All rats survived the observation period. Body weight development of the treated rats was inconspicuous. At necropsy no organ alterations were seen.

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
Based on the result of this study, it is concluded, that the test item has no acute toxic potential and that the LD50 value is higher than 2000 mg/kg bw following oral treatment in rats. According to the results of this study the test material can be allocated to ATC class 0 i.e. the LD50 value is expected to exceed 2000 mg/kg.
Executive summary:

The purpose of this assay was to provide information on possible health hazards for the test material and serve as a rational basis for risk assessment to the potential of acute oral toxicity of the test item in man.

The test material was tested for acute toxicity in rats after oral administration of 2000 mg/kg body weight. Directly before the administration the test material was prepared with aqueous Methocel K4M Premium solution as vehicle. This study was performed according to the ,,Acute toxic class method" (ATC; OECD TG 423). No signs of toxicity were detected in the 3 male and 3 female rats after treatment and no rat died. The gross pathological examination revealed no organ alterations. According to the results of this study the test material can be allocated to ATC class 0 i.e. the LD50 value is expected to exceed 2000 mg/kg.

Details on dermal exposure:
The backs and abdomens of the rats were shaved with an electric hair clipper not later than one hour before treatment.The test material was prepared, spread on the shaven skin in an area of 6 x 6 cm, and covered with a gauze patch. This was kept in place by a self-adhesive fabric (Fixomull® stretch, Beiersdorf). The time of exposure was 24 hours. Then the gauze and adhesive fabric were removed and any remaining test material was wiped off carefully.

Details on study design:
- Observation for clinical symptoms: On the day of treatment the general condition and motility of the rats were slightly affected by the tape. It was difficult to distinguish between slight clinical findings and reactions due to fixation by the tape. The behavior and general condition of all rats were monitored for at least 6 hours after administration and then checked daily.

- Body weight: All animals were weighed before treatment and on days 2, 4, 6, 8, 11, 13, and 15 of the experimental part.

- Pathology: All rats were sacrificed at the end of the experimental part by C02-asphyxia. They were subjected to a gross pathological investigation.

- Statistics and evaluation: The body weight data were recorded with a PC-program. The body weight development of each rat and group was determined. The group mean value was calculated for each measurement and printed on tables.

Justification for classification or non-classification

Classification, Labelling, and Packaging Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008
The available experimental test data are reliable and suitable for classification purposes under Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008. Based on available data on acute toxicity, the test item does not require classification for acute toxicity via the oral or dermal route according to Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008 (CLP), as amended for the twelfth time in Regulation (EU) 2019/521.
