Details on study design:
- Duration of observation period following administration: 14 days
- Test conditions and method according to Smyth et al. (1962):
Single oral dose toxicity was estimated by the gastric intubation of groups of five non-fasted, Carworth-Wistar male rats, or in rare instances of female rats, four to five weeks of age and 90 to 120 grams. The dosages were arranged in a logarithmic series differing by a factor of two. Whenever possible, the chemical was administered undiluted. When a lesser concentration was necessary, solution in water or corn oil or suspension in semi-solid agar were the preferred expedients. Occasionally, a 1 % solution of Tergitol penetrant 7 (essentially an aqueous solution of 25 % sodium 3,9-diethyl-6-tridecanol sulfate) has been used as a dispersing agent. Based upon mortalities during a 14-day observation period, the most probable LD50 value and its fiducial range were estimated by the method of Thompson (1947).

Statistics:
The most probable LD50 value and its fiducial range were estimated by the method of Thompson (1947).

Details on study design:
- Duration of observation period following administration: 14 days
- Test conditions and method according to Smyth et al. (1962):
Penetration of rabbit skin was estimated by a technique closely akin to  the one-day cuff method of Draize et al. (1944) using groups of four male albino New Zealand rabbits weighing 2.5 to 3.5 kg. The fur was removed from the entire trunk by clipping, and the dose was retained beneath an  impervious plastic film. Dosages greater than 20 mL/kg bw could not be retained in contact with the skin. The animals were immobilized during the 24-hour contact period, after which the film was removed and the rabbits were caged for the subsequent 14-day observation period. The LD50 was calculated by the method of Thompson (1947).

Statistics:
The LD50 was calculated by the method of Thompson (1947).

Additional information

The Carpenter's publication (1974) summarizes the results of the acute toxicity studies performed by oral and dermal routes on butane-1.3-diyl diacrylate.

Based on the results, the oral LD50 of 1,3-butylene glycol diacrylate is 3577 mg/kg (corresponding to 3.45 ml/kg bw) in rats, and the dermal LD50 of 1,3-butylene glycol diacrylate is 466 mg/kg bw (corresponding to 0.45 ml/kg bw) in rabbits.

Justification for classification or non-classification

Oral acute toxicity

Based on the available data (oral LD50 of 3577 mg/kg), absence of mandatory classification of Butane-1,3-diyl diacrylate for this endpoint and the composition of the registered substance (containing 65 -100 % of Butane-1,3-diyl diacrylate), no classification of the registered substance is required for oral acute toxicity.

Dermal acute toxicity

Butane-1,3-diyl diacrylate (CAS number 19485 -03 -1) has a mandatory classification according to the Regulation EC 1272/2008 (Annex VI, index number: 607-118-00-7): Acute tox. 4* by dermal route (H312).

The available data showed a dermal LD50 of 466 mg/kg, corresponding to the category 3 of CLP.

Based on the available data (dermal LD50 of 466 mg/kg), the mandatory classification of Butane-1,3-diyl diacrylate (Acute tox. 4* by dermal route) and the composition of the registered substance (containing 65 -100% of Butane-1,3-diyl diacrylate), the following classification is applied : Acute tox.3 for dermal route (H311).

Inhalation acute toxicity

Based on the absence of data and the absence of mandatory classification of Butane-1,3-diyl diacrylate for this endpoint, no classification of the registered substance is required for inhalation acute toxicity.
