Description of key information
Acute oral toxicity:
Data available for the structurally and functionally similar read across chemicals has been reviewed to determine the acute oral toxicity of the test chemical Castor oil, sulfated (CAS no.: 8002-33-3). The studies are as mentioned below:
1. Acute Oral toxicity study was conducted by using test chemical in 20 fasted rats at oral dose 39.8 g/kg as a 90% w/v concentration in corn oil. Animals were observed for mortality for 14 days. No mortality was observed at 39800 mg/kg bw. Therefore, LD50 was considered to be >39800 mg/kg bw, when 20 male and female rats were treated with test chemical via oral route.
2. Acute Oral toxicity study was conducted by using test chemical in 10 Sprague-Dawley rats at oral dose 20.0 g/kg bw. Animals were observed for mortality for 14 days. Necropsy was performed. No mortality was observed at 20000 mg/kg bw. At necropsy, none of the animals had gross lesions. Therefore, LD50 was considered to be >20000 mg/kg bw, when 10 male and female Sprague-Dawley rats were treated with test chemical via oral route.
Thus, based on the above summarised studies, Castor oil, sulfated (CAS no.: 8002-33-3) and it’s structurally similar read across substances, it can be concluded that LD50 value is >2000 mg/kg bw. Thus, comparing this value with the criteria of CLP regulation, Castor oil, sulfated (CAS no.: 8002-33-3) cannot be classified for acute oral toxicity. Hence, Castor
oil, sulfated is not likely to be toxic in the dose range of >20000 - >39800 mg/Kg bw.
Acute Dermal Toxicity:
Data available for the structurally and functionally similar read across chemicals has been reviewed to determine the acute dermal toxicity of the test chemical Castor oil, sulfated (CAS no.: 8002-33-3). The studies are as mentioned below:
1. Acute Dermal toxicity study was conducted by using test chemical in 8 male and female albino rabbits at dose of 6800 mg/kg and 10200 mg/kg bw. 2 groups of 2 male and 2 female albino rabbits received a 24-hour patch test of a cosmetic cleansing cream containing 3% test chemical. One group received the undiluted product in a dose of 6.8 g/kg; the other, 10.2 g/kg. Animals were observed for mortality and clinical signs for 14 days. No mortality was observed at 10200 mg/kg bw. Abnormal behaviour, adverse body weight changes, or gross alterations were noted during the 14-day observation period. At the end of the 24-hour contact period, definite red, well-defined erythema was observed at the contact site on each animal. The erythema subsided by Day 7. Therefore, LD50 was considered to be >10200 mg/kg bw, when 8 male and female albino rabbits were treated with test chemical by dermal application.
2. The study was designed and conducted to determine the acute dermal toxicity profile of test chemical in Sprague Dawley rats. The test item was applied to shorn skin of 5 male and 5 female animals at 2000 mg/kg body weight. Administration of the test item at 2000 mg/kg did not result in any skin reaction at the site of application during the study period of 14 days. Administration of the test item did not result in any signs of toxicity and mortality during the study period of 14 days. Animals exhibited normal body weight gain through the study period of 14 days. Gross pathological examination did not reveal any abnormalities attributable to the treatment. It was concluded that the acute dermal median lethal dose (LD50) of test chemical, when administered to male and female Sprague Dawley rats was found to be >2000 mg/kg body weight. Thus, according to CLP criteria for acute toxicity rating for the chemicals, it infers that given test chemical does not classify as an acute dermal toxicant. CLP Classification: “Not classified”.
Thus, based on the above summarised studies, Castor oil, sulfated (CAS no.: 8002-33-3) and it’s structurally similar read across substances, it can be concluded that LD50 value is >2000 mg/kg bw. Thus, comparing this value with the criteria of CLP regulation, Castor oil, sulfated (CAS no.: 8002-33-3) cannot be classified for acute dermal toxicity. Hence, Castor oil, sulfated is not likely to be toxic in the dose range of >2000 - >10200 mg/Kg bw for acute dermal toxicity.

- Executive summary:
Data available for the structurally and functionally similar read across chemicals has been reviewed to determine the acute dermal toxicity of the test chemical Castor oil, sulfated (CAS no.: 8002-33-3). The studies are as mentioned below:
1. Acute Dermal toxicity study was conducted by using test chemical in 8 male and female albino rabbits at dose of 6800 mg/kg and 10200 mg/kg bw. 2 groups of 2 male and 2 female albino rabbits received a 24-hour patch test of a cosmetic cleansing cream containing 3% test chemical. One group received the undiluted product in a dose of 6.8 g/kg; the other, 10.2 g/kg. Animals were observed for mortality and clinical signs for 14 days. No mortality was observed at 10200 mg/kg bw. Abnormal behaviour, adverse body weight changes, or gross alterations were noted during the 14-day observation period. At the end of the 24-hour contact period, definite red, well-defined erythema was observed at the contact site on each animal. The erythema subsided by Day 7. Therefore, LD50 was considered to be >10200 mg/kg bw, when 8 male and female albino rabbits were treated with test chemical by dermal application.
2. The study was designed and conducted to determine the acute dermal toxicity profile of test chemical in Sprague Dawley rats. The test item was applied to shorn skin of 5 male and 5 female animals at 2000 mg/kg body weight. Administration of the test item at 2000 mg/kg did not result in any skin reaction at the site of application during the study period of 14 days. Administration of the test item did not result in any signs of toxicity and mortality during the study period of 14 days. Animals exhibited normal body weight gain through the study period of 14 days. Gross pathological examination did not reveal any abnormalities attributable to the treatment. It was concluded that the acute dermal median lethal dose (LD50) of test chemical, when administered to male and female Sprague Dawley rats was found to be >2000 mg/kg body weight. Thus, according to CLP criteria for acute toxicity rating for the chemicals, it infers that given test chemical does not classify as an acute dermal toxicant. CLP Classification: “Not classified”.
Thus, based on the above summarised studies, Castor oil, sulfated (CAS no.: 8002-33-3) and it’s structurally similar read across substances, it can be concluded that LD50 value is >2000 mg/kg bw. Thus, comparing this value with the criteria of CLP regulation, Castor oil, sulfated (CAS no.: 8002-33-3) cannot be classified for acute dermal toxicity. Hence, Castor oil, sulfated is not likely to be toxic in the dose range of >2000 - >10200 mg/Kg bw for acute dermal toxicity.

Acute oral toxicity:
Data available for the structurally and functionally similar read across chemicals has been reviewed to determine the acute oral toxicity of the test chemical Castor oil, sulfated (CAS no.: 8002-33-3). The studies are as mentioned below:
1. Acute Oral toxicity study was conducted by using test chemical in 20 fasted rats at oral dose 39.8 g/kg as a 90% w/v concentration in corn oil. Animals were observed for mortality for 14 days. No mortality was observed at 39800 mg/kg bw. Therefore, LD50 was considered to be >39800 mg/kg bw, when 20 male and female rats were treated with test chemical via oral route.
2. Acute Oral toxicity study was conducted by using test chemical in 10 Sprague-Dawley rats at oral dose 20.0 g/kg bw. Animals were observed for mortality for 14 days. Necropsy was performed. No mortality was observed at 20000 mg/kg bw. At necropsy, none of the animals had gross lesions. Therefore, LD50 was considered to be >20000 mg/kg bw, when 10 male and female Sprague-Dawley rats were treated with test chemical via oral route.
Thus, based on the above summarised studies, Castor oil, sulfated (CAS no.: 8002-33-3) and it’s structurally similar read across substances, it can be concluded that LD50 value is >2000 mg/kg bw. Thus, comparing this value with the criteria of CLP regulation, Castor oil, sulfated (CAS no.: 8002-33-3) cannot be classified for acute oral toxicity. Hence, Castor
oil, sulfated is not likely to be toxic in the dose range of >20000 - >39800 mg/Kg bw.

One group received the undiluted product in a dose of 6.8 g/kg; the other, 10.2 g/kg. Animals were observed for mortality and clinical signs for 14 days. No mortality was observed at 10200 mg/kg bw. Abnormal behaviour, adverse body weight changes, or gross alterations were noted during the 14-day observation period. At the end of the 24-hour contact period, definite red, well-defined erythema was observed at the contact site on each animal. The erythema subsided by Day 7. Therefore, LD50 was considered to be >10200 mg/kg bw, when 8 male and female albino rabbits were treated with test chemical by dermal application.
2. The study was designed and conducted to determine the acute dermal toxicity profile of test chemical in Sprague Dawley rats. The test item was applied to shorn skin of 5 male and 5 female animals at 2000 mg/kg body weight. Administration of the test item at 2000 mg/kg did not result in any skin reaction at the site of application during the study period of 14 days. Administration of the test item did not result in any signs of toxicity and mortality during the study period of 14 days. Animals exhibited normal body weight gain through the study period of 14 days. Gross pathological examination did not reveal any abnormalities attributable to the treatment. It was concluded that the acute dermal median lethal dose (LD50) of test chemical, when administered to male and female Sprague Dawley rats was found to be >2000 mg/kg body weight. Thus, according to CLP criteria for acute toxicity rating for the chemicals, it infers that given test chemical does not classify as an acute dermal toxicant. CLP Classification: “Not classified”.
Thus, based on the above summarised studies, Castor oil, sulfated (CAS no.: 8002-33-3) and it’s structurally similar read across substances, it can be concluded that LD50 value is >2000 mg/kg bw. Thus, comparing this value with the criteria of CLP regulation, Castor oil, sulfated (CAS no.: 8002-33-3) cannot be classified for acute dermal toxicity. Hence, Castor oil, sulfated is not likely to be toxic in the dose range of >2000 - >10200 mg/Kg bw for acute dermal toxicity.
Justification for classification or non-classification
Based on the above experimental studies on Castor oil, sulfated (CAS no.: 8002-33-3) and it’s structurally similar related read across substances, it can be concluded that LD50 value is >2000 mg/kg bw, for acute oral and dermal toxicity. Thus, comparing this value with the criteria of CLP regulation, Castor oil, sulfated cannot be classified for acute oral and dermal toxicity.
