Details on test animals or test system and environmental conditions:

TEST ANIMALS
- Age at study initiation: approximately 6 weeks
- Weight at study initiation (mean ± standard deviation): 186 ± 4 g (males); 139 ± 10 g (females)
- Fasting period before study: overnight (approximately 18 hours before dosing). Food was returned to cages 4 hours after dose administration.
- Housing: polycarbonate cages covered with a stainless steel lid. Each cage contained 4 - 7 animals of the same sex during acclimatisation period and 5 animals of the same sex during the treatment period.
- Diet: ad libitum
- Water: ad libitum
- Acclimation period: at least 5 days

ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS
- Temperature (°C): 21 ± 2 °C
- Humidity (%): 30 - 70 %
- Air changes (per hr): 12 air changes per hour
- Photoperiod (hrs dark / hrs light): 12 hours dark / 12 hours light

IN-LIFE DATES: From 27 May 1998 to 10 June 1998

Administration / exposure

Route of administration:

oral: gavage

Vehicle:

water

Remarks:

(purified)

Details on oral exposure:

The test material was prepared in the vehicle at a concentration of 2000 mg/kg bw. It was administered to the animals under a volume of 10 mL/kg. The administration was performed in a single dose by oral route using a metal gavage tube fitted to a 2 mL glass syringe. The volume administered to each animal was adjusted according to body weight determined on the day of treatment.

Doses:

2000 mg/kg bw

No. of animals per sex per dose:

5 males and 5 females

Control animals:

no

Details on study design:

- Duration of observation period following administration: 14 days
- Frequency of observations: animals were observed frequently during the hours following administration and then at least once daily thereafter
- Frequency of weighing: bodyweight measurements were taken on the day of administration (day 1) and on days 8 and 15
- Necropsy of survivors performed: yes, by CO2 asphyxiation
- Other examinations performed: macroscopic examination of the main organs (digestive tract, heart, kidneys, liver, lungs, pancreas, spleen and any other organs with obvious abnormalities) was performed. In case of macroscopic lesions, organ samples were taken and preserved in 10 % buffered formalin.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:

not classified

Remarks:

Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU

Conclusions:

Under the conditions of the study, none of the animals died and no clinical signs were recorded. The LD50 of the test material was therefore determined to be in excess of 2000 mg/kg bw. The study is considered to be reliable, relevant and adequate for risk assessment and classification and labelling purposes.

Executive summary:

The acute oral toxicity of the test material was determined in accordance with standardised guidelines EU Method B.1 and OECD 401. During the study rats received a sinlge oral dose of 2000 mg/kg under a volume of 10 mL/kg. The animals were checked for clinical signs, mortality and body weight gain for a period of 14 days following administration of the test material. A necropsy was performed on each animal at study termination. Under the conditions of the study, none of the animals died and no clinical signs were recorded. The LD50 of the test material was therefore determined to be in excess of 2000 mg/kg bw.
