- Details on inhalation exposure:
- GENERATION OF TEST ATMOSPHERE / CHAMBER DESCRIPTION
- Exposure apparatus: exposure chamber based on the directed flow nose only inhalation chamber (Am. Ind. Hyg Assoc. J. 44(12): 923-928, 1983)
- Exposure chamber volume: not indicated
- Method of holding animals in test chamber: polycarbonate restraining tubes
- Source and rate of air: at least 1 L/min (theoretical air flow in each animal port); mean total air flow: 22 L/min (first test group) and 28 L/min (second test group)
- System of generating aerosols: nebulization of the test item with pressurized air: the test item was transferred to a Collison nebulizer by means of a rotating pump (type VL500 digit, VERDER Lab Tec GmbH & Co. KG, Haan, Germany) in order to maintain a constant level of freshly available test item. The primary aerosol was subsequently diluted with pressurized air before it entered the exposure chamber
- Method of particle size determination: samples were drawn with a flow of 2 L/min. from the test atmosphere through a tube mounted in one of the free animal ports of the exposure chamber. The samples were collected with an 8 stage Marple personal cascade impactor containing fiber glass filters (TE-290-GF. Tisch Environmental, Cleves, Ohio, USA) and a fiber glass back-up filter (SEC- 290-F1, Westech, Upper Stondon, Bedfordshire, England). Amounts of test item collected were measured gravimetrically.
- Treatment of exhaust air: filtered and released to the exhaust of the fume hood
- Temperature and humidity in air chamber: 20.8-21.6 °C and 5-10%
TEST ATMOSPHEREn (see table 1 and 2 for MMAD and GSD)
- Brief description of analytical method used: Samples were drawn from the test atmosphere through a tube mounted in one of the free animal ports of the exposure chamber. Samples were drawn through a glass fiber filter. Sample volumes were measured by means of a dry gas meter. The collected amount of test item in the air sample was measured gravimetrically.
- Samples taken from breathing zone: yes, a total of 15 and 18 representative samples were taken for determination of the actual concentration during the first and second treatment group, respectively.
CLASS METHOD (if applicable)
- Rationale for the selection of the starting concentration: trial generation results showed that the test item was not volatile and the test atmosphere consisted mainly of aerosol with a negligibly small (if any) vapor part. Trial generation results showed that it was not possible to generate a suitable test atmosphere sufficiently stable at the highest target concentration. Instead, the generation was performed at the technically maximum attainable concentration. - Analytical verification of test atmosphere concentrations:
- yes
- Duration of exposure:
- 4 h
- Concentrations:
- 5 mg/L for both test groups
- No. of animals per sex per dose:
- 3 animals were initially exposed, 2 animals were additionally exposed
- Control animals:
- no
- Details on study design:
- - Duration of observation period following administration: 14 days
- Frequency of observations and weighing:
During exposure: mortality, behavioral signs of distress and effects on respiration at least three times a day
After exposure: mortality: twice daily; clinical signs: at least two times on the day of exposure and once daily thereafter
Body weights (individually): on day 1, 2, 4, 8 and 15.
- Necropsy of survivors performed: yes
- Other examinations performed: descriptions of all internal macroscopic abnormalities were recorded.
Results and discussion
Effect levels
- Key result
- Sex:
- male/female
- Dose descriptor:
- LC50
- Effect level:
- > 5 mg/L air (analytical)
- Based on:
- test mat.
- Exp. duration:
- 4 h
- Mortality:
- No mortality occurred.
- Clinical signs:
- other: During exposure, slow breathing was seen. After exposure, lethargy, hunched posture, labored respiration, chromodacryorrhea (nose) and ptosis were seen for the animals on days 1 and/or 2.
- Body weight:
- Overall body weight gain in males and females was within the range expected for rats of this strain and age used in this type of study, except for one female which showed body weight loss up to Day 8. This female regained weight during the second week.
- Gross pathology:
- No abnormalities were found at macroscopic post mortem examination of the animals.
- Other findings:
- - Actual exposure concentrations: for the initially exposed group, the time weighted mean actual concentration was 5.0 ± 0.1 mg/L. The nominal concentration was 7.2 mg/L and the generation efficiency was 70%. For the additionally exposed group, the time weighted mean actual concentration was 5.1 ± 0.1 mg/L. The nominal concentration was 6.8 mg/L and the generation efficiency was 76%.
- Particle size: the Mass Median Aerodynamic Diameter (MMAD) and geometric standard deviation (gsd) were determined twice during each exposure period (see table 1 and 2).

Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Interpretation of results:
- GHS criteria not met
- Remarks:
- Not classified according to Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008
- Conclusions:
- In an acute inhalation study, performed according to OECD 403 and GLP, the LC50 of FRET 13-0545 in rats was established to exceed 5 mg/L. Based on these results, the test item is not classified according to GHS and Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008.
- Executive summary:
In an acute inhalation study, performed according to OECD 403 and GLP, FRET 13-0545 was administered as an aerosol by nose only inhalation for 4 hours to one group of three male and three female Wistar rats. This group was expanded with another two animals of each sex on a later time span to meet the guideline requirements.
For the initially exposed animals, the time-weighted mean actual concentration was 5.0 ± 0.1mg/L, and the MMAD was 3.7 μm (gsd 1.9)(twice). For the additionally exposed animals, the time-weighted mean actual concentration was 5.1 ± 0.1mg/L, the MMAD was 3.7 μm (gsd 1.8) and 3.5 μm (gsd 1.7) (measured twice).
The inhalation LC50, 4h value of FRET 13-0545 in Wistar rats was established to exceed 5 mg/L.
Based on these results FRET 13-0545 does not have to be classified and has no obligatory labelling requirement for acute inhalation toxicity according to the Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labelling of Chemicals (GHS) of the United Nations (2015)
(including all amendments) and Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008 on classification, labelling and packaging of items and mixtures (including all amendments).
