Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
Eye and nose discharge were only the abnormalities noted.
Executive summary:

The acute inhalation test demonstrates the toxicity of an atmosphere saturated with vapors of the volatile components of a test substance at the temperature chosen for vapor generation (room temperature) (BASF AG, 1965, XV/126). 6 rats per sex were exposed sequentially to the vapors, generated by bubbling 200 L/h air through a substance column of about 5 cm above a fritted glass disc in a glass cylinder for 8 h. The documentation of clinical signs was performed over a period of 7 days.
No mortalities occurred during the observation period. The animals gained weight. Eye and nose discharge were only the abnormalities noted. Gross pathology revealed no signs of toxicity. LC50was not identified.
