Route of administration:
oral: gavage
Vehicle:
other: Helianthi annui oleum raffinatum
Details on oral exposure:
All doses were formulated in the vehicle. Concentration of formulations were adjusted to maintain a treatment volume of 10 mL/kg bw. At starting, the test item was applied in a concentration of 200 mg/mL. The further concentrations were 30 mg/mL, 5 mg/mL and 0.5 mg/mL.
Doses:
2000 mg/kg bw
No. of animals per sex per dose:

Details on study design:
A single oral administration - followed by a fourteen-day observation period - was performed by gavage. The day before treatment the animals were fasted. The food but not water was withheld overnight. Animals were weighed before the application and the food was given back 3 hours after the treatment.
Preliminary study:
The acute toxic class method (OECD Guideline No. 423) was carried out involving a stepwise procedure with the use of 2000 mg/kg bw as the starting dose in three female rats. No animal died in the first step at 2000 mg/kg bw dose level, so treatment with 2000 mg/kg bw was repeated on further three female rats. No animal died in the second step, too, so the test was finished. The stopping criteria of Annex 2d of OECD Guideline No. 423 were fulfilled.

Executive summary:

SIKA Hardener MH was tested for acute oral toxicity in study with rats according to OECD Guideline 423 (Acute toxic class method). The acute toxic class method (OECD Guideline No. 423) was carried out involving a stepwise procedure with the use of 2000 mg/kg bw as the starting dose in three female rats. No animal died in the first step at 2000 mg/kg bw dose level, so treatment with 2000 mg/kg bw was repeated on further three female rats. No animal died in the second step, too, so the test was finished, the stopping criteria of Annex 2d of OECD Guideline No. 423 was met. Animals were weighed, observed for lethality and toxic symptoms for 14 days after the treatment. Gross pathological examination was carried out on the 15th day after the treatment.

No lethality was noted at single oral dose of 2000 mg/kg bw. In first and second step, no clinical symptoms were observed on the day of the treatment and during the 14-day observation period, the general state and behaviour of experimental animals were normal.

The body weight development was undisturbed in all animals. All animals survived until the scheduled autopsy on Day 15. All organs of all experimental animals proved to be free of treatment related gross pathological changes. Thus, an LD50 of greater than 2000 mg/kg bw was determined.

Conclusions:
In this acute dermal toxicity study with the test item, the obtained acute dermal LD50 value was greater than 2000 mg/kg bw in Han:WIST female rats.
Executive summary:

An acute dermal toxicity study was performed with test item in Han:WIST rats, in compliance with OECD Guideline No. 402 and OPPTS 870.1200. At first, the range-finding study was performed. The starting dose was 200 mg/kg bw using one animal. The other doses were 1000 and 2000 mg/kg bw applying one animal, each. No death was observed. Therefore, 2000 mg/kg bw dose was used in the main study. The test item was applied to three animals in original form, i. e. without vehicle,and left in contact with the skin for 24 hours, followed by a 14-day observation period. No death was observed in the 2000 mg/kg bw dose group in the main study. Animals treated with 2000 mg/kg bw of the test item did not show behavioral changes and no signs of systemic toxicity were noted during the study. The test item caused dermal irritation symptoms as well as defined or slight erythema between Day 1 and Day 14. Other dermal irritation symptoms as dry skin, small wound, crust and wound were recorded between Day 2 and Day 14. Mean body weight development was within the normal range for animals of this strain and age in the main study. No macroscopic alterations of organs and tissues referring to systemic toxicity of the test item were seen during the necropsy. It is to be noted that the test item caused dermal irritation response on the site of administration.

In this acute dermal toxicity study with the test item, the obtained acute dermal LD50 value was greater than 2000 mg/kg bw in Han:WIST female rats.

Additional information

Acute oral toxicity:

SIKA Hardener MH was tested for acute oral toxicity in study with rats according to OECD Guideline 423 (Acute toxic class method).The acute toxic class method (OECD Guideline No. 423) was carried out involving a stepwise procedure with the use of 2000 mg/kg bw as the starting dose in three female rats. No animal died in the first step at 2000 mg/kg bw dose level, so treatment with 2000 mg/kg bw was repeated on further three female rats. No animal died in the second step, too, so the test was finished, the stopping criteria of Annex 2d of OECD Guideline No. 423 was met. Animals were weighed, observed for lethality and toxic symptoms for 14 days after the treatment. Gross pathological examination was carried out on the 15th day after the treatment.

No lethality was noted at single oral dose of 2000 mg/kg bw. In first and second step, no clinical symptoms were observed on the day of the treatment and during the 14-day observation period, the general state and behaviour of experimental animals were normal.

The body weight development was undisturbed in all animals. All animals survived until the scheduled autopsy on Day 15. All organs of all experimental animals proved to be free of treatment related gross pathological changes.Thus, an LD50 of greater than 2000 mg/kg bw was determined.

Acute dermal toxicity:

An acute dermal toxicity study was performed with test item in Han:WIST rats, in compliance with OECD Guideline No. 402 and OPPTS 870.1200.At first, the range-finding study was performed. The starting dose was 200 mg/kg bw using one animal. The other doses were 1000 and 2000 mg/kg bw applying one animal, each. No death was observed. Therefore, 2000 mg/kg bw dose was used in the main study.The test item was applied to three animals in original form, i. e. without vehicle,and left in contact with the skin for 24 hours, followed by a 14-day observation period. No death was observed in the 2000 mg/kg bw dose group in the main study.Animals treated with 2000 mg/kg bw of the test item did not show behavioral changes and no signs of systemic toxicity were noted during the study. The test item caused dermal irritation symptoms as well as defined or slight erythema between Day 1 and Day 14. Other dermal irritation symptoms as dry skin, small wound, crust and wound were recorded between Day 2 and Day 14.Mean body weight development was within the normal range for animals of this strain and age in the main study.No macroscopic alterations of organs and tissues referring to systemic toxicity of the test item were seen during the necropsy.It is to be noted that the test item caused dermal irritation response on the site of administration.In this acute dermal toxicity study with the test item, the obtained acute dermal LD50 value was greater than 2000 mg/kg bw in Han:WIST female rats.

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 (EC) No. 1272/2008. The acute oral and dermal LD50 was greater than 2000 mg/kg bw, respectively. As a result the substance is not considered to be classified for acute oral toxicity under Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008, as amended for the twelfth time in Regulation (EU) No. 2019/521.
