Details on test animals or test system and environmental conditions:

Six Sprague Dawley rats (SPF Caw), supplied by Elevage JANVIER LABS (53940 Le Genest St Isle – France), were used after an acclimatization period of at least five days. The animals were nulliparous and non-pregnant.
At the beginning of the study, the animals were 8 weeks old. They were identified prior to inclusion in the test by means of a numbered ring on the edge of one ear.

Healthy female rats were housed by group of three in solid-bottomed clear polycarbonate cages with a stainless-steel mesh lid. Each cage contains sawdust bedding which was changed at least 2 times a week. Each cage was installed in conventional air-conditioned animal husbandry.

The temperature and relative humidity of the main test were controlled to remain within target ranges of 19°C to 25°C and 30% to 70%, respectively.

The rate of air exchange was at least ten changes per hour and the lighting was controlled by a time switch to give twelve hours continuous light (07.00 to 19.00) and twelve hours darkness.

Drinking water (tap-water from public distribution system) and foodstuff (ENVIGO - 2016) were supplied ad libitum. Food was removed on D-1 and then redistributed 4 hours after the test item administration.

Microbiological and chemical analyses of the water were carried out once every six months by Bureau Veritas – Eurofins (FRANCE).

Conclusions:

The LD50 of the test item is higher than 2000 mg/kg body weight. In accordance with the O.E.C.D. Test Guideline No. 423, the LD50 cut-off of the test item may be considered as 5000 mg/kg body weight by oral route in the rat.

The test item does not have to be classified in accordance with the Regulation EC No. 1272/2008 on classification, labelling and packaging of substances and mixtures.
No signal word or hazard statement is required.

Executive summary:

The test item was administered to a group of 6 female Sprague Dawley rats at the dose of 2000 mg/kg body weight.

The experimental protocol was established according to the official method as defined in the O.E.C.D. Test Guideline No. 423 dated December 17th, 2001.

No mortality occurred during the study.

No clinical signs related to the administration of the test item were observed during the study.

The body weight evolution of the animals remained normal during the study.

The macroscopic examination of the animals at the end of the study revealed a white thickening of forestomach in one animal (1/6).

In conclusion, the LD50 of the test item is higher than 2000 mg/kg body weight. In accordance with the O.E.C.D. Test Guideline No. 423, the LD50 cut-off of the test item may be considered as 5000 mg/kg body weight by oral route in the rat.

Details on test animals or test system and environmental conditions:

Three Sprague Dawley rats (SPF Caw), supplied by Elevage JANVIER LABS (53940 Le Genest St Isle – France), were used after an acclimatisation period of at least five days. The animals were nulliparous and non-pregnant.

During the treatment, the animals were kept in individual cages. On D1, the animals were put together into their cage. The rats were kept in solid-bottomed clear polycarbonate cages with a stainless-steel mesh lid. Each cage contains dust free wood shavings which were changed at least 2 times a week.
Each cage was installed in conventional air-conditioned animal husbandry.

The temperature and relative humidity of the main test were controlled to remain within target ranges of 19°C to 25°C and 30% to 70%, respectively.

The rate of air exchange was at least ten changes cycles per hour and the lighting was controlled by a time switch to give twelve hours continuous light (07.00 to 19.00) and twelve hours darkness.

Drinking water (tap-water from public distribution system) and foodstuff (ENVIGO 2016) were supplied ad libitum.
Microbiological and chemical analyses of the water were carried out once every six months by Bureau Veritas – Eurofins (FRANCE).
