Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Vehicle:
other: Distilled water containing 0.5% carboxymethyl cellulose and 0.1% polysorbate 80

MAXIMUM DOSE VOLUME APPLIED: 20 mL/kg body weight

Doses:
5000 mg/kg body weight
No. of animals per sex per dose:
5/sex/dose
Control animals:
other: not required
Details on study design:
- Duration of observation period following administration: 14 days
- Frequency of observations and weighing: Mortality was observed daily (twice per day on working days and once on weekend days).
Body weight - recorded on days 1, 7, 14, and at death
- Necropsy of survivors performed: yes
Spontaneously dying animals were submitted to a gross necropsy as soon as possible; survivors at the end of the observation period.
- Other examinations performed:
Clinical signs - observed daily
Statistics:
From the body weights, the group means and their standard deviation were calculated. Where feasible, the LD50 including the 95% confidence limit were computed by the logit method (J. Berkson, J.Am. Stat. Ass. 39. 357-65, 1944).

Results and discussion

Effect levels
Sex:
male/female
Dose descriptor:
LD50
Effect level:
> 5 000 mg/kg bw
Mortality:
No deaths were observed.
Clinical signs:
Dyspnoea, exophthalmus, ruffled fur, and curved body position were seen in all animals, being common symptoms in acute tests. All animals recovered within 10 days. In addition, a slight tremor was observed shortly after application.
Body weight:
Mean body weight measurements were normal (see table in Remarks on results including tables and figures).
Gross pathology:
No gross lesions were found at necropsy.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
not classified
Remarks:
Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
Conclusions:
The LD50 after single oral administration to rats, observed over a period of 14 days is greater than 5000 mg/kg body weight.
