Endpoint summary

Description of key information

The acute toxicity of the test item was investigated in an acute toxicity study on rats. The test animals showed no clinical signs (and no mortality) up to the limit dose after oral administration. Hence, the LD50 is above 2000 mg/Kg bw.

The subsequent evaluation on the necessity of a acute test via a second route was done in accordance with Guidance on Information Requirements and Chemical Safety Assessment Chapter R.7a: Endpoint specific guidance, Version 6.0, July 2017, p 374f.

A DermWin calculation shows a dermally absorbed dose of 6.2*10 -6 to 5.8*10 -5 mg/cm2/event. Based on the very low dermally absorbed rate and the absence of systemic effects after acute oral administration, a study on acute dermal toxicity is not required.

Furthermore, based on the lack of systemic toxicity after acute oral adminsitration, it is more than evident that an acute study on inhalation would not show any different outcome. Therefore, and due to animal welfare reasons a study on acute inhalation is not required.

Key result

Sex:

male/female

Dose descriptor:

LD50

Effect level:

> 2 000 mg/kg bw

Based on:

test mat.

Mortality:

All rats survived the observation period.

Clinical signs:

No signs of toxicity were seen in the 3 male and 3 female rats after treatment with 2000 mg/kg.

Body weight:

The body weight development of the rats was inconspicuous during the study.

Gross pathology:

The gross pathological examination revealed no organ alterations.

Interpretation of results:

GHS criteria not met

Conclusions:

Based on the result of this study, it is concluded that the test material has no acute toxic potential and that the LD50 value is higher than 2000 mg/kg after single oral administration in rats.

Executive summary:

The test material was tested for acute toxicity in rats after single oral administration of 2000 mg/kg body weight. The study was performed according to the OECD Guideline for Testing of Chemicals, No. 423.

No signs of toxicity were seen in the rats (3 males, 3 females) after treatment with 2000 mg/kg of the test item.
The body weight development of the rats was inconspicuous during the study.
There were no deaths during the course of the study.
The gross pathological examination revealed no organ alterations.

Based on the result of this study, it is concluded that the test material has no acute toxic potential and that the LD₅₀value is higher than 2000 mg/kg after single oral administration in rats.
