Description of key information

Acute oral toxicity


OECD 401 (RL1): LD50 > 5000 mg/kg bw, oral, male/female rats


Acute dermal toxicity


A study does not need to be conducted because the substance does not meet the criteria for classification as acute toxicity or STOT SE by the oral route and no systemic effects have been observed in in vivo studies with dermal exposure (skin irritation, skin sensitisation)

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Acute toxicity: via oral route

other: not required

Key result
Sex:
female
Dose descriptor:
LD50
Effect level:
> 5 000 mg/kg bw
Based on:
test mat.
Mortality:
No mortality occurred during the study period.
Clinical signs:
2 days after application all animals showed yellow faeces (no information given in the study report about duration).
Body weight:
All animals showed the body weight gain expected for this species and strain during the observation period.
Gross pathology:
No treatment-related findings were identified during the examination.
Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
The LD50 of the test item was greater than 5000 mg/kg bw after oral administration to rats.
Executive summary:

The acute oral toxicity of the test item was investigated in a group of five male and five female CD rats at a dosage of 5000 mg/kg bw. The animals were starved overnight prior to dosing. The test material was administered at a constant volume-dosage of 20 mL/kg in 0.5% w/v methylcellulose in purified water. 

Mortality and signs of reaction to treatment were recorded during a subsequent 14-day observation period. The animals were killed on the following day and subjected to necropsy. There was no death and sign of reaction to treatment. All animals achieved expected bodyweight gains and necropsy findings were unremarkable. 

Under the conditions of this study, the acute oral median lethal dosage (LD50) of the test material was greater than 5000 mg/kg bw.
