Thereafter, the animals were observed for clinical signs once daily until the end of the observation period. All abnormalities were recorded. Cageside observations included changes in the skin and fur, eyes and mucous membranes. Also respiratory, circulatory, autonomic and central nervous systems and somatomotor activity and behaviour pattern were examined.

- Conclusions:
- No animal died. In the study performed the dosis letalis media (LD50) to rats was found to be > 2000 mg/kg bodyweight.
- Executive summary:
Under the conditions of the present study, a single oral application of the test item 2 -decyltetradecanoic acid to rats at a dose 2000 mg/kg body weight was associated with no signs of toxicity or mortality. The median lethal dose of 2 -decyltetradecanoic acid after a single oral administration to female rats, observed over a period of 14 days is: LD50 cut-off (rat): >5000 mg/ kg body weight.

Additional information
Justification for classification or non-classification
All acute studies (oral, dermal) showed that the target substance is practically not toxic with LD50 > 2000 mg/kg. Therefore the substance is not classified.
