Description of key information

The oral toxicity of tetrahydrophthalic Anhydride (THPA) over an exposure period of 4 consecutive weeks and recovery from any potential treatment-related effects over a period of 2 consecutive weeks has been investigated. Methods were in accordance with OECD/EU test guidelines. No clinical signs of toxicity were observed and no significant variations were observed in haematology and clinical chemistry parameters. The high dose of 600 mg/kg/day was considered to be the No Observed Adverse Effect Level (NOAEL) for systemic toxicity and the low dose of 100 mg/kg/day was considered to be the No Observed Adverse Effect Level (NOAEL) for local effects.

Additional information

Justification for classification or non-classification

Those effects of treatment observed following repeated administration of the substance at high doses are not of sufficient severity to justify classification
