Description of key information

Male and female Wistar rats were subjected to test acute oral toxicity. The test substance was administered by gavage at the limit dose of 2000 mg/kg bw. No animal died during the 14 day observation period, resulting in a LD50 > 2000 mg/kg bw. Classification for acute oral toxicity is not necessary according to Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008.

Male and female Tif. RAI rats were subjected to test acute oral toxicity. The test substance was administered by gavage at dose levels up to the highest applicable dose of 10000 mg/kg bw. No animal died under these conditions, thus leading to a LD50 > 10000 mg/kg bw. No substance related gross organ changes were seen at necropsy.

Acute inhalation toxicity of the test item has been investigated in male and female Tif: RAIf (SPF) rats (10 per sex). They were exposed to 4250 mg test substance per cubic meter for 4 h (maximal applicable dose). All animals survived the 14 day observation period. No macroscopic visible changes were observed at necropsy at the end of the observation period, resulting in a LC50 value of > 4250 mg/m³ (4.25 mg/L) for the inhalation of aerosol.

Acute dermal toxicity of the test item was tested in male and female Sprague-Dawley rats. The maximal applicable dose (3 g test item /kg bw suspended in polyethylene glycol:water 50:50 - final volume 9.9 ml; corresponding to 1710 mg/kg bw) were applied to the skin. No clinical signs were observed and no animals died during the 7 day observation period, resulting in a LD50 > 3000 mg/kg bw (corresponding to > 1710 mg/kg bw).

GENERATION OF TEST ATMOSPHERE / CHAMBER DESCRIPTION
- Exposure apparatus: inhalation cylinder
- Method of holding animals in test chamber: seperate PVC tubes
