Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
Category 5 based on GHS criteria
Conclusions:
Under the test conditions, test material is:
- not classified according to the Annex VI of the Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008 (CLP) as the oral LD50 is higher than 2000 mg/kg bw
- classified as category 5 according to the GHS since rat Oral LD50 is lower than 5000 mg/kg bw (3450 mg/kg bw)
Executive summary:

In an acute oral toxicity study, performed similarly to OECD Guideline No. 401, groups of rats (10/dose) were administered a single oral dose of test material at 2560, 3200, 4000 and 5000 mg/kg bw. Animals were then observed for mortality and clinical signs daily for 14 days.

 

All ten animals died at 5000 mg/kg bw. 5/10 and 8/10 animals died at 3200 and 4000 mg/kg bw. No mortality was observed at 2560 mg/kg bw. Slight lethargy was observed in animals treated with 2560 mg/kg bw. Animals treated with 3200, 4000 and 5000 mg/kg bw showed lethargy and loss of righting reflex.

 

Rat Oral LD50 = 3450 mg/kg bw (95 % confidence limits of 3160-3740 mg/kg bw)

Under the test conditions, test material is:

- not classified according to the Annex VI of the Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008 (CLP) as the oral LD50 is higher than 2000 mg/kg bw

- classified as category 5 according to the GHS since rat Oral LD50 is lower than 5000 mg/kg bw (3450 mg/kg bw)

This study is considered as acceptable and satisfies the requirement for acute oral toxicity endpoint.
