Description of key information
Acute oral toxicity:
The acute oral toxicity dose (LD50) was considered based on different studies conducted on rats for the test chemical. The LD50 value is >2000 mg/kg bw, for acute oral toxicity. Thus, comparing this value with the criteria of CLP regulation, the given test chemical cannot be classified for acute oral toxicity.
Acute Inhalation Toxicity:
The acute inhalation toxicity study need not be conducted because exposure to humans via inhalation route is not likely taking into account due to the low vapour pressure of the test chemical, which is reported to be 0.0089 mm Hg. Thus, exposure to inhalable dust, mist and vapour of the chemical is highly unlikely. Therefore this study is considered for waiver.
Acute Dermal toxicity:
The acute dermal toxicity dose (LD50) was considered based on different studies conducted on rats and rabbits for the test chemical. The studies concluded that LD50 value is >2000 mg/kg bw, for acute dermal toxicity. Thus, comparing this value with the criteria of CLP regulation, the given test chemical cannot be classified for acute dermal toxicity.

- Executive summary:
Acute dermal toxicity test was performed on 10 wistar male and female rats to determine the LD50 value of test chemical. Ten healthy Wistar albino rats of both sex (ranging bw 180±40 gm) were selected for study after acclimatization. Approximate 10 percent back skin of total body surface area was prepared 24 hrs prior to application of test compound. The test chemical was applied dermally at the dose level of 2000 mg/kg b.wt for each animal. The treated animals were closely observed for clinical signs of intoxication during first four hours of test compound administration. Thereafter, all the animals were observed periodically at one hour interval for 24 hrs and twice daily for a period of 14 days. The body weight of each rat was observed on day 0 (pre treatment), 7th and 14th (post treatment). The necropsy was performed on all animals at the termination of the study. Rats were free from any systematic and local clinical signs when observed after 24 hours of patch removal. After 14 days observation no mortality was observed. No body weight change was observed.
Necropsy was conducted at the end of the observation on all the animals (day 15th), did not reveal any significant gross pathological changes related to compound toxicity. Skin- Skin and hair coat was observed wet, All external and internal orifices were observed to be normal.
The LD50 value is reported to be >2000 mg/kg bw. Based on the results obtained from present investigation, it can be concluded that the test compound is non toxic to Wistar albino rats under test condition.

Additional information
Acute oral toxicity:
In different studies, the given test chemical has been investigated for acute oral toxicity to a greater or lesser extent. Often are the studies based on in-vivo experiments in rodents, i.e. most commonly in rats for test chemical. The studies are summarized as below –
Acute oral toxicity study of test chemical was conducted on rats at the dose concentration of 60000, 38000, 33800, 20000 and 5000 mg/kg bw. The test chemical was administered via oral unspecified route. All animals were maintained under close observation for recording toxic signs and time of death for 14 days. No mortality and clinical signs were observed during 14 days observation period. Therefore, LD50 value was considered to be >60000 mg/kg bw, when rats were treated with test chemical via oral route.
Thus, based on the above summarised studies on test chemical, it can be concluded that LD50 value is >2000 mg/kg bw. Thus, comparing this value with the criteria of CLP regulation, the given test chemical cannot be classified for acute oral toxicity.
Acute Inhalation Toxicity:
The acute inhalation toxicity study need not be conducted because exposure to humans via inhalation route is not likely taking into account due to the low vapour pressure of the test chemical, which is reported to be 0.0089 mm Hg. Thus, exposure to inhalable dust, mist and vapour of the chemical is highly unlikely. Therefore this study is considered for waiver.
Acute Dermal Toxicity:
In study report, the given test chemical has been investigated for acute dermal toxicity to a greater or lesser extent. Often are the studies based on in-vivo experiments in rodents, i.e. most commonly in rats for test chemical. The study is summarized as below –
Acute dermal toxicity test was performed on 10 wistar male and female rats to determine the LD50 value of test chemical. Ten healthy Wistar albino rats of both sex (ranging bw 180±40 gm) were selected for study after acclimatization. Approximate 10 percent back skin of total body surface area was prepared 24 hrs prior to application of test compound. The test chemical was applied dermally at the dose level of 2000 mg/kg b.wt for each animal. The treated animals were closely observed for clinical signs of intoxication during first four hours of test compound administration. Thereafter, all the animals were observed periodically at one hour interval for 24 hrs and twice daily for a period of 14 days. The body weight of each rat was observed on day 0 (pre treatment), 7th and 14th (post treatment). The necropsy was performed on all animals at the termination of the study. Rats were free from any systematic and local clinical signs when observed after 24 hours of patch removal. After 14 days observation no mortality was observed. No body weight change was observed.
Necropsy was conducted at the end of the observation on all the animals (day 15th), did not reveal any significant gross pathological changes related to compound toxicity. Skin- Skin and hair coat was observed wet, All external and internal orifices were observed to be normal.
The LD50 value is reported to be >2000 mg/kg bw. Based on the results obtained from present investigation, it can be concluded that the test compound is non toxic to Wistar albino rats under test condition.
Thus, based on the above summarized studies on test chemical, it can be concluded that LD50 value is >2000 mg/kg bw. Thus, comparing this value with the criteria of CLP regulation, the given test chemical cannot be classified for acute dermal toxicity.
Justification for classification or non-classification
Based on the above studies on test chemical, it can be concluded that LD50 value is >2000 mg/kg bw, for acute oral and acute dermal toxicity. Thus, comparing this value with the criteria of CLP regulation, the given test chemical cannot be classified for acute oral and acute dermal toxicity. For acute inhalation toxicity wavier was added so, not possible to classify.
