Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
The LD50 of TDI-Urone was established to be > 2000 mg/kg body weight. As none of the animals died the corresponding LD0 is > 2000 mg/kg bw. Thus, TDI-Urone is practically nontoxic.
Executive summary:

In an acute oral toxicity study according to OECD 423, groups of 3 male and 3 female rats (Wistar) were given a single oral dose of 2000 mg/kg body weight TDI-Urone in 1% Carboxymethylcellulose and were observed for 14 days.

Considering the reported data of this toxicity test it can be stated that the test item TDI-Urone has no acute toxic characteristics.

According to the results obtained the LD50 was determined to be > 2000 mg/kg bw.

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
TDI-Urone is considered to be practically nontoxic when dermally applied in a single dose. The LD50 was determined to be > 2000 mg/kg bw. As none of the animals died the LD0 is > 2000 mg/kg bw.
Executive summary:

In an acute dermal toxicity study groups of 8-12 week old Wistar rats (5 males and 5 females) were dermally exposed to TDI-Urone (97.5%) moistened with water for 24 hours to 10% of the body surface area at a dose of 2000 mg/kg bw. Animals then were observed for 14 days.

The dermal LD50 (combined) was determined to be > 2000 mg/kg bw. As none of the animals died the LD0 is > 2000 mg/kg bw.

Therefore, TDI-Urone is considered as practically non-toxic when applied dermally in a single dose of 2000 mg/kg bw.

Endpoint conclusion
Endpoint conclusion:
no adverse effect observed

Additional information

In an acute oral toxicity study according to OECD 423, a limit dose of 2000 mg/kg bw TDI-Urone in 1% Carboxymethylcellulose did not show any signs of toxicity in female and male rats. A LD0 of 2000 mg/kg bw was established.

In an acute dermal toxicity study according to OECD 402 a limit dose of 2000 mg/kg bw TDI-Urone did not show any toxic effects in 5 female and 5 male Wistar rats. The dermal LD50 (combined) was determined to be > 2000 mg/kg bw. As none of the animals died the LD0 is 2000 mg/kg bw.

Therefore, TDI-Urone is considered practically non-toxic.

Justification for classification or non-classification

According to Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008 LD50-doses of more than 2000 mg/kg are not considered to indicate oral and dermal acute toxicity.
