Link to relevant study records

Reference

Endpoint:

acute toxicity: oral

Type of information:

experimental study

Adequacy of study:

key study

Study period:

1956 December

Reliability:

2 (reliable with restrictions)

Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:

study well documented, meets generally accepted scientific principles, acceptable for assessment

Qualifier:

no guideline available

Principles of method if other than guideline:

- Principle of test: The toxicity of test substance has been studied using rats in acute and subacute oral studies, guinea pigs in the skin irritation and sensitization tests. A limited patch tet has been run with eighteen human subjects.
- Short description of test conditions: The samples used in this study were test sample, cotton sheeting impegrnated with 0.5 percent test substance, cotton sheeting impregnated with 0.75 percent test substance and cotton sheeting control.
The cotton sheeting samples were prepared by treating with an aquaeous solution of the test substance. The product was dissolved in distilled water and applied to the cotton sheeting by padding. The cloth samples were then air dried and ironed. The cotton sheeting control was put through the same procedure, omitting the test substance.
- Parameters analysed / observed: clinical and pathological signs have been observed

GLP compliance:

not specified

Test type:

standard acute method

Limit test:

no

TREATMENT OF TEST MATERIAL PRIOR TO TESTING
The samples used in this study were test sample, cotton sheeting impegrnated with 0.5 percent test substance, cotton sheeting impregnated with 0.75 percent test substance and cotton sheeting control.

The cloth samples were then air dried and ironed. The cotton sheeting control was put through the same procedure, omitting the test substance.

DOSAGE PREPARATION (if unusual): The samples used in this study were test sample, cotton sheeting impegrnated with 0.5 percent test substance, cotton sheeting impregnated with 0.75 percent test substance and cotton sheeting control.
The cotton sheeting samples were prepared by treating with an aquaeous solution of the test substance. The product was dissolved in distilled water and applied to the cotton sheeting by padding. The cloth samples were then air dried and ironed. The cotton sheeting control was put through the same procedure, omitting the test substance.

Key result

Sex:

male/female

Dose descriptor:

LD100

Effect level:

> 25 000 mg/kg bw

Based on:

test mat.

Mortality:

not observed

Clinical signs:

other: slight diarrhea at the second highest dose and severe dirrhea at the highest dose

Gross pathology:

no pathological changes were noted

Other findings:

- Organ weights: not specififed
- Histopathology: no pathological changes were noted
- Potential target organs: not specified
- Other observations: no other observations

Interpretation of results:

GHS criteria not met

Conclusions:

Tests of acute and subacute oral toxicity showed that the substance is of a very low order of oral toxicity hence the GHS criteria for classification has not been met.

Executive summary:

By stomach tube administration to the albino rats, the approximate lethal dose of test item was found to be greater than 25 000 mg/kg bw. The only clinical signs observed were severe diarrhea at the highest level tested and slight diarrhea at the next level, 17 000 mg/kg bw. No pathological changes were noted when the animals were sacrified 9 to 13 days after treatment.

Endpoint conclusion

Endpoint conclusion:

no adverse effect observed

Dose descriptor:

LD50

Value:

25 000 mg/kg bw

Acute toxicity: via inhalation route

Endpoint conclusion

Endpoint conclusion:

no study available

Acute toxicity: via dermal route

Endpoint conclusion

Endpoint conclusion:

no study available

Additional information

The acute oral toxicity study in rats was conducted to assess the toxicological profile of the test item. Undiluted test item as supplied by the stomach tube to male albino rats. No pathologial changes were note at sacrifice D9 - D13.

Justification for classification or non-classification

No classification according to CLP regulation is warranted.
