Endpoint summary

Description of key information

There are no human data on acute toxicity for the registration substance. In animals, test results with the registration substance are available for the oral route of exposure indicating a median lethal dosis (LD50) between 500 mg/kg body weight (0% mortality) and 2000 mg/kg body weight (100% mortality). Based hereupon, the registration substance is considered to be harmful if swallowed. For animal welfare reasons, no experimental studies have been conducted using the inhalation and/or dermal route of exposure. Studies concerning these endpoints have been waived according to REACH Regulation (EC) 1907/2006, Annex VIII, point 8.5, column 2 ("acute toxicity studies does not generally need to be conducted if the substance is classified as corrosive to skin").

Clinical symptoms:- 2000 mg/kg group: flanks drawn-in, decreased spontantenous activity, respiratory sounds, indications of cyanosis, clonic convulsions- 500 mg/kg group: flanks drawn-in, decreased spontaneous activity, squatting posture, salivation (from day 2 p.a. free of symptoms)

Gross pathology:

The macroscopic examination of deceased male and female animals revealed the following features: - Small intestine filled with clear liquid - Small intestinal mucosa reddened - Pancreas reddened - Adrenal dark discolored - Liver dark discolored - Foam in the lung The animals killed at the end of follow-up period were free of macroscopically visible alterations.

Executive summary:

The acute oral toxicity of the test item was investigated in groups of 5 male and 5 female Wistar rats each at dose levels of 500 and 2000 mg/kg body weight according to OECD TG 401. The animals rceived the compound in water as vehicle via gavage. The observation period following treatment in the 500 mg/kg group was up to 21 days. Most animals treated at 2000 mg/kg died within 10 minutes after application. One female and one male died 2 and 3 hours p.a. respectively. No mortality occurred in the 500 mg/kg group.Clinical symptoms included hypoactivity, squatting posture and salivation. In the 2000 mg/kg group additionally indications of cyanosis and clonic convulsions were observed shortly before the animals died. Macroscopically a discolouration of the liver, reddenings of the pancreas and the intestinal mucosa, as well as foam in the lungs. Based on the study results, the median lethal dose (LD50) was between 500 and 2000 mg/kg body weight.

Additional information

The acute oral toxicity of the test item was investigated in groups of 5 male and 5 female Wistar rats each at dose levels of 500 and 2000 mg/kg body weight according to OECD TG 401. The animals received the compound in water as vehicle via gavage. The observation period following treatment in the 500 mg/kg group was up to 21 days. Most animals treated at 2000 mg/kg died within 10 minutes after application. One female and one male died 2 and 3 hours p.a. respectively. No mortality occurred in the 500 mg/kg group.Clinical symptoms included hypoactivity, squatting posture and salivation. In the 2000 mg/kg group additionally indications of cyanosis and clonic convulsions were observed shortly before the animals died. Macroscopically a discolouration of the liver, reddenings of the pancreas and the intestinal mucosa, as well as foam in the lungs was observed. Based on the study results, the median lethal dose (LD50) was between 500 and 2000 mg/kg body weight.

No data concerning acute dermal and/or inhalation toxicity is available for the registration substance. Testing for acute systemic toxicity following dermal and/or inhalation route is waived for animal welfare reasons

Justification for selection of acute toxicity – oral endpoint
Guideline study according to GLP. No derivations and/or confounders. Klimisch rating 1 representing reliability without restrictions. Information is valid and meet data requirements.

Justification for selection of acute toxicity – inhalation endpoint
Waiving for animal welfare reasons. The registration substance is corrosive to skin and thus testing for acute inhalation toxicity is therefore generally not needed according to REACH regulation (EC) 1907/2006 (Annex VIII, point 8.5, column 2).

Justification for selection of acute toxicity – dermal endpoint
Waiving for animal welfare reasons. The registration substance is corrosive to skin and thus testing for acute dermal toxicity is therefore generally not needed according to REACH regulation (EC) 1907/2006 (Annex VIII, point 8.5, column 2).

Justification for classification or non-classification

Based on the median lethal dose (LD50 between 500 and 2000 mg/kg body weight), the registration substance has to be classified as acute toxic (category 4) with the hazard statement H302 - harmful if swallowed regarding acute oral toxicity.

For acute dermal and/or inhalation toxicity, no data are available. However, due to the corrosive nature of the test item appropriate labelling and classification as to the hazard potential also for these endpoints is guaranteed.
