Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.

The new ECHA CHEM database has been released by ECHA, and it now contains all REACH registration data. There are more details on the transition of ECHA's published data to ECHA CHEM here.

Administrative data

Description of key information

The oral and dermal LD50 values were above the highest tested dose in acute studies conducted with 2-(4Phenylbenzoyl)benzoic acid.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Acute toxicity: via oral route

Endpoint conclusion
Endpoint conclusion:
no adverse effect observed
Dose descriptor:
LD50
Value:
2 500 mg/kg bw
Quality of whole database:
The information requirements for a PPORD dossier is sufficiently met with the available data.

Acute toxicity: via inhalation route

Endpoint conclusion
Endpoint conclusion:
no study available
Quality of whole database:
The information requirements for a PPORD dossier is sufficiently met with the available data.

Acute toxicity: via dermal route

Endpoint conclusion
Endpoint conclusion:
no adverse effect observed
Dose descriptor:
LD50
Value:
2 000 mg/kg bw
Quality of whole database:
The information requirements for a PPORD dossier is sufficiently met with the available data.

Additional information

The acute oral median lethal dose (LD50) of the test item in the female Wistar strain rat was estimated to be greater than 2500mg/kg body weight.

The acute dermal median lethal dose (LD50) of the test item in the Wistar strain rat was found to be greater than 2000 mg/kg body weight.


Justification for selection of acute toxicity – oral endpoint
This is the only available study, which is conducted according to the OECD guidelines and GLP compliant.

Justification for selection of acute toxicity – inhalation endpoint
no study selected

Justification for selection of acute toxicity – dermal endpoint
This is the only available study, which is conducted according to the OECD guidelines and GLP compliant.

Justification for classification or non-classification

Based on the LD50 values obtained in acute oral and dermal toxicity studies conducted with 2-(4Phenylbenzoyl)benzoic acid, 2-(4Phenylbenzoyl)benzoic acid is not considered to require classification for acute effects according to EC (67/548/EEC) and CLP (EC 1272/2008) criteria.
