Additional information

ACUTE ORAL TOXICITY

The oral acute toxicity study was performed according to OECD 423.

The oral LD50 value of naphthalene-1,5-diol in Wistar rats was established to exceed 2000 mg/kg body weight.

Justification for classification or non-classification

According to the CLP Regulation (EC 1272/2008), substances can be allocated to one of four toxicity categories based on acute toxicity by the oral, dermal or inhalation route according to the numeric criteria. Acute toxicity values are expressed as (approximate) LD50 (oral, dermal) or LC50 (inhalation) values or as acute toxicity estimates (ATE).

In the case of oral exposure route, the acute toxicity hazard categories and acute toxicity estimates (ATE) defining the respective categories are:

-Category 1: ATE ≤ 5 mg/kg bw

-Category 2: 5 < ATE ≤ 50 mg/kg bw

-Category 3: 50 < ATE ≤ 300 mg/kg bw

-Category 4: 300 < ATE ≤ 2000 mg/kg bw

The acute oral LD50 in rats was found to exceed 2000 mg/kg bw.

Therefore, the substance is not classified for oral acute toxicity according to the CLP Regulation (EC n. 1272/2008).
