Conclusions:

The acute lethal oral dose to rats of DV6850 was demonstrated to be greater than 2000 mg/kg bodyweight in accordance with OECD Guideline No. 423. DV6850 is in accordance with DSD (Directive 67/548/EEC) or CLP Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008 "unclassified" and will not require labelling

Executive summary:

This study was performed to assess the acute oral toxicity of DV6850 to the rat. The method followed was that described in EEC Methods for the determination of toxicity, Annex to Directive 96/54/EEC (Official Journal No, L248, 30,9,96). Part B, Method B.1 tris, "Acute toxicity (oral) - acute toxic class method" and OECD Guideline for Testing of Chemicals No.423 “Acute Oral Toxicity - Acute Toxic Class Method” Adopted 22 March 1996.

A group of three fasted female rats received a single oral gavage dose of the test substance, formulated in water for irrigation, at a dose level of 2000 mg/kg. As results at this dosage indicated the acute lethal oral dose of the test material to be greater than 2000 mg/kg bodyweight, in compliance with the study guidelines, a group of three fasted males was dosed at 2000 mg/kg to confirm results at this dosage and complete the study.

All animals were killed as scheduled and examined macroscopically on Day 15, the end of the observation period. No clinical signs of reaction to treatment were observed in any animal throughout the duration of the study. All animals were considered to have achieved satisfactory bodyweight gains throughout the study. No abnormalities were revealed at the macroscopic examination at study termination on Day 15.

The acute lethal oral dose to rats of DV6850 was demonstrated to be greater than 2000 mg/kg bodyweight. DV6850 is in accordance with DSD (Directive 67/548/EEC) or CLP Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008 "unclassified" and will not require labelling.

Conclusions:

The acute lethal dermal dose to rats of DV6850 was demonstrated to be greater than 2000 mg/kg bodyweight. DV6850 is in accordance with DSD (Directive 67/548/EEC) or CLP Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008 "unclassified" and will not require labelling

Executive summary:

A study was performed to assess the acute dermal toxicity of DV6850 to the rat. The method followed was that described in EEC Methods for the determination of toxicity, Annex to Directive 92/69/EEC (Official Journal No. L383A, 29.12_92), Part B, Method B3. "Acute toxicity (dermal)" and OECD Guideline for Testing of Chemicals No, 402 "Acute Dermal Toxicity". Adopted: 24 February 1987.

A group of ten rats (five males and five females) received a single topical application of the test substance, in water for irrigation, at a dose level of 2000 mg/kg bodyweight. All animals were killed and examined macroscopically on Day 15, the end of the observation period.

There were no deaths and no systemic response to treatment in any animal throughout the study.

Very slight to moderate to severe dermal irritation (Grade 1 to 3 erythema with or without Grade 1 or 2 oedema) was observed in all animals following removal of the dressings, resolving completely by either Day 7 in males and Day 9 in females. In addition, desquamation (characterised by dryness/exfoliation) was seen in four males and all females from Day 3, resolving in three males by Day 12 and two females by Day 14 and persisting in one male and three females until study termination on Day 15. Spots and/or scabbing (confined to a small area of the dose site) were also observed in one male and four females from Day 7, resolving in the male by Day 9 and persisting in all the females until study termination on Day 15.

No bodyweight gain was recorded for one female on both Day 8 and Day 15. A notably low bodyweight gain was seen in one female on Day 8 and one female on Day 15. All other animals were considered to have achieved satisfactory bodyweight gains throughout the study.

Dryness of the dose site was seen at the macroscopic examination of one male and three females with scabbing of the dose site seen in four females. No other abnormalities were revealed at the macroscopic examination at study termination on Day 15.

The acute lethal dermal dose to rats of DV6850 was demonstrated to be greater than 2000 mg/kg bodyweight.

DV6850 is in accordance with DSD (Directive 67/548/EEC) or CLP Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008 "unclassified" and will not require labelling

Endpoint conclusion

Dose descriptor:

Value:

2 000 mg/kg bw

Additional information

The acute oral and dermal toxicity of the source 1 substance were assessed in two valid GLP studies according to OECD TG 423 and 402, respectively. In addition the acute oral and dermal toxicity of the target substance were assessed in two studies equivalent or similar to OECD TG 423 and 402, respectively.

The acute oral toxicity of the source 2 substance was also assessed in a study equivalent or similar to OECD TG 401 as an anchor study for read across purposes. 

 

Acute inhalation toxicity was not assessed because the vapour pressure of the substance is very low (9.9 x 10-7 Pa at 25°C) and exposure to aerosols, particles or droplets of an inhalable size is not anticipated with the uses of the target substance.

 

In the oral toxicity tests on the source 1, source 2 and target substance, rats received a single oral gavage dose of the test substance at a dose level of 2000 mg/kg. All animals were killed as scheduled and examined macroscopically at the end of the observation period (day 15). No signs of toxicity were observed and the acute lethal oral dose of source 1, source 2 and target substance in rats was demonstrated to be greater than 2000 mg/kg bodyweight.

 

In the dermal toxicity test on the source 1 and target substance, rats received a single topical application of the test substance at a dose level of 2000 mg/kg bodyweight. In the dermal toxicity test on source 1 substance, all animals were killed and examined macroscopically at the end of the observation period (day 15). Dermal irritation, desquamation, spots and/or scabbing were observed in some animals and persisted until study termination in some of the affected animals. No or notably low bodyweight gains were observed for three females on Day 8 and/or Day 15. All other animals were considered to have achieved satisfactory bodyweight gains throughout the study. There were no deaths and no systemic response to treatment in any animal throughout the study. The acute lethal dermal dose of Source 1 substance in rats was demonstrated to be greater than 2000 mg/kg bodyweight. In the dermal toxicity test on target substance no mortalities or clinical signs of toxicity were observed during the duration of the study. The LD50 is > 2000 mg/kg and does not meet the criteria for classification under GHS.

Justification for classification or non-classification

As the acute lethal oral and dermal dose to rats of the source and target substances were demonstrated to be greater than 2000 mg/kg bodyweight, the source and target does not have to be classified for acute toxicity according to according to the criteria of Directive 67/548/EEC (DSD) or Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008 (CLP).
