Results and discussion

Effect levels
Key result
Sex:
male/female
Dose descriptor:
LD50
Effect level:
> 5 mL/kg bw
Based on:
test mat.
Remarks on result:
other: no animals died during the 14 day observation period, corresponding to 6150 mg/kg bw (density set 1.23 g/cm³), corresponding to 4305 mg submission substance per kg bw
Mortality:
- no deaths occured
Clinical signs:
other: - all animals were sedated within the first 30min up to about 3 h - from 3 hours post apllication until the end of the study no more clinical signs were observed
Gross pathology:
- no macroscopically visible changes were linked to the substance treatment
Other findings:
- Histopathology: was not performed due to the fact that there were no macroscopically visible changes

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
Single application of a limit dose of 5 mL of test substance per kg bw did not cause lethality in male and female Wistar rats during the 14 day observation period, thus resulting in a LD50 > 5 mL/kg bw (corresponding to 6150 mg test item/kg bw based on a density of 1.23 g/cm³ (i.e. 4305 mg submission substance per kg bw)).
Executive summary:

Male and female Wistar rats (5/sex) were subjected to test acute oral toxicity according to a standard acute method (EU method B1). The test material was administered by gavage at a limit dose of 5 mL/kg bw. Besides some minor effects occurring after application (transient sedation in between 0.5 and 3 hours post application) no other clinical effects were seen. No animal died during the 14 day observation period, resulting in a LD50 > 5 mL/kg bw (corresponding to 6150 mg test item/kg bw based on a density of 1.23 g/cm³ (i.e. based on the concentration of 70% of the submission substance in the test item: 4305 mg submission substance per kg bw)). Therefore, the substance has not to be classified for acute oral toxicity according to regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008.
