Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Conclusions:
In a vapour inhalation study, groups of 10 male and 10 female rats were exposed to a concentration of 0 or 18995 mg/m3 on 7 hours/day on 5 days/week over 4 weeks. The treatment gave no indications for adverse effects concerning clinical symptoms or behaviour, body weight gain, blood composition or clinical-chemical parameters. At necropsy, the microscopic examination of internal organs showed no adverse effects and also organ weights were unchanged.

Additional information

In a vapour inhalation study, groups of 10 male and 10 female rats were exposed to a concentration of 0 or 18995 mg/m3 on 7 hours/day on 5 days/week over 4 weeks. The treatment gave no indications for adverse effects concerning clinical symptoms or behaviour, body weight gain, blood composition or clinical-chemical parameters. At necropsy, the microscopic examination of internal organs showed no adverse effects and also organ weights were unchanged.

No testing of repeated oral toxicity is required since valid data on long-term (carcinogenicity) oral toxicity are available.

No testing of repeated dermal toxicity is required since valid data on long-term (carcinogenicity) oral toxicity are available.

Justification for classification or non-classification

Due to the effect levels obtained in the subacute inhalation toxicity studies, no classification according to EU and GHS criteria is required.
