Endpoint summary

Description of key information

An acute oral toxicity study with rats was performed according to OECD Guideline 423 (Acute Oral toxicity - Acute Toxic Class Method) and GLP guidelines. Three female rats were dosed with 2000 mg/kg bw of the test substance, followed by three additional female rats. No deaths occurred. No clinical signs were noted and no remarkable body weight changes occurred. Gross pathology did not reveal any abnormalities in the examined organs and tissues. Based on the results of this study, the estimated oral LD50 is greater than 2000 mg/kg.

An acute dermal toxicity test was conducted with five male and five female rats following OECD and EPA guidelines according to GLP principles. No mortality occurred and no clinical signs were noted. No unexpected changes in body weight gain were reported. Dermal findings noted during the study consisted of very slight (grade 1) to slight (grade 2) erythema and desquamation and were reverted from day 8 onwards. Based on these results, the test substance has an acute LD50 > 2000 mg/kg bw.

Executive summary:

An acute dermal toxicity test was conducted with five male and five female rats following OECD and EPA guidelines according to GLP principles. EXP1200078 was applied semi-occlusively at 2000 mg/kg bw for 24 hours. No mortality occurred and no clinical signs were noted. No unexpected changes in body weight gain were reported. Dermal findings noted during the study consisted of very slight (grade 1) to slight (grade 2) erythema and desquamation and were reverted from day 8 onwards.

Additional information

The inhalation study need not be conducted because exposure of humans via inhalation is not likely taking into account the vapor pressure of the substance and/or the possibility of exposure to aerosols, particles or droplets of an inhalable size.

Justification for classification or non-classification

The OECD 423 and 402 studies showed LD50 values >2000 mg/kg for the registration substance. In accordance with Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008 the registration substance does not require hazard classification for acute toxicity.
