Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Justification for classification or non-classification

The 1-hour LC50 in mice was 1750 mg/m3 (446000 ppm) when tested as a vapour (Dow, 1965). The conversion to a 4-hour LC50 for a gas yielded a value of 223000 ppm. In a second mouse study, the 2-hour LC50 was reported as 1691 mg/m3 (431000 ppm), which was converted to a 4-hour LC50 of 304763 ppm for a gas (Bandman et al., 1990). A 7-hour LC50 in rats of >10000 ppm was also reported (Lu et al., 1953). Therefore the test substance does not need to be classified for acute inhalation according to EU Directive 67/548/EEC and the EU Classification, Labelling and Packaging of Substances and Mixtures (CLP) Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008.

                                 

However, in the acute inhalation study in mice, clinical observations were observed that included inactivity, dyspnea, salivation, anaesthesia, loss of righting reflex, excitation, and ataxia. Gross necropsy revealed no significant effects attributable to the test article. Based on the anaesthesia, loss of righting reflex, and ataxia, the test substance is classified as R67 (Vapours may cause drowsiness and dizziness) according to EU Directive 67/548/EEC andSTOT Single Exp. 3 (H336: May cause drowsiness or dizziness) according to EU Classification, Labelling and Packaging of Substances and Mixtures (CLP) Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008.
