IN-LIFE DATES: From: 17 January 2017 To: 07 February 2017

Administration / exposure

Route of administration:
oral: gavage
Vehicle:
water
Remarks:
distilled
Details on oral exposure:
VEHICLE
- Concentration in vehicle: 200 mg/mL
- Amount of vehicle (if gavage): 1 mL/100 g bw
- Justification for choice of vehicle: suspension was formed in the vehicle

CLASS METHOD (if applicable)
- Rationale for the selection of the starting dose: Information about toxicity provided by the Sponsor indicated that the test material was likely non-toxic at this dose level.
Doses:
2000 mg/kg bw
No. of animals per sex per dose:
6
Control animals:
no
Details on study design:
- Duration of observation period following administration: 14 days
- Frequency of observations and weighing: Animals were observed individually after dosing at least once during the first 30 minutes, periodically during the first 24 hours, with special attention given during the first 4 hours and daily thereafter for a total of 14 days. Individual weights of animals were determined shortly before the test substance was administered, and weekly thereafter.
- Necropsy of survivors performed: yes
Statistics:
BW changes and LD50 values were calculated.

Results and discussion

Effect levels
Key result
Sex:
female
Dose descriptor:
LD50
Effect level:
> 2 000 mg/kg bw
Based on:
test mat.
Remarks on result:
other: According to this study, an LD50 cut-off of 5000 mg/kg was used.
Mortality:
No mortality occurred during the study period.
Clinical signs:
No clinical signs of toxicity were observed at dosing or up to the end of the 14-day observation period.
Body weight:
No animals showed any adverse effect on body weight gain.
Gross pathology:
Necropsy examination revealed no substance-related or abnormal findings.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
other: CLP/EU GHS criteria are not met, no classification required according to Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008.
Conclusions:
The LD50 of dizinc pyrophosphate is >2000 mg/kg bw by the oral route of exposure in female Wistar rats, and therefore the material is not classified.
