Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
Category 5 based on GHS criteria
Conclusions:
The lethal concentration (LD50) value for acute oral toxicity test was considered to be >5000 mg/kg bw ,when 5 male and 5 female Wistar (SPF cpB) rats were treated with Sodium 4-chloro-3-nitrobenzenesulphonate (17691-19-9) orally.
Executive summary:

Acute oral toxicity study was done in 5 male and 5 female Wistar (SPF cpB)rats using test material Sodium 4-chloro-3-nitrobenzenesulphonate(17691-19-9) following 14 days of observation period.Rats were 14 weeks old.Initial weight of male animals was 161 g and the female rats had an average initial weight of 160 g. The rats were conventionally kept in Makrolonkaefigen type III on dust-free wood granules at a room temperature of 22 +/- 1.5 degrees Celsius and 2 hours of light / dark rhythm (artificial lighting from 7 am to 7 pm CET) and a relative humidity of approx. 60 +/- 5% in groups of 5 each animals.The feed,Altromin R 1324 was given ad libitum. Water was provided ad libitum for approximately 16 hours and before until about 4 hours after application.Water was used as vehicle.The substance was formulated in water using a rigid metal stomach probe in koaslantem. Application volume (20 ml / kg body weight) to each 5

males and 5 females were given once. After 1 week and at the end of the 14 days animals were weighed individually.No mortality was observed at dose 5000 mg/kg bw.No poisoning symptoms were observed in animals.The section of some animals killed at the end of the experiment showed no macroscopic findings.Hence,LD50 value was considered to be >5000 mg/kg bw,when rats were treated withSodium 4-chloro-3-nitrobenzenesulphonate(17691-19-9) orally.
