SIGHTING STUDY / MAIN STUDY
Using available information on the toxicity of the test material, 2000 mg/kg was chosen as the starting dose. A single animal was treated as follows: dose level: 2000 mg/kg; specific gravity: 0.892; dose volume: 2.25 mL/kg. In the absence of mortality at a dose level of 2000 mg/kg, an additional group of four animals was treated as follows: dose level: 2000 mg/kg; specific gravity: 0.892; dose volume: 2.25 mL/kg. A total of five animals were therefore treated at a dose level of 2000 mg/kg in the study.
The volume administered to each animal was calculated according to its fasted bodyweight at the time of dosing.

MAXIMUM DOSE VOLUME APPLIED: 2.25 mL/kg

DOSAGE PREPARATION: the test material was used as supplied. The specific gravity was determined and used to calculate the appropriate dose volume for the required dose level.
Doses:
2000 mg/kg bw. (sighting study / main study)
No. of animals per sex per dose:
5 female rats
Control animals:
no
Details on study design:
- Duration of observation period following administration: 14 days
- Frequency of observations and weighing: clinical observations were made 0.5, 1, 2 and 4 hours after dosing and subsequently once daily for fourteen days. Morbidity and mortality checks were made twice daily. Individual bodyweights were recorded on Day 0 (the day of dosing) and on Days 7 and 14.
- Necropsy of survivors performed: yes
Statistics:
not applicable

Results and discussion

Preliminary study:
2000 mg/kg bw:
- no deaths were recorded.
- animal had diarrhoea during the day of dosing. No other signs of systemic toxicity were noted during the study.
- animal gained the expected gains in body weight over the observation period.
- no abnormalities were noted at necropsy

> 2 000 mg/kg bw
Based on:

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
The acute oral median lethal dose (LD50) of the test material in the female Sprague-Dawley CD strain rat was estimated to be greater than 2000 mg/kg bw.
According to the EC-Regulation 1272/2008 and subsequent regulations, the test item is not classified as acute toxic via the oral route, as well.
