- Executive summary:
A study was performed to assess the acute oral toxicity of the test material in the Sprague-Dawley CD strain rat according to OECD Guideline 401. A group of ten fasted animals (five males and five females) was given a single oral dose of test material as a solution in dimethyl sulphoxide at a dose level of 2000 mg/kg bodyweight. The animals were observed for fourteen days after the day of dosing and were then killed and subjected to gross pathological examination. Two males were found dead two days after dosing. Common signs of systemic toxicity noted were ataxia, hunched posture, lethargy, decreased respiratory rate and laboured respiration with additional signs or incidents of pilo-erection, ptosis, gasping and noisy respiration, loss of righting reflex, increased salivation, red/brown stains around the mouth or snout and splayed gait. Surviving animals recovered three to six days alter dosing. The LD50 was > 2000 mg/kg.

Additional information
Oral
The acute oral toxicity of the test substance was assessed in a study according to OECD Guideline 401 and in compliance with GLP (1996). Based on a preliminary study, groups of 5 male and female rats were given a test substance dose of 2000 mg/kg bw (limit test) via gavage. 2/5 males and 0/5 females died. All animals revealed signs of toxicity within 24 h, surviving animals recovered on Day 3 - 6. Thus, an oral LD50 > 2000 mg/kg bw was determined.
Dermal
The acute dermal toxicity of the test substance was assessed in a study according to OECD Guideline 402 and in compliance with GLP (1996). Groups of 5 male and 5 female rats were treated with the test substance for 24 hrs at a concentration of 2000 mg/kg bw under semiocclusive conditions. No mortality or signs of toxicity occurred during the study period. Thus, a dermal LD50 > 2000 mg/kg bw was determined.
Justification for classification or non-classification
The available data on acute oral and dermal toxicity of the test substance do not meet the criteria for classification according to Regulation (EC) 1272/2008, and are therefore conclusive but not sufficient for classification.
