Study Title: Acute Oral Toxicity Study in the Rat - Acute Toxic Class Method
Test Material: Ethyl Methylbutyrate-2
1. A study was performed to assess the acute oral toxicity of the test material following a single oral administration to the Sprague-Dawley CD strain rat. The method followed that in the OECD Guidelines for Testing of Chemicals No. 423 “Acute Oral Toxicity - Acute Toxic Class Method” (adopted 22 March 1996) and Method B1 tris of Commission Directive 96/54/EC (which constitutes Annex V of Council Directive 67/548/EEC).
The results may be used as a basis for classification and labelling under Annex VI of Council Directive 67/548/EEC (as adapted to technical progress by Commission Directive 93/21/EEC) relating to the classification, packaging and labelling of dangerous substances.
2. Using all available information, 2000 mg/kg bodyweight was selected as the starting dose.
A group of three fasted females was treated with the starting dose. This was followed by a group of three fasted animals of the other sex at the same dose level. Dosing was performed sequentially.
The test material was administered orally, undiluted. The animals were observed ½, 1, 2 and 4 hours after dosing and then once daily for fourteen days. Bodyweights were recorded on Day 0 (day of dosing) and on Days 7 and 14. At the end of the observation period all animals were killed by cervical dislocation and subjected to gross necropsy.
3. There were no deaths.
4. There were no signs of systemic toxicity.
5. All animals showed expected gains in bodyweight over the study period.
6. No abnormalities were noted at necropsy.
7. The acute oral median lethal dose, (LD50) of the test material, in the Sprague-Dawley CD strain rat, was estimated as being greater than 2000 mg/kg bodyweight. No mortalities were noted in animals treated with 2000 mg/kg bodyweight.
No symbol and risk phrase are required according to EU labelling regulations.
