- Housing: Individually caged, Stainless steel 325x195x180 mm
- Diet (e.g. ad libitum): ad libitum
- Water (e.g. ad libitum): ad libitum
- Acclimation period: 11 days

ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS
- Temperature (°C): 21.9-22.6ºC
- Humidity (%): 41-44.%
- Air changes (per hr): 15 air changes per hour
- Photoperiod (hrs dark / hrs light): 12 hours per day (7:00 to 19:00) of artificial lighting

Administration / exposure

Route of administration:

oral: gavage

Vehicle:

other: 0.5 w/v % methylcellulose solution

Details on oral exposure:

VEHICLE
- Concentration in vehicle: 200 mg/mL
- Amount of vehicle (if gavage): 10 mL/kg

CLASS METHOD
- Rationale for the selection of the starting dose: 2000 mg/kg dose was selected based on previous acute toxicity on the analogue Solven Yellow 3 (5, 50, 300 and 2000 mg/kg ) and Solvent Black 5 test (300 and 1000 mg/kg). In the first study, the LDLO was determined to be 1500 mg/kg. In the second study no toxicity was observed at 1000 mg/Kg.

Doses:

2000 mg/kg bw (two steps)

No. of animals per sex per dose:

3 females / group

Control animals:

no

Details on study design:

- Duration of observation period following administration: 14 days.
- Frequency of observations and weighing: General conditions: daily during acclimation, pre-dose, 15 min, 30 min and every hour until 6 hours after administration, twice daily during the observation period, and once before necropsy. Body weight: Days -1, 0 (prior to administration), 1, 4, 7, 10, 13 and 14 (necropsy day)
- Necropsy of survivors performed: Yes (Day 14). Visual inspection of internal organs and tissues; organ weights. No histopathological inspection was considered necessary.

Interpretation of results:

not classified

Remarks:

Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU

Conclusions:

The discriminating dose was determined to be 2000 mg/kg bw in rats.

Executive summary:

An acute toxicity study was performed according to OECD Guideline 423 (GLP study). Six female rats were exposed to a single oral dose of 2000 mg/kg bw in two steps. After the administration of the test item, the animals were observed for 14 days. General and detailed clinical observations were conducted daily during the entire experiment. Body weights of the animals were periodically determined. After the 14-day observation period, the animals were euthanized and subjected to a necropsy and a detailed gross examination. All the animals survived the experiment. Abnormal stool color (black) was only observed at 3 hours and days 1, 2 and 3 after administration. During the 14-day experiment, body weight and body weight gain were found normal. Regarding the gross examinations, no lesions were found . The substance was classified as category 5 or less of the GHS regarding acute toxicity.
