Description of key information

Female rats (n=5) received a single oral dose of 2000 mg/kg bw of the test substance. No effects on clinical signs, body weight and macroscopic examinations were found. No mortality was observed. The LD50 is > 2000 mg/kg bw (Harlan 2012g).
Groups of 5 rats/sex received a dermal application of 2000 mg/kg test substance during 24 hours under semi-occlusion. No effects other than slight irritation were found during the 14 day observation period. The dermal LD50 of the test substance is > 2000 mg/kg bw (Harlan 2013d)

Additional information

Acute toxicity via two routes of exposure was tested. An acute inhalation study is waived based on the low vapour pressure (2.3E-03 Pa at 25 °C) and the extreme viscosity of the test substance. Exposure via the inhalation route is expected to negligible.


Justification for selection of acute toxicity – oral endpoint
Study with the test substance according to the guideline and under GLP

Justification for selection of acute toxicity – dermal endpoint
Study with the test substance according to the guideline and under GLP.

Justification for classification or non-classification

No classification for acute toxicity is considered necessary.
