The study in COX-SD rats is reported here.
In this study 5 male and 5 female fasted COX-CD rats were dosed by oral gavage with Alfol 14 in dose levels of 7.26, 12.62, 15.89 and 20 g/kg bw based on a range finding test. The animals were observed for clinical signs of toxicity and death several times on the day of dosing and daily thereafter. All decedents and survivors were necropsied. Survivors were weighed at the end of the observation period. Two animals which succumbed had moderate to severe congestion of the kidneys, adrenals, liver, lungs, stomach and gastrointestinal tract, hemorrhages (1 rat), and erosion of the mucosa of the stomach. The remaining decedent was in an advanced state of autolysis and no conclusions could be drawn. Of the animals that were sacrificed, gross necropsy findings were unremarkable. Animals at all dose levels showed signs of intoxication following dosing these persisting from 1 to 10 days. Erosion of the gastric mucosa was observed in two decedents but not in survivors.
The rat oral LD50 for Alfol 14 is > 20g/kg.

The study in Carworth-Wistar rats is reported here.
In this study 5 male non- fasted Carworth-Wista rats were dosed by oral gavage with 1-Tetradecanol.
Animals at all dose levels showed signs of intoxication following dosing these persisting from 1 to 10 days. Erosion of the gastric mucosa was observed in two decedents but not in survivors. Of the animals that were sacrificed, gross necropsy findings were unremarkable
The rat oral LD50 for the mixed isomers of tetradecanol was > 32.5 mL/kg bw with confidence limits of 29.1 - 36.5 mL/kg bw. Assuming a density of the order of 0.83 (from physical data) this gives an LD50 of 26980 mg/kg bw.

The IUCLID dataset of 1-Eicosanol (CAS 629-96-9; Tradename Nacol 20) in the OECD SIDS Initial Assessment Profile Long Chain Alcohols describes 1 Klimisch 1 study according to OECD TG 401 in Sprague-Dawley rats.
In this study 10 male and 10 female fasted Sprange-Dawley rats were dosed by oral gavage with Tradename Nacol 20 in 0,8%hydroxypropyl-methylcellulose gel in two doses levels of 8250 mg/kg and 10000 mg/kg.
Mortality, food and water consumption and weight gain were monitored during the observation period from 14 days. All animals were subject to gross pathological examination.
There were no deaths. No clinical signs of systemic toxicity were noted. Pathological examination was unremarkable.
The rat oral LD50 for Nacol 20 is >10000 mg/kg.

The IUCLID dataset of C12-Alkylsulfate (CAS 151-21-3) in the OECD SIDS Initial Assessment Profile on Sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) describes the following Klimisch 2 study according to OECD Guideline 401 in rats.
The acute oral toxicity of Sodium dodecyl sulfate (CAS 151-21-3) was evaluated in male and female Wistar rats with single dosing via gavage (doses not further specified). Observation of clinical signs and mortality and necropsy of died animals and of survivors was performed.
Deaths were observed within 4-48 hrs post administration but no further information was given.
The clinical signs observed were: diarrhoea, reduced activity, laboured breathing, coma.
At necropsy haemorrhages in gastro-intestinal tract and vascular congestion in the liver were observed in the died animals and no adverse effects were noted in the survivors.
The rat oral LD50 for males and females = 1200 mg/kg bw.
The rat oral LD50 is 1427 mg/kg bw for males and 977 mg/kg bw for females.

- Interpretation of results:
- GHS criteria not met
- Conclusions:
- The acute toxicity (LD50) of sodium sulfate has not been reliably established but is probably far in excess of 5000 mg/kg.
- Executive summary:
The acute toxicity (LD50) of sodium sulfate has not been reliably established but is probably far in excess of 5000 mg/kg.
Also human data indicate a very low acute toxicity of sodium sulfate. Human clinical experience indicates that very high oral doses of sodium sulfate, 300 mg/kg bw up to 20 grams for an adult, are well tolerated, except from (intentionally) causing severe diarrhoea. WHO/FAO did not set an ADI for sodium sulfate.

- When combing the results from both studies for 0 and 1200 mg/L significant decreases in stool consistency and appearance time were noted at 1200 mg/L.
- Executive summary:
The IUCLID data set of Na2SO4 (CAS 7757 -82 -6) in the OECD SIDS INITIAL ASSESSMENT PROFILE of Sodium sulfate describes the following Klimisch 2 study.
Acute oral toxicity was tested in a drinking water study in 10 normal human subjects, 80% Caucasian with age between 24 -45 years.
In a range-finding study, four healthy volunteers received controlled amounts of drinking water with stepwise increasing concentrations of sulfate, up to 1200 mg/L of sulfate (0, 400, 600, 800, 1000 and 1200 mg/L), over six consecutive two-day periods. The calculated dose of sodium sulfate was 0, 21, 31.5, 42, 52,5 and 63 mg/kg/day.
Apart from a faster stool passage, no abnormalities were found.
In a subsequent two-day study, 6 volunteers received of 0 mg on the first and 63 mg sodium sulfate (1200 mg/L) on the second day. A clinically insignificant increase in stool volume, decrease in stool consistency and passage time was noted, but no change in stool frequency or diarrhea.
When combing the results from both studies for 0 and 1200mg/L significant decreases in stool consistency and appearance time were noted at 1200 mg/L.

Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Interpretation of results:
- GHS criteria not met
- Conclusions:
- When the LD50 of the target substance was calculated by concentration addition based on the general equation as presented in the CLP regulation on mixtures (2008), based on individual LD50 values, this resulted in an oral LD50 of 4654 mg/kg bw in rats. It can therefore be concluded that the oral LD50 of the registered substance is >2000 mg/kg bw. No classification is warranted.
