Description of key information

oral LD50 > 2000 mg/kg bw

dermal LD50 > 2000 mg/kg bw

Acute inhalation toxicity: Testing for acute toxicity via the inhalation route was not applicable as data on acute oral and acute dermal toxicity were available. According to REACH Regulation No. 1907/2006, Annex VIII, 8.5 data for a maximum of two routes of exposure need to be provided.

The study was conducted according to OECD Guideline 401 (1987). During the 14 days observation period clinical signs of toxicity and body weight changes were recorded. No deaths occurred during the study. The following clinical signs were observed: reduced spontaneous activity, hunched posture, drawn in sides, piloerection, high gait and unregular breathing. In the females additionally reduced palpebral fissure and uncoordinated gait observed. All effects were reversible within two days. At necropsy, no macroscopical changes were found. Based on the available data, the LD50 value of the test item was determined to be > 2000 mg/kg bw.

Executive summary:

To assess the acute dermal toxicity of the test substance, a single (limit) dose of 2000 mg/kg bw was administered undiluted to the shaved and intact dorsal skin of 5 male and 5 female Wistar rats. The study was conducted according to OECD Guideline 402 (1987). After the 24 h exposure the occlusive wrap was removed and the test sites washed. During the 14 days observation period no clinical signs of toxicity and body weight changes were recorded. No deaths occurred during the study.

Justification for classification or non-classification

The available experimental test data is reliable and suitable for classification purposes under Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008. As a result the substance is not considered to be classified for acute oral toxicity under Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008, as amended for the tenth time in Regulation (EU) No 2017/776.
