Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Description of key information

Two studies are available:
1) A repeated dose 28-day oral toxicity study by daily gavage in rat (Huntingdon Life Sciences Ltd, 1999) is available which is key study. This study showed that No Observed Adverse Effect Level (NOAEL) for the test substance is 500 mg/kg.
2) A dose range finding study (Huntingdon Life Sciences Ltd, 1999) is available which is supporting study. It is conducted that, although it was not possible to establish a clear No-Observed-Effect Level(NOEL) from this study, the NOAEL was considered to be 500 mg/kg/day and that dosages up to this could be used in the fourthcoming four week study in this species.

Additional information

Repeated dose toxicity: oral

Two studies are available:

1) A repeated dose 28-day oral toxicity study by daily gavage in rat (Huntingdon Life Sciences Ltd, 1999) was conducted according to EU Method B.7. key study. This study showed that No Observed Adverse Effect Level (NOAEL) for the test substance is 500 mg/kg.

2) A dose range finding study (Huntingdon Life Sciences Ltd, 1999) is available which is supporting study. It is conducted that, although it was not possible to establish a clear No-Observed-Effect Level(NOEL) from this study, the NOAEL was considered to be 500 mg/kg/day and that dosages up to this could be used in the fourthcoming four week study in this species.


Justification for selection of repeated dose toxicity via oral route - systemic effects endpoint:
Study run to a method comparable with current guidelines and to GLP

Justification for classification or non-classification

Oral: LOAEL > 2000 mg/kg bw in a study (NOAEL is 500 mg/kg for 28 days)

Therefore in accordance with Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008 Table 3.9.2 and 3.9.3 the substance is not classified for the repeated oral toxicity endpoint.
