Executive summary:

In a GLP compliant, guideline acute oral toxicity test the oral LD50 values of the test substance in rats of the sexes combined, males alone and females alone were established as exceeding 2000 mg/kg body weight. Based on these results and according to the EEC criteria for classification and labelling requirements for dangerous substances and preparations (EEC Directive 91/325/EEC, Amendment to Annex VI of the EEC Directive 67/548/EEC), the the substance cannot be classified and has no obligatory labelling requirement.

Additional information

Acute toxicity studies to OECD protocols and to acceptable quality standards show no toxicity to rats via the oral and dermal routes when tested to limit test values of 2000mg/kg bw. 

Justification for selection of acute toxicity – oral endpoint
Only one study available

Justification for selection of acute toxicity – dermal endpoint

Justification for classification or non-classification

Acute oral toxicity:

In a GLP compliant, guideline acute oral toxicity test the oral LD50 values of the test substance in rats of the sexes combined, males alone and females alone were established as exceeding 2000 mg/kg body weight. Based on these results and according to the EEC criteria for classification and labelling requirements for dangerous substances and preparations (EEC Directive 91/325/EEC, Amendment to Annex VI of the EEC Directive 67/548/EEC), the the substance cannot be classified and has no obligatory labelling requirement.

Acute dermal toxicity:

In a GLP compliant, guideline acute dermal toxicity test the dermal LD50 values of the test substance in rats of either sex was established as exceeding 2000 mg/kg body weight. Based on these results and according to the EEC criteria for classification and labelling requirements for dangerous substances and preparations (EEC Directive 91/325/EEC, Amendment to Annex VI of the EEC Directive 67/548/EEC), the test substance cannot be classified and has no obligatory labelling requirement.
