Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.

The new ECHA CHEM database has been released by ECHA, and it now contains all REACH registration data. There are more details on the transition of ECHA's published data to ECHA CHEM here.

Description of key information

Based on a GLP compliant acute toxic class study (OECD 423) in female rats the median lethal dose (LD50) of the test substance after oral administration was found to be greater than 2000 mg/kg.

Additional information

In an acute oral toxicity study performed according to the Acute Toxic Class Method, doses of 2000 and 300 mg/kg bw of the test item (undiluted or preparations in corn oil Ph.Eur.) were administered by gavage to three test groups of three fasted Wistar rats each (2000 mg/kg bw in 6 females and 300 mg/kg bw in 3 females).

The following test substance-related clinical observations were recorded, clinical signs occurred within the first 4 hours after administration:

Experiments were conducted with 3 test groups (1st and 2nd test group for 2000 mg/kg bw, 3rd test group 300 mg/kg bw)

2000 mg/kg (first test group):

- No mortality occurred

- No clinical signs were observed

2000 mg/kg (second test group):

- No mortality occurred

- Impaired general state in all animals

- Dyspnoea in all animals

- Piloerection in all animals

- Cowering position in all animals

300 mg/kg (single test group):

- No mortality occurred

- No clinical signs were observed

All animals gained weight in a normal range throughout the study period.

There were no macroscopic pathological findings in any animal sacrificed at the end of observation period (9 females).

The acute oral LD50 was calculated to be LD50, oral, rat > 2000 mg/kg bw.

Justification for classification or non-classification

The available experimental test data are reliable and suitable for classification purposes under Regulation 1272/2008. No mortality occurred at the limit dose of 2000 mg/kg bw. As a result, the substance is not considered to be classified for acute oral toxicity under Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008.
