Description of key information
Acute oral toxicity:
The acute oral toxicity dose (LD50) was considered based on different studies conducted on rats for the test chemical. The studies concluded that the LD50 value is >2000 mg/kg bw, for acute oral toxicity. Thus, comparing this value with the criteria of CLP regulation, the given test chemical cannot be classified for acute oral toxicity.
Acute Inhalation Toxicity:
The acute inhalation toxicity study need not be conducted because exposure to humans via inhalation route is not likely taking into account due to the low vapour pressure of the test chemical, which is reported to be 0.000116 Pa. Thus, exposure to inhalable dust, mist and vapour of the chemical is highly unlikely. Therefore this study is considered for waiver.
Acute Dermal toxicity:
The acute dermal toxicity dose (LD50) was considered based on different studies conducted on rats and rabbits for the test chemical. The studies concluded that LD50 value is >2000 mg/kg bw, for acute dermal toxicity. Thus, comparing this value with the criteria of CLP regulation, the given test chemical cannot be classified for acute dermal toxicity.

- Executive summary:
In different studies, the given test chemical has been investigated for acute oral toxicity to a greater or lesser extent. Often are the studies based on in-vivo experiments in rodents, i.e. most commonly in rats for test chemical. The studies are summarized as below –
The reported study was designed and conducted to determine the acute oral toxicity profile of the given test chemical in Sprague Dawley rats.
Initially, three female animals were treated at the dose level of 300 mg/kg body weight of the test item (Step - I). Administration of the test item at 300 mg/kg did not result in any signs of toxicity and mortality at 24 hours after the dosing. As no mortality was observed at 24 hours after the dosing, three female animals were added to the study and treated with the same dose of 300 mg/kg of the test item (Step - II). Administration of the test item at 300 mg/kg did not result in any signs of toxicity and mortality after the dosing.
No mortality was observed at 300 mg/kg dose group, hence additional three female animals were treated with the higher dose of 2000 mg/kg of the test item (Step - I). Administration of the test item at 2000 mg/kg did not result in any signs of toxicity and mortality after the dosing. As no mortality were observed at 24 hours after the dosing, hence additional three female animals were treated with the higher dose of 2000 mg/kg of the test item (Step - II). Administration of the test item at 2000 mg/kg did not result in any signs of toxicity and mortality after the dosing. Gross pathological examination did not reveal any abnormalities in animals from 300 mg/kg and 2000 mg/kg dose groups.
It was concluded that the acute oral median lethal dose (LD50) of the given test chemical, when administered to Sprague Dawley rats was considered to be >2000 mg/kg body weight. Thus by considering the CLP criteria for acute toxicity rating for the chemicals, it infers that the given test chemical falls into the “Category No classified”.
The above study is supported with another study mentioned in report for the given test chemical. In an acute oral toxicity study, 10 female SPF Wistar rats strain Hoe: WISKF (SPF 71) weighing 234-244g (average weight 238g) rats were treated at the dose concentration of 5000 mg/kg bw.
The 25% suspension of test material was dissolved in sesame oil and was administered once via oral gavage route. The rats were not given any food for 16 hours before application. 2 hours after the dye was administered, the animals were fed again. The observation time after administration was 14 days. During this time, the animals were kept Weekly weighed, the animals received as feed the ALTROMIN stabilizer 1324 of the company Altromin GmbH in Lage/Lippe and tap water. Food and water were offered ad libitum.
Animals were observed for mortality and clinical signs changes for 14 days. The experimental animals were killed at the end of the follow-up period in anaesthesia, dissected and examined macroscopically.
No animal died on administration of 5000 mg/kg body weight. After the application, the animals showed normal behaviour. The body weight gain at the follow-up was regular. After administration of the dye, a dark blue faeces and blue urine staining were observed.
Under the condition of the study, the LD50 value was considered to be >5000 mg/kg bw, when female rats were treated with the given test chemical orally via gavage.
Both the above studies are further supported with the study mentioned in database and handbook for the test chemical. The acute oral toxicity was conducted in rats at the concentration of 3660 mg/kg bw. 50% mortality was observed in treated rats at 3660 mg/kg bw. Therefore, LD50 was considered to be 3660 mg/kg bw, when rats were treated with the test chemical via oral route.
Thus, based on the above summarised studies on test chemical, it can be concluded that LD50 value is >2000 mg/kg bw. Thus, comparing this value with the criteria of CLP regulation, the given test chemical cannot be classified for acute oral toxicity.

- Executive summary:

The acute dermal toxicity profile of test chemical was performed in Sprague Dawley rats according to OECD Guideline 402 (Acute Dermal Toxicity).
The test item was applied to shorn skin of 5 male and 5 female animals at 2000 mg/kg body weight. Animals were observed for clinical signs, mortality, until sacrifice. Onset, duration and severity of any sign were recorded. The clinical signs and mortality observations were conducted at 10, 30, 60 minutes, 2, 4 and 6 hours on the day of dosing and once daily thereafter for 14 day. Daily observation was done as far as possible at the same time. The observations were included general clinical signs, observations of eyes, mucous membranes, respiratory, circulatory system and behaviour pattern. Individual animal body weights were recorded pre-test (prior to administration of the test item), day 7 and at termination on day 14. Necropsy was performed on animals surviving at the end of the study. Macroscopic examination of all the orifices, cavities and tissues were made and the findings were recorded. All animals surviving the study period were sacrificed by the carbon dioxide asphyxiation technique (day 15).
Administration of the test item at 2000 mg/kg did not result in any skin reaction at the site of application during the study period of 14 days. Administration of the test item did not result in any signs of toxicity and mortality during the study period of 14 days. Animals exhibited normal body weight gain through the study period of 14 days. Gross pathological examination did not reveal any abnormalities attributable to the treatment.
Hence, LD50 was considered to be >2000 mg/kg bw, when male and female Sprague Dawley rats was treated with test chemical by dermal application.
The above study is supported with another study available in authoritative database and conducted on rabbits for the test chemical. The acute dermal toxicity study was conducted at the concentration of 2000 mg/kg bw. Animals were observed for mortality. No mortality was observed in treated rabbits at 2000 mg/kg bw. Therefore, LD50 value was considered to be >2000 mg/kg bw, when rabbits were treated with the given test chemical by dermal application to the skin.
Both the above studies are further supported with the study mentioned in authoritative database. The reported study was designed and conducted to determine the acute dermal toxicity profile of the given test chemical.In this study, rabbits were treated by dermal application at the dose concentration of 2000 mg/kg bw.
Animals were observed for mortality. No mortality was observed in treated rabbits at 2000 mg/kg bw. Clinical signs like the skin after systemic exposure cause dermatitis and other changes in skin and appendages were observed. Also effect on kidney, ureter, and bladder and changes in urine composition were noted.
Therefore, the LD50 value was considered to be >2000 mg/kg bw, when rabbits were treated with the given test chemical by dermal application.
Thus, based on the above summarised studies on test chemical, it can be concluded that LD50 value is >2000 mg/kg bw. Thus, comparing this value with the criteria of CLP regulation, the given test chemical cannot be classified for acute dermal toxicity.

Acute oral toxicity:
In different studies, the given test chemical has been investigated for acute oral toxicity to a greater or lesser extent. Often are the studies based on in-vivo experiments in rodents,
i.e. most commonly in rats for test chemical. The studies are summarized as below –
The reported study was designed and conducted to determine the acute oral toxicity profile of the given test chemical in Sprague Dawley rats.
Initially, three female animals were treated at the dose level of 300 mg/kg body weight of the test item (Step - I). Administration of the test item at 300 mg/kg did not result in any signs of toxicity and mortality at 24 hours after the dosing. As no mortality was observed at 24 hours after the dosing, three female animals were added to the study and treated with the same dose of 300 mg/kg of the test item (Step - II). Administration of the test item at 300 mg/kg did not result in any signs of toxicity and mortality after the dosing.
No mortality was observed at 300 mg/kg dose group, hence additional three female animals were treated with the higher dose of 2000 mg/kg of the test item (Step - I). Administration of the test item at 2000 mg/kg did not result in any signs of toxicity and mortality after the dosing. As no mortality were observed at 24 hours after the dosing, hence additional three female animals were treated with the higher dose of 2000 mg/kg of the test item (Step - II). Administration of the test item at 2000 mg/kg did not result in any signs of toxicity and mortality after the dosing. Gross pathological examination did not reveal any abnormalities in animals from 300 mg/kg and 2000 mg/kg dose groups.
It was concluded that the acute oral median lethal dose (LD50) of the given test chemical, when administered to Sprague Dawley rats was considered to be >2000 mg/kg body weight. Thus by considering the CLP criteria for acute toxicity rating for the chemicals, it infers that the given test chemical falls into the “Category No classified”.
The above study is supported with another study mentioned in report for the given test chemical. In an acute oral toxicity study, 10 female SPF Wistar rats strain Hoe: WISKF (SPF 71) weighing 234-244g (average weight 238g) rats were treated at the dose concentration of 5000 mg/kg bw.
The 25% suspension of test material was dissolved in sesame oil and was administered once via oral gavage route. The rats were not given any food for 16 hours before application. 2 hours after the dye was administered, the animals were fed again. The observation time after administration was 14 days. During this time, the animals were kept Weekly weighed, the animals received as feed the ALTROMIN stabilizer 1324 of the company Altromin GmbH in Lage/Lippe and tap water. Food and water were offered ad libitum.
Animals were observed for mortality and clinical signs changes for 14 days. The experimental animals were killed at the end of the follow-up period in anaesthesia, dissected and examined macroscopically.
No animal died on administration of 5000 mg/kg body weight. After the application, the animals showed normal behaviour. The body weight gain at the follow-up was regular. After administration of the dye, a dark blue faeces and blue urine staining were observed.
Under the condition of the study, the LD50 value was considered to be >5000 mg/kg bw, when female rats were treated with the given test chemical orally via gavage.
Both the above studies are further supported with the study mentioned in database and handbook for the test chemical. The acute oral toxicity was conducted in rats at the concentration of 3660 mg/kg bw. 50% mortality was observed in treated rats at 3660 mg/kg bw. Therefore, LD50 was considered to be 3660 mg/kg bw, when rats were treated with the test chemical via oral route.
Thus, based on the above summarised studies on test chemical, it can be concluded that LD50 value is >2000 mg/kg bw. Thus, comparing this value with the criteria of CLP regulation, the given test chemical cannot be classified for acute oral toxicity.
Acute Inhalation Toxicity:
The acute inhalation toxicity study need not be conducted because exposure to humans via inhalation route is not likely taking into account due to the low vapour pressure of the test chemical, which is reported to be 0.000116 Pa. Thus, exposure to inhalable dust, mist and vapour of the chemical is highly unlikely. Therefore this study is considered for waiver.
Acute Dermal Toxicity:
In different studies, the given test chemical has been investigated for acute dermal toxicity to a greater or lesser extent. Often are the studies based on in-vivo experiments in rodents, i.e. most commonly in rats and rabbits for test chemical. The studies are summarized as below –
The acute dermal toxicity profile of test chemical was performed in Sprague Dawley rats according to OECD Guideline 402 (Acute Dermal Toxicity).
The test item was applied to shorn skin of 5 male and 5 female animals at 2000 mg/kg body weight. Animals were observed for clinical signs, mortality, until sacrifice. Onset, duration and severity of any sign were recorded. The clinical signs and mortality observations were conducted at 10, 30, 60 minutes, 2, 4 and 6 hours on the day of dosing and once daily thereafter for 14 day. Daily observation was done as far as possible at the same time. The observations were included general clinical signs, observations of eyes, mucous membranes, respiratory, circulatory system and behaviour pattern. Individual animal body weights were recorded pre-test (prior to administration of the test item), day 7 and at termination on day 14. Necropsy was performed on animals surviving at the end of the study. Macroscopic examination of all the orifices, cavities and tissues were made and the findings were recorded. All animals surviving the study period were sacrificed by the carbon dioxide asphyxiation technique (day 15).
Administration of the test item at 2000 mg/kg did not result in any skin reaction at the site of application during the study period of 14 days. Administration of the test item did not result in any signs of toxicity and mortality during the study period of 14 days. Animals exhibited normal body weight gain through the study period of 14 days. Gross pathological examination did not reveal any abnormalities attributable to the treatment.
Hence, LD50 was considered to be >2000mg/kg bw, when male and female Sprague Dawley rats was treated with test chemical by dermal application.
The above study is supported with another study available in authoritative database and conducted on rabbits for the test chemical. The acute dermal toxicity study was conducted at the concentration of 2000 mg/kg bw. Animals were observed for mortality. No mortality was observed in treated rabbits at2000 mg/kg bw. Therefore, LD50 value was considered to be >2000 mg/kg bw, when rabbits were treated with the given test chemical by dermal application to the skin.
Both the above studies are further supported with the study mentioned in authoritative database. The reported study was designed and conducted to determine the acute dermal toxicity profile of the given test chemical.In this study, rabbits were treated by dermal application at the dose concentration of 2000 mg/kg bw.
Animals were observed for mortality. No mortality was observed in treated rabbits at 2000 mg/kg bw. Clinical signs like the skin after systemic exposure cause dermatitis and other changes in skin and appendages were observed. Also effect on kidney, ureter, and bladder and changes in urine composition were noted.
Therefore, the LD50 value was considered to be >2000 mg/kg bw, when rabbits were treated with the given test chemical by dermal application.
Thus, based on the above summarised studies on test chemical, it can be concluded that LD50 value is >2000 mg/kg bw. Thus, comparing this value with the criteria of CLP regulation, the given test chemical cannot be classified for acute dermal toxicity.
Justification for classification or non-classification
Based on the above studies on test chemical, it can be concluded that LD50 value is >2000 mg/kg bw, for acute oral and acute dermal toxicity. Thus, comparing this value with the criteria of CLP regulation, the given test chemical cannot be classified for acute oral and acute dermal toxicity. For acute inhalation toxicity wavier was added so, not possible to classify.
