- Water: ad libitum
- Acclimation period: Seven (G1F and G2F) and eight (G1M and G2M) days under laboratory conditions after veterinary examination.

ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS
- Temperature: 19 - 24 °C
- Humidity (%): 30 - 70
- Photoperiod (hrs dark / hrs light): 12 h light and 12 h darkness

Administration / exposure

Route of administration:
oral: gavage
Vehicle:
corn oil
Details on oral exposure:
VEHICLE
- Amount of vehicle (if gavage): 2000 mg/kg bw
- Justification for choice of vehicle: Since, the test item is a crystalline powder and is practically insoluble in water, corn oil (as preferred by the sponsor) was used as a vehicle.

MAXIMUM DOSE VOLUME APPLIED: 5 ml/kg bw

CLASS METHOD (if applicable)
- The test was started as per Annex 1c of the test guideline i.e. the starting dose was 2000 mg/kg body weight which is considered as the dose where the mortalities are most likely be produced.
Doses:
2000 mg/kg bw of both test item and control vehicle
No. of animals per sex per dose:
3 male + 3 females exposed to 2000 mg/kg bw of test item and control vehicle
Control animals:
yes
Details on study design:
- Duration of observation period following administration: 15 days
- Frequency of observations and weighing:
Pre-terminal deaths: four times on test day one and once daily during days 2-15.
Body weights: test days: 1 (pre-administration), 8 and 15 days post treatment.
Toxic signs: four times on the test day one and once daily during days 2 - 15
- Necropsy of survivors performed: yes

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
The acute oral LD50 of tetramethrin tech. grade in Wistar rats is more than 2000 mg/kg body weight

Executive summary:

Acute oral toxicity (Acute toxic class method) of tetramethrin tech. grade was tested in female and male Wistar rats. The test item was suspended in corn oil and administered as a single oral dose to overnight fasted (17 - 18 hours) Wistar rats (3 rats/sex/group) at the doses of '0' ('vehicle control group' G1 - females and males) and 2000 (G2 females and males) mg/kg body weight and the rats were observed for 15 days post treatment. There were no toxic signs and pre-terminal deaths in both the groups of both sexes. The acute oral minimal lethal dose of tetramethrin tech. grade in Wistar rats is more than 2000 mg/kg body weight as per the interpretation of results based on Annex 1c, Option 1 testing of OECD Guideline No. 423, adopted on 22.03.1996.
