Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Additional information

During exposure of the substance by the oral, dermal and inhalation routes only a minor incidence of mortality was observed and never at a rate considered to be significant when dosing levels at or below the volumes specified above. Where significant mortality has been observed, this was observed at dose levels significantly higher than those specified above. The limit values expressed above are, therefore, considered appropriate.

Justification for selection of acute toxicity – oral endpoint

Data from several studies are available for this endpoint.  The lowest dose tested as 5000mg/l and all data available demonstrate a lack of toxicity at or below this dose level.  This is concentration is therefore assigned as a limit for oral toxicity.

Justification for selection of acute toxicity – inhalation endpoint

Exposure to the test substance was at the highest attainable dose.  No toxic effects were observed at the maximum dose.

Justification for selection of acute toxicity – dermal endpoint

Several study data endpoints are available to assess the dermal toxicity.  All data demonstrate a complete absence of toxic effects due to exposure

Justification for classification or non-classification

As not significant mortality has been observed at the limit values expressed above, the substance is considered to be not classified as acutely toxic.
