Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Interpretation of results:
- not classified
- Remarks:
- Migrated information LD50 is greater than 5000 mg/kg body weight; not classified under CLP (EC 1272/2008) Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
- Conclusions:
- Under the conditions of this study, the oral LD50 was determined to be greater than 5000 mg/kg body weight in males and females. Vacuum Residuum is not classified under CLP (EC 1272/2008).
- Executive summary:
In an acute oral toxicity study, groups of fasted, Sprague-Dawley rats (5/sex) were given a single oral dose of Vacuum Residuum in corn oil at a dose of 20 mL/kg body weight and observed for 14 days. Clinical observations include: hypoactivity, diarrhea and dark brown / black staining of the anal region. The oral LD50 was determined to be greater than 5000 mg/kg body weight in males and females.
This study received a Klimisch score of 2 and is classified as reliable with restrictions because it is an acceptable and a well-documented study report.
