Details on oral exposure:

VEHICLE
- Amount of vehicle: 0.5 % carboxymethylcellulose and 0.1 % polysorbate 80 in distilled water

MAXIMUM DOSE VOLUME APPLIED
- 10 mL / kg body weight for the lower and 20 mL/kg body weight for the higher dose (due to low solubility of test substance, further details see additional informations)

Doses:

oral single application of 2000 and 5000 mg/kg bw

No. of animals per sex per dose:

5

Control animals:

no

Details on study design:

- Duration of observation period following administration: 14 days
- Frequency of observations and weighing: Mortality, signs and symptoms daily. Body weight at start, on day 7, and on day 14
- Necropsy of survivors performed: yes; The animals were sacrificed for necropsy on day 18 instead day 14 because of legal holidays.

Statistics:

From the body weights, the group means and their standard deviations were calculated.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:

GHS criteria not met

Conclusions:

Under the conditions of the test, the acute oral LD50 of the test material to rats was found to be >5000 mg/kg bw.

Executive summary:

In this guideline (OECD 401) study conducted to GLP standards, the test material (EC 404-360-3) was determined to be practically nontoxic, with an acute oral LD50 > 5000 mg/kg bw. The test was conducted on male/female rats, administered by oral gavage with a vehicle of 0.5 % carboxymethylcellulose and 0.1 % polysorbate 80 in distilled water, at two different concentrations (2000 mg/kg bw and 5000 mg/kg bw). No mortality was observed, thus the test material is not classified as acutely toxic (oral) under CLP regulation 1272/2008.
