Interpretation of results:
not classified
Remarks:
Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
Conclusions:
The acute dermal administration of the test material (2 g/kg bw) resulted in an LD50 > 2000 mg/kg bw.
Executive summary:

In this study, performed in accordance with OECD TG 402 under GLP, the substance, moistened with water, was applied to the shaved skin of rabbits (five/sex) at a dose of 2000 mg/kg bw under occlusive conditions for 24 hours. Four animals died during the 14-day observation period. No treatment related effects were noted on bodyweight gain in the remaining animals. Observations noted during the study were limited to the skin at the application sites and included erythema, edema, chemical burns, scar tissue, coriaceousness and eschar. At necropsy external observations included severe tissue damage and necrosis of skin at the application site of all four animals that died prematurely and scar tissue/scar tissue and eschar in four of the surviving animals. Two animals showed no external changes. Internally, two of the animals that died prematurely had empty stomachs. The remaining animals showed no gross internal changes. The LD50 was > 2000 mg/kg bw.

In accordance with Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008 the substance is not classified for acute toxicity by the dermal route.

Endpoint conclusion
Endpoint conclusion:
no adverse effect observed
Dose descriptor:

Value:
2 000 mg/kg bw
Quality of whole database:

Additional information

Acute oral toxicity

Two reliable studies are available. In the first study performed to OECD TG 401 under GLP, rats (five/sex) were dosed by gavage with 5000 mg/kg bw of a 33 %w/w solution of the substance (equivalent to 1650 mg substance/kg bw). Eight animals died during the 14-day observation period. No treatment-related effects were noted on bodyweight gain or at gross necropsy of the surviving rats at the end of the observation period. The LD50 was < 1650 mg substance/kg bw [Kukulinski M (1997a)]. In the second study performed to OECD TG 401 under GLP, rats (five/sex) were dosed by gavage with 2000 mg/kg bw of a 33 %w/w solution of the substance (equivalent to 660 mg substance/kg bw). Two animals died during the 14-day observation period. Clinical effects were observed in three other male rats at the Day 1 observation period. No treatment-related effects were noted on bodyweight gain or at gross necropsy of the surviving rats at the end of the observation period. The LD50 was > 660 mg substance/kg bw [Kukulinski M (1997b)].

Based on these two studies, the oral LD50 (rat) of the substance is between 660-1650 mg/kg bw/day.

 

 Acute inhalation toxicity

No study is available.

 

Acute dermal toxicity

One reliable study is available. In this study, performed in accordance with OECD TG 402 under GLP, the substance, moistened with water, was applied to the shaved skin of rabbits (five/sex) at a dose of 2000 mg/kg bw under occlusive conditions for 24 hours [Kukulinski M (1997c)]. Four animals died during the 14-day observation period. No treatment related effects were noted on bodyweight gain in the remaining animals. Observations noted during the study were limited to the skin at the application sites and included erythema, oedema, chemical burns, scar tissue, coriaceousness and eschar. At necropsy external observations included severe tissue damage and necrosis of skin at the application site of all four animals that died prematurely and scar tissue/scar tissue and eschar in four of the surviving animals. Two animals showed no external changes. Internally, two of the animals that died prematurely had empty stomachs. The remaining animals showed no gross internal changes. Base on the results of this study the dermal LD50 (rabbit) is > 2000 mg/kg bw.

Justification for classification or non-classification

The acute oral LD50 is between 660 and 1650 mg/kg bw, based on the results of GLP studies performed to OECD 401. The substance is therefore classified as Acute Category 4 in accordance with the criteria in Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008.

The acute dermal LD50 is > 2000 mg/kg bw, based on the results of a GLP study performed to OECD TG 401. The substance is not classified in accordance with the criteria in Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008.
