- 95% CL:
- >= 1 950 - <= 2 260
- Mortality:
- At the lowest dose, no animal died while at the highest dose all animals (2 males and 3 females) died. At 1580 mg/kg bw, out of the two males and the three females tested, one male died. At 2000 mg/kg bw, from the three males and the two females tested, two males died. Mortality occured in one to six days, mostly within one day.

- Other findings:
- Male animals seemed to be more sensitive since 1 out of 2 and 2 out of 3 male animals tested, died at dose levels of 1580 and 2000 mg/kg bw, respectively, while no female animals died at these doses. Due to limited animal numbers it is justified to add the results of males and females per dose, resulting in an LD50 of 2100 mg/kg bw.

- Executive summary:
An acute oral toxicity study was performed somewhat similar to OECD TG 401. Five rats per group (2 or 3 males and 2 or 3 females) were exposed to the substance in dose levels of 1260, 1580, 2000 and 2510 mg/kg bodyweight and observed for 14 days. At the lowest concentration no animal died, while at the highest concentration all animals died. Male animals seemed to be more sensitive since 1 out of 2 and 2 out of 3 male animals tested, died at dose levels of 1580 and 2000 mg/kg bw, respectively, while no female animals died at these doses. Mortality was observed in one to six days, mostly within one day. Clinical signs included reduced apetite and activity (one to three days in survivors), increasing weakness, ocular discharge and collapsing. At the end of the study, necropsy was performed on the surviving animals which showed normal viscera. Necropsy on animals that died during the study showed lung hyperemia, discoloration in areas of the liver and gastrointestinal inflammation. Due to the limited animal numbers it is justified to add results of males and females per dose, resulting in an LD50 of 2100 mg/kg bw.

- Remarks on result:
- other: Due to the limited number of animals tested, no correct LD50 can be derived.
- Mortality:
- 794 mg/kg bw: only 1 female animal exposed, no death occurred;
1000 mg/kg bw: 2 animals (1 male and 1 female) were exposed from which 1 male animal died at day 6.
2000 mg/kg bw: only 1 female exposed which died at day 2.
3160 mg/kg bw: only 1 male exposed which died at day 1. - Clinical signs:
- other: Reduced appetite and activity (two to four days in survivors), increasing weakness and collapsing were observed.

- In animals who died during the study lung, liver and kidney hyperemia, slightly enlarged gall bladder, darkened spleen and gastrointestinal inflammation were observed. In animals who were sacrificed after the 14 day observation period, viscera appeared normal.
- Interpretation of results:
- other: EU CLP classification: Acute Dermal Toxicity Category 4: Harmful in contact with skin.
- Remarks:
- Though no correct LD50 can be drived, dermal toxicity is observed pointing towards EU CLP classification.
- Conclusions:
- Due to the limited number of animals tested (only one or two per dose), no correct LD50 can be derived. However, despite the limitations of the study it can be seen that the acute dermal toxicity (LD50) of the substance is very likely between 794 and 2000 mg/kg bw.
- Executive summary:
In this study performed somewhat equivalent to OECD TG 402 guideline, 5 rabbits (2 males and 3 females) were exposed to the substance. Only 1 or 2 animals per dose were used at dose levels of 794, 1000, 2000 and 3160 mg/kg bw. At the lowest dose, no mortality was seen, at 1000 mg/kg bw one out of two animals died (in six days), at the two highest dose levels both animals died (in two days and one day, resp.). Reduced appetite and activity (two to four days in survivors), increasing weakness and collapsing were observed. In animals that died during the study lung, liver and kidney hyperemia, slightly enlarged gall bladder, darkened spleen and gastrointestinal inflammation were observed. Animals, which were sacrificed after the 14 day observation period, the viscera appeared normal. Due to the limited number of animals tested, no correct LD50 can be derived. However, despite the limitiations in study design it can be seen that the LD50 is very likely between 794 and 2000 mg/kg bw.

Additional information
Acute oral toxicity
An acute oral toxicity study was performed somewhat similar to OECD TG 401. Five rats per group (2 or 3 males and 2 or 3 females) were exposed to the substance in dose levels of 1260, 1580, 2000 and 2510 mg/kg bodyweight and observed for 14 days. At the lowest concentration no animal died, while at the highest concentration all animals died. Male animals seemed to be more sensitive since 1 out of 2 and 2 out of 3 male animals tested, died at dose levels of 1580 and 2000 mg/kg bw, respectively, while no female animals died at these doses. Mortality was observed in one to six days, mostly within one day. Clinical signs included reduced apetite and activity (one to three days in survivors), increasing weakness, ocular discharge and collapsing. At the end of the study, necropsy was performed on the surviving animals which showed normal viscera. Necropsy on animals that died during the study showed lung hyperemia, discoloration in areas of the liver and gastrointestinal inflammation. Due to the limited animal numbers it is justified to add results of males and females per dose, resulting in an LD50 of 2100 mg/kg bw.
Acute dermal toxicity
In this study performed somewhat equivalent to OECD TG 402 guideline, 5 rabbits (2 males and 3 females) were exposed to the substance. Only 1 or 2 animals per dose were used at dose levels of 794, 1000, 2000 and 3160 mg/kg bw. At the lowest dose, no mortality was seen, at 1000 mg/kg bw one out of two animals died (in six days), at the two highest dose levels both animals died (in two days and one day, resp.). Reduced appetite and activity (two to four days in survivors), increasing weakness and collapsing were observed. In animals that died during the study lung, liver and kidney hyperemia, slightly enlarged gall bladder, darkened spleen and gastrointestinal inflammation were observed. Animals, which were sacrificed after the 14 day observation period, the viscera appeared normal. Due to the limited number of animals tested, no correct LD50 can be derived. However, despite the limitiations in study design it can be seen that the LD50 is very likely between 794 and 2000 mg/kg bw.
Justification for classification or non-classification
Based on the results of the acute oral toxicity study, the substance does not need to be classified for acute oral toxicity according to EU CLP (EC 1272/2008 and its amendments). However, according to GHS the substance would need to be classified into acute oral toxicity Category 5, H303: May be harmful if swallowed.
Though no correct dermal LD50 could be derived, based on the results of the acute dermal toxicity study, the substance is classified into Acute Dermal Toxicity Category 4 of EU CLP (EC 1272/2008 and its amendments) and GHS, H312: Harmful in contact with skin.
