The acute oral toxicity of the substance was investigated according to the OECD guideline 401 (1987). Five male and five female Sprague-Dawley rats received a single dose of 2000 mg/kg bw in arachis oil B.P. by gavage. Clinical signs, mortality, and body weight were recorded. All animals were subjected to gross necropsy.
Mortality or abnormalities at necropsy were not observed during the study. Common signs of systemic toxicity noted were lethargy and ataxia with isolated incidents of hunched posture. Animals recovered one day after dosing except for one female which appeared normal throughout the study. Lastly, all animals gained the expected weight during the observation period.
Thus, the LD50 was considered to be greater than 2000 mg/kg bw for male and female rats. According to the Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008 and subsequent adaptations, the substance is not acute toxic via the oral route.

The acute dermal toxicity of the substance was investigated according to the OECD guideline 402 (1981). The substance was applied to clipped skin of five male and five female Sprague-Dawley rats at a dose level of 2000 mg/kg bw and covered with a semi-occlusive dressing. The application site had been moistened with arachis oil B.P. before application.The application site was exposed for 24 hours and the test sites were cleaned using a cotton wool moistened with arachis oil to remove any residual test substance. Clinical signs, mortality, adverse dermal reactions and body weight were recorded during the 14 day observation period. All animals were subjected to necropsy at the end of the study.
No mortality occurred and no signs of systemic toxicity were noted during the study. Moderate erythema was noted at the treatment sites of all females two and three days after dosing. Desquamation was also noted at the treatment site of one female three to five days after dosing. No signs of skin irritation were noted in males during the study. Furthermore, all animals showed expected gain in bodyweight during the study and no abnormalities were noted at necropsy.

Additional information
Justification for classification or non-classification
Acute oral toxicity
The substance is not acutely toxic via the oral route based on an acute oral toxicity test (OECD 401) and does not require classification according to Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008 and subsequent adaptations.
Specific target organ toxicant (STOT) - single exposure: oral
Reversible or irreversible adverse health effects were not observed immediately or after exposure in an acute oral toxicity test (OECD 401).Thus, the classification criteria as specific target organ toxicant (STOT) – single exposure, oral are not met and the substance does not require classification according to Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008 and subsequent adaptations.
Acute dermal toxicity
The substance is not acutely toxic via the dermal route based on an acute dermal toxicity test (OECD 402) and does not require classification according to Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008 and subsequent adaptations.
Specific target organ toxicant (STOT) - single exposure: dermal
Reversible or irreversible adverse health effects were not observed immediately or after exposure in an acute dermal toxicity test (OECD 402).Thus, the classification criteria as specific target organ toxicant (STOT) – single exposure, dermal are not met and the substance does not require classification according to Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008 and subsequent adaptations.
