Interpretation of results:
other: Not classified
Conclusions:
In these test conditions, the acute dermal LD50 value of Trichloroacetyl chloride was found to be higher to 2000 mg/kg.
Executive summary:

The study was performed to assess the acute dermal toxicity of Trichloroacetyl chloride (TCAC) in the rat. The method followed was similar to OECD Guideline 402 and the study was not performed in accordance with GLP.

Ten animals (5 males and 5 females) were exposed to single dermal dose level of 2000 mg/kg. All animals were subjected to observations and determination of body weight. Macroscopic examination was performed after terminal sacrifice. No mortality occurred at the dose level of 2000 mg/kg and there was no clinical sign. Macroscopic examination of the main organs of the animals revealed no apparent abnormalities except cutaneous reactions (Day 7: purulent lesions - Day 14: persistence of skin lesions).

The acute dermal LD50 value of TCAC was higher to 2000 mg/kg.

In these test conditions, TCAC is not classified according to the UN GHS and CLP criteria.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
Category 4 based on GHS criteria
Conclusions:
In these test conditions, the acute oral LD50 value of Trichloroacetyl chloride was 1643 mg/kg according to Probit method or Litchfield and Wilcoxon method.
Executive summary:

The study was performed to assess the acute oral toxicity of Trichloroacetyl chloride (TCAC) in the rat. The method followed was similar to the OECD Guideline 401 and the study was not performed in accordance with GLP.

TCAC was administered to five Sprague-Dawley rats of each sex. The animals were exposed to single oral dose levels of 1000, 1200, 1500, 1600 and 1800 mg/kg. All animals were subjected to observations and determination of body weight. Macroscopic examination was performed on the day of death. At 1800 mg/kg, 8 animals died. Autopsies revealed hemorrhagic stomach, lungs and thymus. At 1600 mg/kg, 4 females died between Day 1 and 2 and one male at Day 12. At the autopsy, animals presented hemorrhagic lesions onto lungs and stomach. For the male died at Day 12, the autopsy revealed that the stomach was joint to the peritoneum, kidney were granular and hemorrhagic aspect, thymic involution. At 1500 mg/kg, one female died and the autopsy revealed hemorrhagic lesions onto lungs and stomach. At 1000 and 1200 mg/kg, there is no mortality.

The acute oral LD50 value of TCAC was 1643 mg/kg according to Probit method or Litchfield and Wilcoxon method.

In these test conditions, TCAC is classified harmful if swallowed according to the UN GHS and CLP criteria.
