Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Interpretation of results:
- GHS criteria not met
- Conclusions:
- The acute oral median lethal dose (LD50) of the test material, DTBP, in the Sprague-Dawley strain rat was found to be greater than 2000 mg/kg bodyweight.
- Executive summary:
A study was performed to assess the acute oral toxicity of the test material, DTBP, in the Sprague-Dawley strain rat. The method used followed that described in the OECD Guidelines for Testing of Chemicals (1981) No. 401 "Acute Oral Toxicity" referenced as Method B1 in Commission Directive 84/449/EEC (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 83/467/EEC).
Following a range-finding study, a group of ten fasted animals (five males and five females) was given a single oral dose of test material, as a suspension in arachis oil B.P. at a dose level of 2000 mg/kg bodyweight. The animals were observed for fourteen days after the day of dosing and were killed for gross pathological examination.
There were no deaths. No signs of systemic toxicity were noted during the study.
All animals showed expected gain in bodyweight during the study. No abnormalities were noted at necropsy.
The acute oral median lethal dose (LD50) of the test material, DTBP, in the Sprague-Dawley strain rat was found to be greater than 2000 mg/kg bodyweight. No symbol and risk phrases are required according to EEC labeling regulations.
