Results and discussion

Effect levels

Sex:

male/female

Dose descriptor:

LD50

Effect level:

> 9 000 mg/kg bw

Based on:

test mat.

Mortality:

No mortality was observed at 5 mL/kg and only one female died at 10 mL/kg (day 5) (10%).

Clinical signs:

No symptom was noted at 5 mL/kg. Sedation and dyspnea were observed at 10 mL/kg.

Body weight:

No effect observed, all surviving animals had gained weight.

Gross pathology:

Macroscopic examination of the main organs showed no apparent abnormalities.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:

GHS criteria not met

Conclusions:

Under the conditions of this study, the acute oral LD50 value of the test item was found to be > 9000 mg/kg bw in male and female CD rats. According to the UN GHS and CLP criteria, the substance is not classified for the acute oral toxicity.

Executive summary:

CD rats (5 Males + 5 Females per dose) have been exposed by gavage at 0, 5 and 10 mL/kg of Rhodiantal IBCH (corresponding to 0, 4500 and 9000 mg/kg). Observation period: 15 days.

Results: No mortality was observed at 5 mL/kg and only one female died at 10 mL/kg (day 5) (10%). No symptom was noted at 5 mL/kg. Sedation and dyspnea were observed at 10 mL/kg.

Under the conditions of this study, the acute oral LD50 value of the test item was found to be > 10 mL/kg (corresponding to > 9000 mg/kg ) in male and female CD rats. According to the UN GHS and CLP criteria, the substance is not classified for the acute oral toxicity.
