Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:

not classified

Remarks:

Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU

Conclusions:

The LD50 for the test material is greater than 5.0 gm/Kg in both male and female rats. These findings do not warrant classification of the test material as an acute oral toxicant under the new Regulation (EC) 1272/2008 on classification, labeling, and packaging of substances and mixtures (CLP) or under the Directive 67/518/EEC for dangerous substances and Directive 1999/45/EC for preparations.

Executive summary:

The test material was administered by oral gavage to 5 male and 5 female Sprague Dawley rats at the dose of 5.0 mg/kg to assess the acute oral LD50. Clinical observations were made at 1/2, 1, and 4 hours after test substance administration and daily thereafter with the exception of weekends. There was an increase in mean and individual body weights during the study in relation to the prefast body weights. There were no deaths following administration of the test substance. At the end of the study, the LD50 was determined to be greater than 5.0 mg/kg. These findings do not warrant classification of the test material as an acute oral toxicant under the new Regulation (EC) 1272/2008 on classification, labeling, and packaging of substances and mixtures (CLP) or under the Directive 67/518/EEC for dangerous substances and Directive 1999/45/EC for preparations.
