Description of key information

Two studies have been conducted to assess the oral toxicity of the test substance: Dosing by gavage of the test substance, suspended in water for irrigation, to groups of 10 male and female mice to determine toxic effects from oral exposure to the substance, showed no toxicity up to a dosage of 1000 mg/kg body weight. Further testing in a group of 10 female mice demonstrated that the test substance has a very low order of acute oral toxicity, with a LD50 value in excess of 5 g/kg. No reaction to treatment or macroscopic damage to tissue were observed at that dose level.

A single study was conducted where dermal exposure of rats to the test substance at a concentration of 3400mg/kg did not result in apparent toxicity or skin irritation.

Additional information

Justification for classification or non-classification

The substance has been tested in mice by oral gavage at 1000 and 5000 mg/kg bw, no toxicity was observed. Additionally, percutaneous testing with the substance in rats established that the LD50 exceeds 3400 mg/kg bw, with no apparent toxicity or irritation resulting from the exposure. From the results above, it can be predicted that inhalation exposure of test animals would not result in toxicity by that route upto the limit dose of 5mg/ L/4 hours.

Accordingly, the classification criteria for acute toxicity according to 1272/2008/EC are not met.
