Additional information

ORAL ROUTE

10 male Wistar rats received single oral dose of 5000 mg/kg bw dissolved in 1% Traganth and were observed for clinical signs of intoxication, body weight development, mortality over a period of 14 days. At the end of the observation time all animals undergo gross pathological examination. No animal died, no clinical signs were observed, all animals gained weight and no gross pathological findings were detected at the terminal sacrifice. thus The LD50 is > 5000 mg/kg bw.

INHALATION ROUTE

A study on acute inhalation toxicity of Macrolex Rot EG on rats has been conducted in accordance with OECD TG 403. A group of male and female rats was nose-only exposed to the dry powder aerosol of the test article at an actual concentration of 2868 mg/m³.. No animal died, no clinical findings and no pathotlogical changes were noted. Therefore, the results can be summarized as follows:

LC50 (rat) > 2868 mg/m³, the maximum technically attainable concentration.

DERMAL ROUTE

There is no data on acute toxicity available using the dermal exposure route. According to Regulation (EC) No. 1907/2006 (REACH) ANNEX VIII column 2 in addition to the acute toxicity using the oral route for substances other than gases at least the acute toxicity data for one other route should be provided. This recommendation is fulfilled because there is an acute inhalation toxicity study according to the respective guideline and GLP evaluated with Klimisch score 1. Thus, there is no need to conduct an acute toxicity study using the dermal route.

Justification for selection of acute toxicity – oral endpoint
only avaialble rat study according to the respective guideline and GLP and evaluated with Klimisch score 2

Justification for selection of acute toxicity – inhalation endpoint
only available study: performed according to the actuell guideline and GLP and evaluated with Klimisch score 1

Justification for selection of acute toxicity – dermal endpoint
There is no data on acute toxicity available using the dermal exposure route. According to Regulation (EC) No. 1907/2006 (REACH) ANNEX VIII column 2 in addition to the acute toxicity using the oral route for substances other than gases at least the acute toxicity data for one other route should be provided. This recommendation is fulfilled because there is an acute inhalation toxicity study according to the respective guideline and GLP evaluated with Klimisch score 1. Thus, there is no need to conduct an acute toxicity study using the dermal route.
