Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
not classified
Remarks:
Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
Conclusions:
The oral LD50 for CHIMEXANE NB - Batch M 824 is higher than 2000 mg/kg bw in rats therefore it is not classified according to the Annex VI of the Directive 67/548/EEC and the CLP Regulation (EC) N° (1272-2008).
Executive summary:

In an acute oral toxicity (limit test) study performed in accordance with OECD guideline 401, groups (5/sex) of Sprague-Dawley OFA rats were given a single oral dose of CHIMEXANE NB - Batch M 824 in distilled water at 2000 mg/kg bw. Animals were then observed for mortality, clinical signs and bodyweights for 14 days and were all macroscopically necropsied after sacrifice.

 

No deaths were observed and animals appeared normal throughout the study period. All animals showed expected gain in bodyweight over the study period. No abnormalities were noted at necropsy. The combined oral LD50 was considered to be greater than 2000 mg/kg bw.

 

The oral LD50 for CHIMEXANE NB - Batch M 824 is higher than 2000 mg/kg bw in rats therefore it is not classified according to the Annex VI of the Directive 67/548/EEC and the CLP Regulation (EC) N° (1272-2008).
