Acute Toxicity: oral

Administrative data

Endpoint:

acute toxicity: oral

Type of information:

experimental study

Adequacy of study:

key study

Study period:

28th May to 22nd June 1999 for males, 2nd July to 28th July for females

Reliability:

1 (reliable without restriction)

Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:

other: see 'Remark'

Remarks:

The study was conducted in 1999 in accordance with OECD guideline 420 although not in accordance with GLP. The batch number (807007) and purity (100%) are both noted in the report. A statement of authentication is also provided in the report in lieu of a more formal Quality Assurance procedure. The study is well reported with regards to both the methodology and results. One animal died during the study but no explanation attributing the cause of death is made within the report. There were no abnormalities detected upon necropsy. Due to the lack of observed effects this deviation is not considered to affect the reliability of the study.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:

GHS criteria not met

Conclusions:

Under the conditions of the test, the LD50 of the test material was found to be greater than 2000 mg/kg bw in male and female Wistar rats.

Executive summary:

In a study conducted to OECD 420, the acute oral toxicity of the test material was investigated in male and female Wistar rats using a limit dose of 2000 mg/kg bw. Only one mortatlity was noted during the course of the study, and no treatment related changes were apparent. Under the conditions of the test, the LD50 of the test material was determined to be greater than 2000 mg/kg bw.
