Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
In an acute oral toxicits study with TBPPI in rats a combinded LD50 value of 4169 mg/kg bw was determined.
Executive summary:

Twenty-five male and twenty- five female rats of the Sprague Dawley strain were used for an acute oral toxicity study. The test material was administered orally by gavage as a solution in corn oil at the following dosage levels to male and female rats: 1585; 2512; 3980 and 10000 mg/kg bw. Five rats of each sex were used at each dosage level. All the dosage levels were administered at a volume of 10 mL/ kg except for the high dose, which was administed at a volume of 20 mL/kg.

The rats were observed for mortality, only, during the first four hours following dosing, at 24 hours and daily thereafter for a total of 14 days. Body weights were recorded immediately prior to dosing and at 7 and 14 days.

No animal died at the two lowest dosage levels. Four females died at the dosage level of 3980 mg/kg bw and all animals died in the two highest dosage levels.

The combined male and female acute oral LD50 value was 4169 mg/kg bw and the 95th confidence interval was 3587 - 4845 mg/kg bw.
