Description of key information

ORAL

The acute oral LD50 in rats of both sexes observed over a period of 14 days is 2177 with 95 % CL of (1480-3227) mg/kg.

Pelikan (1970) k4 (% composition of substance in test material: not reported), K4

LD50 (mice) = 1500 mg/kg bw (95% CL 1100 - 2000 mg/kg bw).

Mesch (1992) k4 (% composition of substance in test material: not reported), K4

LD50 = 3400 mg/kg bw.

ORAL

Prinsen (2012) (% composition of substance in test material: 99.3%), K1

A sample of Octyltintris(2-ethylhexylmercaptoacetate) MOTE was examined for acute oral toxicity in an experiment with female rats (limit testing), according to EC Directive96/54/EEC, method 8.1 trisand OECD Guideline no.423. Dose levels of 2000, 300 and 50mg per kg bodyweight were examined and animals were observed for a maximum of 14 days after dosing.

No mortality or clinical signs were observed after treatment with a 50 and 300 mg/kg/ bwt. dose-levels.

The 2000 mg/kg bwt dose-level caused mortality in one out of the 6 animals dosed. Clinical signs observed consisted of Hunching, ataxia, blepharospasm, protrusion of eyes, piloerection and an abdominal lump.

Macroscopic examination of the surviving animals at the end of the observation period did not reveal any treatment related gross changes.

Since five out of six animals survived the 2000 mg/kg dose-level, the oral LD50 of octyltin tris (2-ethylexylmercaptoacetate) MOTE is considered to be between 2000 and 5000 mg/kg/day.

Bathe (1980) (% composition of substance in test material: 70%), K2

An acute oral toxicity study was performed on male and female 7 - 8 week old Tif: RAIf (SPF) rats. The doses applied were 400, 1000, 2000, 5000, and 7000 mg/kg bw using polyethylene glycol as a vehicle.

The acute oral LD50 in rats of both sexes observed over a period of 14 days is 2177 with 95 % CL of (1480-3227) mg/kg.

INHALATION

No data has been provided for the inhalation route as the oral and dermal routes have been identified as more appropriate for exposure, in accordance with EC Regulation 1907/2006, Annex VIII, Column 2, point 8.5.

DERMAL

Prinsen (2010) (% composition of substance in test material: 97.9%), K1

Octyltin tris(2-ethylhexylmercaptoacetate) (MOTE) was examined for acute dermal toxicity in an experiment with 8 week old male and female Wistar rats (limit testing), according EEC Directive 96/54/EEC, method B.3 and OECD Guideline no. 402. A dose level of 2000 mg per kg body weight was examined and the dermal contact period was 24 hours.

Since all animals survived the 2000 mg/kg dose level, the dermal LD50 of Octyltin tris(2-ethylhexylmercaptoacetate) is considered to be higher than 2000 mg/kg body weight.

Justification for classification or non-classification

In accordance with the criteria for classification as defined in Annex I, Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008, the substance does not require classification with respect to acute toxicity.
