Administrative data
Description of key information
The test item has a low acute toxicity by the oral and dermal routes. The available inhalation data support a classification of the test substance according to CLP as STOT SE 3 (H335).
In rats, the LD50 value via the oral route is > 5000 mg/kg bw (value derived from read-across compound isoamyl isovalerate). In consideration of the molecular weight of both substances (172.27 and 102.13 g/mol), the corrected LD50 for the Ethyl propionate is > 2964.2 mg/kg.
In rats, the LD50 value via the dermal route is > 2000 mg/kg bw.
In an acute inhalation toxicity study in rats LT50s of 35 and 32 minutes were reported in male and female rats, respectively. Effects observed included laboured breathing, lethargy, ataxia, lacrimation, discharge (nasal, oral) and loss of reflexes. Gross pathology observations included red lungs, gas-filled stomachs and liquid-filled tracheas. The vapor concentration applied (210 mg/l) was ten times higher than the CLP classification threshold for inhalation acute toxic Category 4 of 20 mg/l. Therefore a classification for acute inhalation toxicity is not justified.
The lethal effects found in the animals are nevertheless considered serious enough to apply a classification as STOT SE 3 (H335) according to CLP. It is known that highly soluble esters can hydrolyse fast in aqueous solution. Hydrolysis products of the parent substance are ethanol and propionic acid, with propionic acid having higher potency for local lung effects. The formation of propionic acid is therefore considered causing the observed effects in this study.

MAXIMUM DOSE VOLUME APPLIED: 10 ml/kg
CLASS METHOD (if applicable)
- Rationale for the selection of the starting dose: due to the low expected toxicity of the test substance a starting dose of 5,000 mg/kg was selected. - Doses:
- Step 1: starting dose of 5,000 mg/kg test substance was administered to one animal
Step 2: two animals were administered the test substance at 5,000 mg/kg, because there was no dead animal at 5,000 mg/kg (step 1) - No. of animals per sex per dose:

- Mortality:
- All animals at 5,000 mg/kg survived the duration of the study. There were no effects on the mortality. Refer to Table 1.
- Clinical signs:
- other: Mucous stool was observed in one animal at 5,000 mg/kg on Day 1 after dosing and it disappeared on Day 2 after dosing. Therefore, it was considered to be a test substance-related temporary change. Refer to table 2.
- Gross pathology:
- No gross visible evidence of morphological abnormalities was observed in any animal at 5,000 mg/kg.
- Interpretation of results:
- GHS criteria not met
- Conclusions:
- Based on the result of the acute oral toxicity study in Sprague-dawley rats, the test substance has an LD50 value >5000 mg/kg bw. Therefore, it was not classified according to CLP.
- Executive summary:
The purpose of this study was to assess the potential toxicity of the test substance following a single oral dose administration to female Sprague-Dawley rats and to classify the test substance under GHS classification.
Two dose groups were designed as Steps 1 and 2 at 5,000 mg/kg. Step 1 consisted of one female and Step 2 consisted of two females. All animals were monitored for clinical signs and body weight changes during the 14-day observation period after administration. They were subjected to gross necropsy at the end of the observation period.
There were no deaths of animals at 5,000 mg/kg. Mucous stool was observed in an animal on Day 1 after dosing and it disappeared on Day 2 after dosing. A tendency to suppress body weight gain was observed in animals on Day 1 after dosing. Then, these animals returned to normal on Day 3. No test substance-related effects were observed in the necropsy in any animal.
Based on the result of the acute oral toxicity study in Sprague-Dawley rats, the test substance was not classified according to the GHS classification and the median lethal dose derived was: LD50 cut off> 5,000 mg/kg b.w.
- Endpoint:
- acute toxicity: oral
- Type of information:
- read-across from supporting substance (structural analogue or surrogate)
- Adequacy of study:
- key study
- Reliability:
- 2 (reliable with restrictions)
- Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
- other: Guideline study conducted using a read across substance
- Justification for type of information:
- The read across justification is included as an attachment to section 13.
- Reason / purpose for cross-reference:
- read-across source
- Specific details on test material used for the study:
- read across target substance
- Key result
- Sex:
- female
- Dose descriptor:
- LD50
- Effect level:
- > 5 000 mg/kg bw
- Based on:
- other: 3-methylbutyl isovalerate
- Interpretation of results:
- GHS criteria not met
- Conclusions:
- In an acute oral toxicity study the LD50 for the source substance isoamylisovalerate was >5000 mg/kg bw in rats. The same LD50 value is assumed for the target substance ethylpropionate. Therefore, using a read across approach, the target substance was not classified according to CLP classification.
In consideration of the molecular weight of both substances (172.27 and 102,13 g/mol), the corrected LD50 for the Ethyl propionate is > 2964.2 mg/kg. - Executive summary:
The acute oral toxicity of the target substance was predicted from the source substance (see read across justification; attachment to section 13). In an acute oral toxicity study the LD50 for the source substance was >5000 mg/kg bw in rats. Therefore, using a read across approach, the target substance was not classified according to CLP classification.

Endpoint conclusion
- Endpoint conclusion:
- no adverse effect observed
- Dose descriptor:
- LD50
- Value:
- 2 000 mg/kg bw
- Quality of whole database:
- The key study is reliable without restrictions (guideline study).
Additional information
In the supporting acute oral study in rats, an LD50 of 10.8 ml/kg bw or 9.6 g/kg bw (male) and 9.8 ml/kg bw or 8.7 g/kg bw (female) was determined. An undefined number of mortalities occurred at least during 24 h after administration. Lethary and prostration and red lungs, gray stomach, white to red intestines and gray to red kidney have been seen in rats.
In a supporting acute dermal toxicity test in rabbits it was found that the LD50 (rabbit) is greater than 5000 mg/kg.
Justification for classification or non-classification
Based on the available results, the test substance is not classified for acute oral and dermal toxicity according to Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008. The available data indicate that a strong irritation of the respiratory tract occurred leading to the lethal effects found in the animals. The test substance will be classified as STOT SE 3 (H335) according to CLP.
