Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Test material

Reference
Name:
Unnamed
Type:
Constituent
Details on test material:
- Name of test material (as cited in study report): Gelb LD 6259 (No 08/0646-1)
- Physical state: solid/ sun yellow
- Analytical purity: 87.6 area% (230 nm) rather 89.1 area% (400 nm) (Method: HPLC)
- Lot/batch No.: 0817 VP 01
- Stability under test conditions: the stability under storage conditions over the study period was guaranteed by the sponsor, and the sponsor holds this responsibility
- Storage condition of test material: room temperature
- Other: the test substance was homogeneous by visual inspection.

Test animals

Species:
rat
Strain:
other: Wistar / Crl:WI (Han)
Sex:
female
Details on test animals or test system and environmental conditions:
TEST ANIMALS
- Source: Charles River Wiga GmbH, Sandhofer Weg 7, 97633 Sulzfeld, Germany
- Age at study initiation: young adult animals (female animals approx. 12 weeks)
- Weight at study initiation: animals of comparable weight (± 20% of the mean weight)
- Fasting period before study: feed was withdrawn from the animals at least 16 hours before administration, but water was available ad libitum.
- Housing: Makrolon cage, type III; single housing
- Diet (e.g. ad libitum): VRF1(P); SDS Special Diets Services, 67122 Altrip, Germany)
- Water (e.g. ad libitum): tap water
- Acclimation period: acclimatization period at least 5 days before the beginning of the experimental phase; during the acclimatization period, the animals were accustomed to the environmental conditions of the study and to the diet.

ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS
- Temperature (°C): the animals were housed in fully air-conditioned rooms. Central air-conditioning guaranteed a range of 20 – 24°C for temperature
- Humidity (%): 20 – 80% for relative humidity
- Photoperiod (hrs dark / hrs light): 12 h / 12 h (6.00 a.m. – 6.00 p.m. / 6.00 p.m. – 6.00 a.m.)

Administration / exposure

Route of administration:
oral: gavage
Vehicle:
other: Olive oil Ph.Eur.
Details on oral exposure:
VEHICLE
- Concentration in vehicle: 20 g/100 mL
- Amount of vehicle (if gavage): 10 mL/kg bw
- Justification for choice of vehicle: good homogeneity in Olive oil Ph.Eur.

MAXIMUM DOSE VOLUME APPLIED:

DOSAGE PREPARATION (if unusual):
The test-substance preparation was produced for each test group shortly before administration by stirring with a high speed homogenizer (Ultra-Turrax) and a magnetic stirrer.
The homogeneity of the test-substance preparation during application was provided by stirring with a magnetic stirrer.

CLASS METHOD (if applicable)
- Rationale for the selection of the starting dose: by the request of the sponsor a starting dose of 2000 mg/kg body weight had been chosen in the first step with 3 female animals. Because no animal died at the first step, 2000 mg/kg body weight was administered to another group of 3 female animals in the second step.
Doses:
2000 mg/kg bw
No. of animals per sex per dose:
3 females per group (2 groups evaluated)
Control animals:
no
Details on study design:
- Duration of observation period following administration: 14 days
- Frequency of observations and weighing: individual body weights shortly before administration (day 0), weekly thereafter and on the last day of observation. Recording of signs and symptoms several times on the day of administration, at least once each workday for the individual animals; these records are maintained with the raw data. a check for any dead or moribund animal was made twice each workday and once on weekends and on public holidays.
- Necropsy of survivors performed: yes; necropsy with gross-pathology examination on the last day of the observation period after sacrifice by CO2- inhalation in a chamber with increasing concentrations over time.
- Other examinations performed: clinical signs, organ weights
Statistics:
not applicable
