RATIONALE FOR THE SELECTION OF THE STARTING DOSE:
As described in the flow charts of Annex 2, OECD guideline 423, the starting dose level should be that which is most likely to produce mortality in
some of the dosed animals. Therefore, the limit dose 2000 mg/kg bw was chosen as starting dose.

Doses:

2000 mg/kg bw

No. of animals per sex per dose:

6

Control animals:

no

Details on study design:

ADMINISTRATION
- Application volume: 10 ml/kg bw
- Post dose observation period: 14 days

EXAMINATIONS
- Clinical observations were made several times on the day of dosing and at least once a day during the 14 day observation period. Body
weights were recorded immediately prior to dosing and on days 7 and 14. Gross pathological examination was carried out on all animals.

Statistics:

none (limit test)

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:

Toxicity Category V

Remarks:

Migrated information

Executive summary:

A single oral dose of 2000 mg/kg body weight was tolerated by female rats without mortalities, clinical signs, effects on weight gain and gross pathological findings. According to OECD guideline 423 the LD50 cut-off of 1,5-Naphthylene diisocyanate is >= 5000 mg/kg bw. (Category 5 / unclassified of the Globally Harmonized Classification System).
