Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.

The new ECHA CHEM database has been released by ECHA, and it now contains all REACH registration data. There are more details on the transition of ECHA's published data to ECHA CHEM here.

Materials and methods

Test guideline
Qualifier:
equivalent or similar to guideline
Guideline:
OECD Guideline 403 (Acute Inhalation Toxicity)
Version / remarks:
(adopted 1981)
Deviations:
yes
Remarks:
No analytical verification of test atmosphere concentration.
Principles of method if other than guideline:
The test demonstrates the toxicity of an atmosphere saturated with vapours of the volatile components of a test substance at the temperature chosen for vapour generation (20 °C). 6 rats per sex were exposed to the vapours or aerosol, generated by bubbling 200 L air/h through a substance column of about 5 cm above a fritted glassdisc in a glass cylinder for 8 h. The documentation of clinical signs was performed over a period of 8 days.
GLP compliance:
no
Test type:
other: Inhalation Risk Test (IRT)
Limit test:
yes

Results and discussion

Effect levels
Sex:
male/female
Dose descriptor:
LC0
Effect level:
0.23 mg/L air (nominal)
Based on:
test mat.
Exp. duration:
8 h
Remarks on result:
other: No mortality was observed when 12 rats were exposed for 8 hours to an atmosphere that had been saturated at 20°C with the volatile parts of the compound.
Mortality:
No mortality occured.
Clinical signs:
other: Slight irritation of mucous membranes.
Body weight:
The animals gained weight: males from 217 g to 244 g on day 8 (mean), and females from 176 g to 192 g (mean).
Gross pathology:
No abnormalities observed.

Any other information on results incl. tables

The test substance concentration was estimated to be approx. 0.23 mg/L at 20 °C. Vapour saturation was retrospectively calculated to be approx. 0.074 µg/L at 20 °C due to the low vapour pressure of the substance.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
No mortality was observed when 12 rats were exposed for 8 hours to an atmosphere that has been saturated at 20 degrees centigrade with the volatile components of the compound. The animals were exposed to a saturated vapour atmosphere.
