Additional information

The acute toxicity of the test material was investigated following oral administration of a single dose to the rat, according to the OECD Guideline 401.


The test substance was administered to rats of both sexes by oral gavage, at a dose of 2000 mg/kg.
The following death rate was observed:
0% at 0 mg/kg (control group)
0% at 2000 mg/kg


No clinical signs of toxicity were observed during the observation period.


The acute oral LD50 of the test substance in rats of both sexes, observed over a period of 14 days, was estimated to be greater than 2000 mg/kg.


 


The acute toxicity of the test material was investigated following dermal administration of a single dose to the rat, according to the OECD Guideline 402. A single dose of 2000 mg/kg was administered to a group of 5 male and 5 female animals for 24 hours, under semiocclusive dressing. Animals were observed up to day 15. After 14 days, all animals were killed and subjected to necropsy examination.


No mortality occurred and no signs of toxicity were observed in male or female animals during the observation period. No significant abnormalities were found at necropsy in the animals at termination of the study.


LD50 > 2000 mg/kg

Justification for classification or non-classification

The CLP Regulation (EC 1272/2008), Annex I, Part 3, Table 3.1.1 gives the following criteria for acute oral and dermal toxicity: "Category 4: 300 < ATE ≤ 2000," where ATE is acute toxicity estimates in mg/kg bodyweight.


 


Based on the test material, LD50 was determined to be > 2000 mg/kg bw both for oral and dermal exposure therefore, the test substance is not classified for acute toxicity.
