Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
The LD50 of the test item Magnesium oxalate is higher than 2000 mg/ kg body weight by oral route in the rat.
In accordance with the O.E.C.D. Test Guideline No. 423, the LD50 cut-off of the test item may be considered to be higher than 5000 mg/ kg body weight by oral route in the rat.
The test item Magnesium oxalate 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 Magnesium oxalate was administered to a group of 6 female Sprague Dawley rats at the dose of 300 mg/kg body weight and then 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 and the test method B.1tris of the Council regulation No. 440/2008.

No mortality was noted in the animals treated at the dose of 300 mg/kg body weight. 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 did not reveal treatment related changes.

Endpoint conclusion
Endpoint conclusion:
no adverse effect observed
Dose descriptor:
LD50
Value:
2 000 mg/kg bw

Acute toxicity: via inhalation route

Link to relevant study records
Reference
Endpoint:
acute toxicity: inhalation
Data waiving:
study scientifically not necessary / other information available
Justification for data waiving:
the study does not need to be conducted because exposure of humans via inhalation is not likely taking into account the vapour pressure of the substance and/or the possibility of exposure to aerosols, particles or droplets of an inhalable size
Justification for type of information:

Executive summary:

The test item Magnesium oxalate was applied, as supplied, onto the intact skin of 3 female Sprague Dawley rats at the single dose of 2000 mg/ kg body weight. The experimental protocol was established on the basis of the method as defined in the O.E.C.D. Test Guideline No. 402 dated October 9th, 2017.

No mortality occurred during the study. No systemic clinical sign related to the administration of the test item was observed. The body weight evolution of the animals remained normal throughout the study. The macroscopic examination of the animals at the end of the study did not reveal treatment-related changes.

In conclusion, the LD50 of the test item Magnesium oxalate is higher than 2000 mg/ kg body weight by dermal route in the rat. The test item Magnesium oxalate 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.

Additional information

Justification for classification or non-classification

No adverse effect is observed at the highest dose tested (2000 mg/ kg body weight for oral and dermal routes), consequently no classification is needed. Nevertheless, existing harmonised classification (Index Number 607-007-00-3) for “salts of oxalic acid with the exception of those specified elsewhere in this Annex” should apply. Consequently, the substance is classified as Acute Tox. 4 (H302) for oral route and Acute Tox. 4 (H312) for dermal route.
