kg bw of the test substance (> 95% pure) in water per gavage as the starting dose. All animals were observed for clinical signs for 14 days and necropsied. As no animal died at 500 mg/kg bw, the same dose was tested in 3 females, respectively. No animal died, either. Subsequently 3 males were administered a dose of 2000 mg/kg bw. All animals died within 2 hours. No signs of toxicity were noted in the 500 mg/kg bw male group. Impaired and poor general state, dyspnoea, apathy, abdominal position, fibrillar contractions and piloerection were observed in the 500 mg/kg bw female group 3 - 5 hours after application. In the 2000 mg/kg bw group, poor general state, dyspnoea, apathy, staggering and twitching were observed before death. Thus, the LD50 is > 500 and < 2000 mg/kg bw. The study is suitable for assessment as it was performed according to guideline under GLP conditions (BASF SE, 1998).

Justification for classification or non-classification

Classification, Labeling, and Packaging Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008

The available experimental test data are reliable and suitable for the purpose of classification. Based on the criteria laid down in Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008, as amended for the 2nd time in Directive EC 286/2011, classification for acute oral toxicity is warranted as “category 4".
