Executive summary:

The test substance was assessed for acute inhalation toxicity according to OECD 403. 

No mortality occurred at 5.08 mg/L air. Dose-related signs of toxicity included a slightly decreased breathing rate in all animals that developed in severity, from slight in the first hour, to moderate during the remainder of the exposure period. In addition, slightly laboured breathing was noted in two male rats in the last two hours of exposure. Clinical signs shortly after exposure included a decreased breathing rate and sluggishness. The sluggishness continued during the first day and some rats were observed to have grunting respiration. In the remainder of the 14-day observation period no exposure-related observations were seen. At necropsy, abnormalities were limited to the lungs and consisted of a few white spots on two lobes in 3 males and on one lobe in 1 female and discolouration of the lungs in two other females.

The acute inhalation LC50 of the test material in the rats (male and female) was determined to be greater than 5.08 mg/L air.

Additional information

Acute oral

The test substance was assessed for acute oral toxicity according to EU Method B1. 

No mortality occurred at 2000 mg/kg and no clinical signs of toxicity were observed. No abnormalities were found in the animals at macroscopic post mortem examination. 

The acute oral LD50 of the test material in the Wistar strain rats (male and female) was determined to be greater than 2000 mg/kg bodyweight.

 

Acute inhalation

The test substance was assessed for acute inhalation toxicity according to OECD 403. 

No mortality occurred at 5.08 mg/L air. Dose-related signs of toxicity included a slightly decreased breathing rate in all animals that developed in severity, from slight in the first hour, to moderate during the remainder of the exposure period. In addition, slightly laboured breathing was noted in two male rats in the last two hours of exposure. Clinical signs shortly after exposure included a decreased breathing rate and sluggishness. The sluggishness continued during the first day and some rats were observed to have grunting respiration. In the remainder of the 14-day observation period no exposure-related observations were seen. At necropsy, abnormalities were limited to the lungs and consisted of a few white spots on two lobes in 3 males and on one lobe in 1 female and discolouration of the lungs in two other females.

The acute inhalation LC50 of the test material in the rats (male and female) was determined to be greater than 5.08 mg/L air.

 

Acute dermal

The test substance was assessed for acute dermal toxicity according to EU Method B3. 

No mortality occurred at 2000 mg/kg. There were no signs of toxicity related to dose levels during the 14 day observation period, and no abnormalities were found in the animals at macroscopic post mortem examination. 

The acute dermal LD50 of the test material in the Wistar strain rats (male and female) was determined to be greater than 2000 mg/kg bodyweight.


Justification for selection of acute toxicity – oral endpoint
Study data over 12 years old provided by ECHA, on a previously notified substance considered comparable and suitable for use for the substance being registered.

Justification for selection of acute toxicity – inhalation endpoint

Study data over 12 years old provided by ECHA, on a previously notified substance considered comparable and suitable for use for the substance being registered.

Justification for classification or non-classification

Based on acute oral and acute dermal LD50 values of > 2000 mg/kg bw and the acute inhalation LD50 of 5.08 mg/L the test substance is not classified in accordance with the criteria outlined in Regulation (EC) 1272/2008/EC (CLP) or Directive 67/548/EEC (DSD).
