Executive summary:

In a limit acute oral toxicity study performed similarly to the OECD test guideline No. 401 and in compliance with GLP applied to industrial chemicals in Japan (1984), groups offasted, 6-weeks old, Sprague Dawley rats (5/sex) were administered a single oral dose of #620 (99 % pure) in 0.5% Tween 80 in 0.5% CMC-Na (1.0 mL/100 g) of 2000 mg/kg bw by gavage. The animals were observed for mortality, clinical signs and body weight for 14 days and then necropsied for macroscopic observations.

 

No mortality occurred during the study. No abnormal clinical signs were found. No abnormality was revealed at autopsy.

 

Oral LD₅₀ Combined > 2000 mg/kg bw

 

Under the test conditions, #620 is not classified according to the criteria of the annex VI of the Regulation EC No. 1272/2008 (CLP) and of the Directive 67/548/EEC.
