Test animals
- Species:
- rat
- Strain:
- Wistar
- Sex:
- female
- Details on test animals or test system and environmental conditions:
- TEST ANIMALS
- Strain: Crl:WI (Han) (outbred, SPF-Quality).
- Age at study initiation: Approximately 9 weeks old.
- Weight at study initiation: 163 to 176 g on the first day of the test. Bodyweight variation did not exceed ± 20 % of the sex mean.
- Fasting period before study: Yes. Animals were deprived of food overnight prior to dosing and until 3 to 4 hours after administration of the test material.
- Housing: Group housing of 3 animals per cage in labelled cages containing sterilised sawdust as bedding material and paper as cage-enrichment.
- Diet (e.g. ad libitum): Free access to pelleted rodent diet.
- Water (e.g. ad libitum): Free access to tap water.
- Acclimation period: At least 5 days.
ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS
- Temperature (°C): 18 to 24 °C.
- Humidity (%): 40 to 70 %.
- Air changes (per hr): Approximately 15 room air changes/hour.
- Photoperiod (hrs dark / hrs light): 12 hour light/12 hour dark cycle.
IN-LIFE DATES: From: 17 July 2012 To: 2 August 2012
Administration / exposure
- Route of administration:
- oral: gavage
- Vehicle:
- unchanged (no vehicle)
- Details on oral exposure:
- MAXIMUM DOSE VOLUME APPLIED: 2.00 mL/kg bodyweight.
Density of the test material was 1 g/cm³. Therefore the dose volume was calculated as dose level (g/kg) / density (g/mL). - Doses:
- 2000 mg/kg bodyweight
- No. of animals per sex per dose:
- 6 female animals; dosed in two groups of 3.
- Control animals:
- no
- Details on study design:
- The test material was assessed by stepwise treatment of groups of 3 females. The first group was treated at a dose level of 2000 mg/kg. The absence or presence of mortality of animals dosed at one step determined the next step, based on the test procedure defined in the guidelines. The onset, duration and severity of the signs of toxicity were taken into account for determination of the time interval between the dose groups.
- Duration of observation period following administration: 15 days
- Frequency of observations and weighing: Animals were observed for mortality/viability twice daily. Animals were weighed on day 1 (prior to dosing) and on days 8 and 15.
At periodic intervals on the day of dosing and once daily thereafter clinical signs were noted. The symptoms were graded according to fixed scales and the time of onset, degree and duration were recorded.
- Necropsy of survivors performed: Yes. At the end of the observation period, all animals were sacrificed by oxygen/carbon dioxide procedure. Descriptions of all internal macroscopic abnormalities were recorded.

Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Interpretation of results:
- not classified
- Remarks:
- Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
- Conclusions:
- Under the conditions of this study, the oral LD50 of the test material was established to be >2000 mg/kg bodyweight and as such requires no classification in accordance with EU criteria.
- Executive summary:
The acute oral toxicity of the test material was investigated in accordance with the standardised guidelines OECD 423, EU Method B.1 tris, EPA OPPTS 870.1100 and JMAFF 12 Nohsan, Notification No. 8147.
The undiluted test material was administered by gavage to two subsequent groups of three female Wistar rats at a dose level of 2000 mg/kg. The animals were observed for 15 days before being subjected to necropsy.
No mortality was seen throughout the study; clinical signs included two animals showing hunched posture on day 1 after dosing. Bodyweight gains were considered to be normal and no macroscopic abnormalities were observed at necropsy.
Under the conditions of this study, the oral LD50 of the test material was established to be >2000 mg/kg bodyweight and as such requires no classification in accordance with EU criteria.
