- Weighing: immediately prior to administration and weekly thereafter.
- Necropsy of survivors performed: yes: external body surface and orifices, the appearance of tissues and organs in the thoracic cavity (trachea, esophagus, heart, aorta, lungs with main stem bronchi, thymus, tracheobronchial lymph node) and in the abdominal cavity (liver, spleen, adrenal glands, kidneys, ovaries, uterus including cervix, urinary bladder, small intestine, large intestine, pancreas, stomach, mesenteric lymph nodes).
- Other examinations performed: changes in skin, fur, eyes, mucous membranes, respiratory, circulatory, autonomic and central nervous system, somatomotor activity and behavioural pattern. Particular attention to potential neurologic endpoints such as tremors, convulsions, salivation, diarrhoea, lethargy, sleep and coma.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
LD50 > 2000 mg/kg bw
Executive summary:

The acute toxicity of the test item was examined by means of an OECD 423 Acute Toxic Class method in accordance with GLP. A limit dose of 2000 mg/kg body weight was used as a starting dose. The test item was administered to 6 female rats and was found to not cause death. During the observation period, no animals displayed signs of intoxication, change of health, nor any other adverse reaction. The body weights of all animals increased during the study. No body weight losses were observed between the first and second week after administration. During necropsy, no macroscopic findings were observed.

The LD50 of the test item “Oligomerisation product obtained by plasma treatment of vegetable oil mono- and polyunsaturated C16 – C22 triglycerides”is greater than 2000 mg/kg body weight after single oral administration to Wistar rats.

The experimentally determined acute oral LD50 is > 2000 mg/kg bw. As a consequence, the substance does not need to be classified in accordance with the criteria of Regulation EC 1272/2008 on the classification, labelling and packaging of substances and mixtures (CLP).
