Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Description of key information

Three acute toxicity studie for succinimide are available.

In two acute oral studies an LD50 has been determined of 14 g/kg bw for rats and 11 g/kg bw for mice.

Additional information

Justification for classification or non-classification

Based on the available data, succinimide does not warrant classification for acute toxicity. The LD50 value for the oral route was above the limit value for classification (2000 mg/kg bw).
