Dose descriptor:
LD50
Effect level:
> 300 - <= 2 000 mg/kg bw
Based on:
test mat.
Mortality:
3/3 in 2000mg/kg bw dose group, 1h post dose
1/6 in 300mg/kg bw dose group, 23h 15min post dose
Clinical signs:
other: 2000mg/kg bw dose group: absence of spontaneous activity (3/3), Preyer's reflex (3/3), righting reflex (3/3), muscle tone (3/3), bradypnoea (3/3), salvation (1/3) 300mg/kg bw dose group: decrease of spontaneous activity (2/5), salvation (2/5), piloerectio

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
Toxicity Category IV
Remarks:
Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
Conclusions:
The LD50 of the test item barium bis(2-ethylhexanoate) is higher than 300mg/kg bw and lower than 2000mg/kg bw by oral route in the rat.
In accordance with directive 67/548/EEC, the test item barium bis(2-ethylhexanoate) has to be classified with Xn, R22 (Harmful if swallowed).
In accordance with regulation (EC) 1272/2008 the test item barium bis(2-ethylhexanoate) has to be classified in category 4, H302 (Harmful if swallowed) and the signal word "Warning" be assigned.
