Interpretation of results:
not classified
Remarks:
Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
Conclusions:
The acute toxicity of 1,2-benzenedicarboxylic acid, diundecyl alkyl ester was investigated following dermal administration of a single dose to the rat at 2000 mg/kg. No mortality occurred following dosing and no signs of toxicity were observed.
These results indicate that the test item, 1,2-benzenedicarboxylic acid, diundecyl alkyl ester, has no toxic effect on the rat following dermal exposure over a 24 hour period at a level of 2000 mg/kg. The lack of mortality demonstrates the LD50 to be greater than 2000 mg/kg.European Directives concerning the classification, packaging and labelling of dangerous substances and mixtures (Regulation (EC) no. 1907/2006, 1272/2008 and subsequent revisions) would indicate the following:

Classification : Not required
Signal word : None indicated
Hazard statement : None indicated
Executive summary:

Acute dermal has been investigated following administration of a single dose to the rat at a level of 2000 mg/kg. No mortaility occurred, demonstrating the LD50 to be greater than 2000 mg/kg.

 

         

Endpoint conclusion
Endpoint conclusion:
no adverse effect observed
Dose descriptor:
LD50
Value:
2 000 mg/kg bw

Additional information

Acute oral toxicity has been investigated following administration of a single oral dose. The LD50 was demonstrated to be in excess of 15800 mg/kg.

Acute dermal toxicity has been investigated following administration of a single dose to the rat at a level of 2000 mg/kg. No mortaility occurred,demonstrating the LD50 to be greater than 2000 mg/kg. In the rabbit, a LD50 in excess of 7940 mg/kg body weight has been reported.

Six hours exposure to a saturated vapour concentration of 1.8 mg/L, resulted in no mortality. The vapour concentration tested is considered to represent the highest achievable.

Justification for classification or non-classification

Non-classification justified by lack of observed toxicity following single exposures by the oral, dermal and inhalation routes.
