EXPERIMENTAL PREPARATION
- Specific gravity of the test material was determined and used to calculate the appropriate dose volume.
- The test material was formulated within two hours of being applied to the test system and it was assumed that the substance was stable for that period of time.
- No analysis was conducted to determine the homogeneity, concentration or stability of the test item formulation and that decision was noted in the GLP compliance statement.VEHICLE
The test material was used as supplied.

Details on study design:
ANIMALS AND ANIMAL HUSBANDRY
- Animals were randomly allocated to cages on receipt.
- The females were nulliparous and non-pregnant.
- Animals were selected at random and given a number unique within the study by indelible ink marking on the tail and a number written on a cage card.
- Diet, drinking water and bedding were routinely analysed and were considered not to contain any contaminants that would reasonably be expected to affect the purpose or integrity of the study.
- Animals were provided with environmental enrichment items that were considered not to contain any contaminant at a level that could affect the purpose or integrity of the study.

PROCEDURE
- Using available information on the toxicity of the test item, 2000 mg/kg was chosen as the starting dose.
- In the absence of mortality at a dose level of 2000 mg/kg, an additional group of 4 animals was treated at a dose level of 2000 mg/kg.
- All animals were dosed once only by gavage.
- The volume administered to each animal was calculated according to its fasted bodyweight at the time of dosing.

OBSERVATIONS
- Clinical observations were made 0.5, 1, 2 and 4 hours after dosing and subsequently once daily for 4 days.
- Morbidity and mortality checks were made twice daily.
- Individual bodyweights were recorded on Day 0 (the day of dosing) and on Days 7 and 14.
- At the end of the observation period all animals were subjected to gross necropsy consisting of an external examination and opening of the abdominal and thoracic cavities. The appearance of any macroscopic abnormalities was recorded. No tissues were retained.
Statistics:
- Data evaluations included the relationship, if any, between the animals' exposure to test material and the incidence and severity of all abnormalities including behavioural and clinical observations, gross lesions, bodyweight changes, mortality and any other toxicological effects.
- Motality data was used to obtain an estimate of the acute oral median lethal dose (LD50) of the test material.

Additional information

Acute oral toxicity

A reliable study was performed in accordance with GLP and OECD Guideline 420 to assess the acute oral toxicity of 9-dodecenoic acid, methyl ester (9DDAME) in the female Wistar strain rat (Harlan Laboratories Ltd, 2012). Following an initial test in one animal at dose levels of 2000 mg/kg, a further group of four fasted animals was given a single oral dose of the test item at a dose level of 2000 mg/kg bw. There were no mortalities or signs of systemic toxicity during the study. All animals showed expected gains in bodyweight and no abnormalities were noted at necropsy. The acute oral LD50 of 9-dodecenoic acid, methyl ester

in the female Wistar strain rat was therefore estimated to be greater than 2000 mg/kg bw.

Acute inhalation toxicity

9-Dodecenoic acid, methyl ester has been shown by experiment to have a low vapour pressure (0.99 Pa) and the chemical safety assessment shows that exposure to aerosols or droplets of inhalable size is unlikely under normal conditions. In addition, there were no signs of systemic toxicity in the acute oral toxicity study performed with 9-Dodecenoic acid, methyl ester nor the dermal toxicity study performed with 9-decenoic acid, methyl ester, used in a read-across approach. Further investigations involving vertebrate animals are therefore contraindicated on the grounds of rodent welfare and hence an acute inhalation study is considered scientifically unjustified.

Acute dermal toxicity

The acute toxicity of the test item 9-dodecenoic acid, methyl ester (9DDAME) via the dermal route has been read-across from the substance 9-decenoic acid, methyl ester from the following study:

A reliable study was performed in accordance with GLP and OECD Guideline 402 to assess the acute dermal toxicity of 9-decenoic acid, methyl ester in the Wistar strain rat (Harlan Laboratories Ltd, 2012). A group of ten animals (five males and five females) was given a single, 24 hour, semi-occluded dermal application of the undiluted test item it intact skin at a dose level of 2000 mg/kg bw. There were no mortalities or signs of systemic toxicity during the study. Very slight erythema was noted at the test sites of all males and one female. Small superficial scattered scabs were also noted at the test site of one male. There were no signs of dermal irritation noted in four females. Animals showed expected gains in bodyweight over the study period except for one female which had a slight bodyweight loss during the first week but expected gain in bodyweight during the second week. No abnormalities were noted at necropsy. The acute dermal LD50 of 9-decenoic acid, methyl ester in the Wistar strain rat was therefore estimated to be greater than 2000 mg/kg bw.

Justification of read-across: A comparison of target substance (9DDAME) and the read-across substance (9DAME) shows that the two substances share structural similarities, increasing from a chain length of C10 to C12 with similar functional groups and also have ‘mechanistic action’ similarities.


Justification for selection of acute toxicity – oral endpoint
The study has been conducted according to OECD Guideline 420 and to GLP and is adequately reported. As such the study as been assigned a reliability 1.

Justification for selection of acute toxicity – dermal endpoint
The acute toxicity of the test item 9-dodecenoic acid, methyl ester (9DDAME) via the dermal route has been read-across from a study conducted with the substance 9-decenoic acid, methyl ester (9DAME). The study was conducted according to OECD Guideline 402 and to GLP and is adequately reported. As such the study as been assigned a reliability 1.

Justification for classification or non-classification

The acute oral LD50 in rats for 9 -dodecenoic acid, methyl ester was > 2000 mg/kg bw. The dermal LD50 value in rats for 9-decenoic acid, methyl ester was > 2000 mg/kg bw, which has been used in a read-across approach. No inhalation data is available but the substance has low vapour pressure and no effects were seen in oral and dermal studies. Therefore, 9-dodecenoic acid, methyl ester does not require classification for acute oral, dermal or inhalation toxicity according to the criteria described in Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008.
