Administrative data

Description of key information

The acute oral LD50 of potassium methylsilanetriolate was determined to be >2000 mg/kg in a study conducted according to OECD 423 (acute toxic class method) and in compliance with GLP (LPT, 2002). No data are available for the dermal or inhalation routes. In accordance with Column 2 of REACH Annex VIII, the inhalation and dermal toxicity studies (required in Sections 8.5.2 and 8.5.3) do not need to be conducted as the substance is classified as corrosive.

Additional information

The key study for acute oral toxicity is the only available acute toxicity study for potassium methylsilanetriolate. An acute oral LD50 value of >2000 mg/kg bw was determined in a reliable study conducted according to an appropriate test protocol, and in compliance with GLP. No mortality occurred. All animals of each sex showed clinical signs of toxicity including slightly reduced motility, slight ataxia, slightly reduced muscle tone and slight dypsnoea up to 1 hour after administation of the test material. All animals gained the expected body weight over the study period. No macroscopic abnormalities were observed at necropsy.


Justification for selection of acute toxicity – oral endpoint
The study was conducted according to an appropriate OECD test guideline and in compliance with GLP.

Justification for selection of acute toxicity – inhalation endpoint
In accordance with Column 2 of REACH Annex VIII, the acute toxicity study via the inhalation route (required in Section 8.5.2) does not need to be conducted as the substance is classified as corrosive.

Justification for selection of acute toxicity – dermal endpoint
In accordance with Column 2 of REACH Annex VIII, the acute toxicity study via the dermal route (required in Section 8.5.3) does not need to be conducted as the substance is classified as corrosive.

Justification for classification or non-classification

Based on the available acute oral toxicity data, potassium methylsilanetriolate does not require classification for acute toxicity

according to Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008. The acute inhalation and dermal endpoints are waived based on the corrosive nature of the substance.
