Results and discussion

Effect levels
Sex:
male/female
Dose descriptor:
LD50
Effect level:
> 10 mL/kg bw
Remarks on result:
other: no animals died within the observation period; 10 mL test substance/kg bw corresponds to about 3500 mg Pigment Yellow 55/kg bw
Mortality:
- no deaths occurred
Clinical signs:
other: - urine and faeces were yellow-coloured at 21 hours post application - no abnormalities were noted after day 2 or at terminal autopsy
Gross pathology:
- the animals killed at the end of the observation period showed no macroscopically visible changes

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
not classified
Remarks:
Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: other: CLP regulation
Conclusions:
Single application of 10 ml test substance, corresponding to about 3500 mg Pigment Yellow 55 per kg bw, did not cause lethality in male and female rats, resulting in a LD50 > 10 ml/kg bw (thus corresponding to about 3500 mg Pigment/kg bw).
The test was performed with a test substance which contains relevant amounts of the submission substance. Therefore the test results are considered adequate to fulfil the endpoint requirements.
Executive summary:

Male and female RAI rats were subjected to test acute oral toxicity. The test substance was administered by gavage at the limit dose of 10 ml /kg bw (corresponding to about 3500 mg Pigment Yellow 55/kg bw). No animal died under these conditions, resulting in a LD50 > 10 ml/kg bw (thus corresponding to about 3500 mg Pigment Yellow 55/kg bw).

Classification for acute oral toxicity is not necessary according to Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008.
