Endpoint summary
Administrative data
Description of key information
Several studies (GLP and non-GLP, according or similar to OECD guideline 401 and 403) were conducted to evaluate the acute oral and dermal toxicity of the test item. Single oral and dermal administration of the material did not cause mortality or clinical signs of toxicity. Acute oral and dermal LD50 values were therefore estimated to be >5000 and > 2000 mg/kg bw, respectively. Inhalation toxicity was also examined, however 1h inhalation of 2 mg/l air is insufficient for classification and assessment of acute toxicity.

Additional information
Acute oral toxicity
Three studies were performed to evaluate acute oral toxicity of the test item. In the key study, the test material dissolved in an aqueous solution 2% CMC was administered in a single dose by gavage to male and female Wistar rats (RCC, 1984). All animals were checked daily for mortality / viability and clinical signs of toxicity during days 1 -15; body weights were recorded on days 1, 8 and 15. None of the test animals died. Dyspnea was observed in any rat within 1 to 5 hours after treatment; all animals had recovered within 24 hours after treatment. Normal body weight gain was recorded throughout the study. Pathologic organ changes were not observed. The LD50 was therefore considered to be > 5000 mg/kg bw. Two other studies were conducted to examine acute oral toxicity: one assay was performed in hens (TSCATS, 1980) and the other one in rats (TSCATS, 1975). In the hen study, groups of 4 hens were dosed with the test item by gavage at dose levels of 800, 1200, 1800, 2700, 4050 and 6080 mg/kg bw. All hens survived until scheduled day of necropsy without any signs of toxicity; the hens remained normal in respect of appearance, mood and locomotor function throughout the observation period. No substance related findings were reported during necropsy and the LD50 was reported as 6080 mg/kg body weight. The third available study performed in rats was not taken into consideration, since it was performed at IBT, a CRO known for having falsified study reports. The reliability of this report can not be judged and therefore the study results are included in the dossier, but not taken into consideration.
Acute dermal toxicity
Two studies were conducted to examine acute dermal toxicity of the test item. In the key study (WIL, 1994), 2000 mg/kg bw of the material were applied onto skin of 5 male or female rabbits for 24h under semi-occlusive conditions. The animals were observed for mortality, clinical signs and skin irritation for 14d. There were no deaths, test material related clinical findings, remarkable body weight changes or test material related gross necropsy findings. The test material induced generally very slight to slight erythema on all rabbits and very slight to slight edema on eight rabbits. There was a single occurrence of moderate erythema. Desquamation was present on five sites by day 7. There were no other dermal findings. Dermal irritation decreased over the study period with one rabbit having very slight erythema at study termination (day 14). Based on the data obtained, the LD50 was found to be greater than 2000 mg/kg when applied once to the shaved, intact skin of male and female albino rabbits. The second study (Kemron, 1978), performed in 10 male rabbits, gave not hint for acute toxicity after a 24h application of 200 mg/kg bw onto skin.
Acute inhalation toxicity
The compound was analysed for its inhalative toxicity in a non-GLP study similar to OECD guideline 403 (TSCAT, 1978). Rats were exposed to 2 mg/l air for 1h (whole body) and thereafter observed for 14d. All animals survived until scheduled day of necropsy; clinical signs were not observed. However, 1h inhalation of 2 mg/l air is insufficient for classification and assessment of acute toxicity.
Justification for classification or non-classification
Classification, Labelling, and Packaging Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008
The available experimental test data are reliable and suitable for classification purposes under Regulation 1272/2008. As a result the substance is not considered to be classified for acute toxicity under Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008.
