Additional information
Testing of acute oral toxicity in rat and cat following an OECD like protocol or company methods revealed LD50 values of 6951 mg/kg bw for the rat and >500 mg/kg bw for the cat. Inhalation and dermal toxicity data are only available from secondary literature (reliabilit 4) and provide an LC50 of ca. 2.5 mg/L for inhalation and an LD50 of >2000 mg/kg bw for dermal exposure.
No definite indications for a relevant MetHb formation or MetHb caused lethality were observed in any of these studies that might affect the assessment of human relevance of these findings. Thus valid LD50 or LC50 values were adequate for direct comparison with classification criteria.
Justification for classification or non-classification
The substance is listed in Annex VI to regulation (EC) No 1272/2008 but is not classified related to acute toxicity. Data presented here are not contradictory to that since oral and dermal LD50 values do not correspond with criteria for classification and since reliability of inhaltion toxicity date is not assignable. In conclusion based on the available data presented here no adjustment of classification is warrantable.

Information on Registered Substances comes from registration dossiers which have been assigned a registration number. The assignment of a registration number does however not guarantee that the information in the dossier is correct or that the dossier is compliant with Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 (the REACH Regulation).
