Materials and methods

Principles of method if other than guideline:
Acute oral toxicity potential of the UVCB substance was determined by classifying based on Mixture rules from EU CLP (additivity formula of classified components to derive hazard class) and back calculation to the corresponding acute toxicity range estimate.
GLP compliance:
not specified
Remarks:
no GLP necessary for calculation method

Remarks:
Based on MeClas calculation

Any other information on results incl. tables

According to MeClas, the substance is classified as Acute toxicity Oral Category 4 - H302.

Based on this result, the related criteria provided the estimated value for acute toxicity-oral (Acute Toxicity Point Estimate) (see EU CLP Guidance Annex I Table 3.1.2): 500 mg/kg bodyweight.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
Good quality estimate of the Acute Toxicity Estimate (ATE) -oral of the UVCB substance.
The substance is classified as acute toxic resulting in an ATE of 500 mg/kg bodyweight.
Executive summary:

The study provided a conservative estimate of the effect concentration, derived on basis of the classification outcome (mixture toxicity rules) from a reasonable worst-case sample of the substance using mineralogical information from the representative sample. 

 

Validity of the model used:

1. Defined endpoint: the endpoint is a REACH compliant defined endpoint

2. Unambiguous algorithm: EU CLP guidance based summation formula to determine classification, followed by back-calculation to related hazard criteria

3. Applicability domain: applicable to classify complex metal containing materials. 

4. Mechanistic interpretation - metal species: the tool translates the elemental composition into a mineralogical composition relevant for classification.
