Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
not classified
Remarks:
Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
Conclusions:
The acute oral LD50 of the test substance (trimethylolpropane triacrylate - TMPTA) in rats was calculated to be > 5000 mg/kg bw. Therefore, no classification is required according to EU criteria.
Executive summary:

A study was conducted to assess the single dose toxicity of the test substance (trimethylolpropane triacrylate - TMPTA) in Sprague-Dawley rats using the standard acute method.

Groups of 5 Sprague-Dawley rats/dose (sex unspecified) received a single oral (gavage) dose of 50.0, 127.5, 315.1, 785, 1999, 5000 mg/kg. The test substance (trimethylolpropane triacrylate - TMPTA). The three lower doses were administered as 10% suspensions stabilized by the incorporation of 5% acacia, while the three higher doses were administered undiluted. Parameters evaluated included survival and clinical observations on the day of dosing and at least daily thereafter for 14 d.

No mortalities were observed except in two of the five animals in the 5000 mg/kg bw group.

In conclusion, the single oral median lethal dose (LD50) of the test substance (trimethylolpropane triacrylate - TMPTA) in rats was calculated to be >5000 mg/kg bw.
