Description of key information
Acute oral toxicity:
The acute oral toxicity dose (LD50) was considered based on different studies conducted on rats and mice for the test chemical. The LD50 value is >2000 mg/kg bw, for acute oral toxicity. Thus, comparing this value with the criteria of CLP regulation, the given test chemical cannot be classified for acute oral toxicity.
Acute Inhalation Toxicity:
The acute inhalation toxicity study need not be conducted because exposure to humans via inhalation route is not likely taking into account due to the low vapour pressure of the test chemical, which is reported to be 3.70E-42 mm Hg. Thus, exposure to inhalable dust, mist and vapour of the chemical is highly unlikely. Therefore this study is considered for waiver.
Acute Dermal toxicity:
The acute dermal toxicity dose (LD50) was considered based on different studies conducted on rats for the test chemical. The studies concluded that LD50 value is >2000 mg/kg bw, for acute dermal toxicity. Thus, comparing this value with the criteria of CLP regulation, the given test chemical cannot be classified for acute dermal toxicity.

- Executive summary:
In different studies, the given test chemical has been investigated for acute oral toxicity to a greater or lesser extent. Often are the studies based on in-vivo experiments in rodents,
i.e. most commonly in rats and mice for test chemical. The studies are summarized as below –
Acute oral toxicity study was done in group of 5 male and female Carworth Farm Strain E SPF rats using test material. No mortality was observed at dose 5000 mg/kg bw. In clinical signs examination, substantial amounts of coloured material were excreted in the faeces. Hence, LD50 value was considered to be >5000 mg/kg bw, when rats were treated with test chemical orally.
The above study is supported with another study mentioned in publication and conducted on mice for the test chemical. The acute oral toxicity study was conducted in 4 - 5 male DDY mice by using test chemical at the concentration of 2000 mg/kg bw according to comet assay. The given test chemical was dissolve in physiological saline and administered as 0.5ml x LD50 or 2000 mg/kg bw in mice. No mortality was observed at 2000 mg/kg bw in treated mice. Therefore, LD50 was considered to be >2000 mg/kg bw, when male DDY mice were treated with test chemical via oral route.
Both the above studies are further supported with the study mentioned in secondary source for the test chemical. Acute oral toxicity study was done in rats using the given test chemical. 50% mortality was observed at dose 5000 mg/kg bw. Hence, the LD50 value was considered to be 5000 mg/kg body weight, when rats were treated with the given test chemical orally.
Thus, based on the above summarised studies on test chemical, it can be concluded that LD50 value is >2000 mg/kg bw. Thus, comparing this value with the criteria of CLP regulation, the given test chemical cannot be classified for acute oral toxicity.

- Executive summary:
In different studies, the given test chemical has been investigated for acute dermal toxicity to a greater or lesser extent. Often are the studies based on in-vivo experiments in rodents, i.e. most commonly in rats for test chemical. The studies are summarized as below -
The reported study was designed and conducted to determine the acute dermal toxicity profile of the given test chemical in Sprague Dawley rats. The test item was applied to shorn skin of 5 male and 5 female animals at 2000 mg/kg body weight. Administration of the test item at 2000 mg/kg did not result in any skin reaction at the site of application during the study period of 14 days. Administration of the test item did not result in any signs of toxicity and mortality during the study period of 14 days. Animals exhibited normal body weight gain through the study period of 14 days. Gross pathological examination did not reveal any abnormalities attributable to the treatment. It was concluded that the acute dermal median lethal dose (LD50) of the given test chemical, when administered to male and female Sprague Dawley rats was considered to be >2000 mg/kg body weight. Thus, according to CLP criteria for acute toxicity rating for the chemicals, it infers that test chemical does not classify as an acute dermal toxicant. CLP Classification: “Not classified”.
The above study is supported with another study conducted on rats for the test chemical. The study was designed and conducted to determine the acute dermal toxicity profile of the given test chemical in Sprague Dawley rats. The test item was applied to shorn skin of 5 male and 5 female animals at 2000 mg/kg body weight.

Animals exhibited normal body weight gain through the study period of 14 days. Gross pathological examination did not reveal any abnormalities attributable to the treatment. It was concluded that the acute dermal median lethal dose (LD50) of the given test chemical, when administered to male and female Sprague Dawley rats was considered to be >2000 mg/kg body weight. Thus by considering the CLP criteria for acute toxicity rating for the chemicals, it infers that the given test chemical does not exhibit acute toxicity by the dermal route.
Both the above studies are further supported with the study mentioned in authoritative database. The acute dermal toxicity study of the given test chemical was conducted in rats at the concentration of 3000 mg/kg bw. No mortality was observed in treated rats at 3000 mg/kg bw. Therefore, LD50 was considered to be >3000 mg/kg bw, when rats were treated with test chemical by dermal application.
Thus, based on the above summarised studies on test chemical, it can be concluded that LD50 value is >2000 mg/kg bw. Thus, comparing this value with the criteria of CLP regulation, the given test chemical cannot be classified for acute dermal toxicity.

Additional information
Acute oral toxicity:
In different studies, the given test chemical has been investigated for acute oral toxicity to a greater or lesser extent. Often are the studies based on in-vivo experiments in rodents, i.e. most commonly in rats and mice for test chemical. The studies are summarized as below –
Acute oral toxicity study was done in group of 5 male and female Carworth Farm Strain E SPF rats using test material. No mortality was observed at dose 5000 mg/kg bw. In clinical signs examination, substantial amounts of coloured material were excreted in the faeces. Hence, LD50 value was considered to be >5000 mg/kg bw, when rats were treated with test chemical orally.
The above study is supported with another study mentioned in publication and conducted on mice for the test chemical. The acute oral toxicity study was conducted in 4 - 5 male DDY mice by using test chemical at the concentration of 2000 mg/kg bw according to comet assay. The given test chemical was dissolve in physiological saline and administered as 0.5ml x LD50 or 2000 mg/kg bw in mice. No mortality was observed at 2000 mg/kg bw in treated mice. Therefore, LD50 was considered to be >2000 mg/kg bw, when male DDY mice were treated with test chemical via oral route.
Both the above studies are further supported with the study mentioned in secondary source for the test chemical. Acute oral toxicity study was done in rats using the given test chemical. 50% mortality was observed at dose 5000 mg/kg bw. Hence, the LD50 value was considered to be 5000 mg/kg body weight, when rats were treated with the given test chemical orally.
Thus, based on the above summarised studies on test chemical, it can be concluded that LD50 value is >2000 mg/kg bw. Thus, comparing this value with the criteria of CLP regulation, the given test chemical cannot be classified for acute oral toxicity.
Acute Inhalation Toxicity:
The acute inhalation toxicity study need not be conducted because exposure to humans via inhalation route is not likely taking into account due to the low vapour pressure of the test chemical, which is reported to be 3.70E-42 mm Hg. Thus, exposure to inhalable dust, mist and vapour of the chemical is highly unlikely. Therefore this study is considered for waiver.

Administration of the test item did not result in any signs of toxicity and mortality during the study period of 14 days. Animals exhibited normal body weight gain through the study period of 14 days. Gross pathological examination did not reveal any abnormalities attributable to the treatment. It was concluded that the acute dermal median lethal dose (LD50) of the given test chemical, when administered to male and female Sprague Dawley rats was considered to be >2000 mg/kg body weight. Thus by considering the CLP criteria for acute toxicity rating for the chemicals, it infers that the given test chemical does not exhibit acute toxicity by the dermal route.
Both the above studies are further supported with the study mentioned in authoritative database. The acute dermal toxicity study of the given test chemical was conducted in rats at the concentration of 3000 mg/kg bw. No mortality was observed in treated rats at 3000 mg/kg bw. Therefore, LD50 was considered to be >3000 mg/kg bw, when rats were treated with test chemical by dermal application.
Thus, based on the above summarised studies on test chemical, it can be concluded that LD50 value is >2000 mg/kg bw. Thus, comparing this value with the criteria of CLP regulation, the given test chemical cannot be classified for acute dermal toxicity.
Justification for classification or non-classification
Based on the above studies on test chemical, it can be concluded that LD50 value is >2000 mg/kg bw, for acute oral and acute dermal toxicity. Thus, comparing this value with the criteria of CLP regulation, the given test chemical cannot be classified for acute oral and acute dermal toxicity. For acute inhalation toxicity wavier was added so, not possible to classify.
