Endpoint conclusion

Endpoint conclusion:

no adverse effect observed

Quality of whole database:

The available information comprises adequate, reliable (Klimisch score 2) and consistent studies, and is thus sufficient to fulfil the standard information requirements set out in Annex VII, 8.5, of Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006.

Acute toxicity: via inhalation route

Endpoint conclusion

Endpoint conclusion:

no study available

Acute toxicity: via dermal route

Endpoint conclusion

Endpoint conclusion:

no study available

Additional information

Two acute oral toxicity studies similar to OECD Guideline 401 are available with the test substance.

In the first study (1983), groups of 5 male and 5 female rats were given a single dose of 2.5, 3.75, 5.0 and 7.5 mL/kg bw. A LD50 of 5.24 mL/kg bw (corresponding to 4716 mg/kg bw based on a density of 0.9 g/cm³) was calculated by the method of Finney (1971) in male and female rats.

In a second study (1978), 10 male and female rats were administered a single dose of 20 mL/kg bw via gavage. 9/20 animals died within 14 days. Thus, a LD50 > 20 mL/kg bw (corresponding to 18000 mg/kg bw based on density of 0.9 mg/cm³) was derived in male and female rats.

Justification for classification or non-classification

The available data on acute oral toxicity do not meet the criteria according to Regulation (EC) 1272/2008, and are therefore conclusive but not sufficient for classification.
