Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.

The new ECHA CHEM database has been released by ECHA, and it now contains all REACH registration data. There are more details on the transition of ECHA's published data to ECHA CHEM here.

No mortality was observed in any of the animals treated with 5 ml/kg (converted to 4.15 g/kg) of BP83HF.
Clinical signs:

Gross pathology:
Macroscopic post mortem examination of all animals killed at termination (Day 14) revealed no findings considered to be related to treatment.

Conclusions:
The LD50 for BP83HF following oral gavage was >5 ml/kg (converted to 4.15 g/kg). Classification as an oral toxicant is not warranted under the new Regulation (EC) 1272/2008 on classification, labeling and packaging of substances and mixtures (CLP) or under Directive 67/518/EEC for dangerous substances and Directive 1999/45/EC for preparations.
Executive summary:

This data is being read across from the source study that tested Hydrocarbons, C11-C20, n-alkanes, isoalkanes, cyclics, aromatics (2-30%) based on analogue read across.

The acute toxicity of BP83HF was evaluated in rats via oral gavage at a dose of 5 ml/kg bw(converted to 4.15 g/kg). Observations were made as to the nature, onset, severity, and duration of toxicological signs once per day for a total of 14 days. All animals survived the entire observational period and displayed a low incidence of clinical symptoms.  The animals displayed little or no abnormalities. The LD50 for BP83HF following oral gavage was >5 ml/kg (converted to 4.15 g/kg). Classification as an oral toxicant is not warranted under the new Regulation (EC) 1272/2008 on classification, labeling and packaging of substances and mixtures (CLP) or under Directive 67/518/EEC for dangerous substances and Directive 1999/45/EC for preparations.

Test animals

Species:
rat
Strain:
Sprague-Dawley
Sex:
male/female
Details on test animals or test system and environmental conditions:
TEST ANIMALS
- Sex: Males (10); Females (10)
- Weight at study initiation: Males (130-135 g), Females (110-115 g)
- Housing: individual
- Acclimation period: 6d

Administration / exposure

Route of administration:
oral: gavage
Vehicle:
unchanged (no vehicle)
Details on oral exposure:
A single dose of BP83HF (5 ml/kg; converted to 4.15 g/kg) was administered by oral gavage. An additional group of 5 males and 5 females were sham - dosed and acted as controls.
Doses:
5 ml/kg (converted to 4.15 g/kg)
No. of animals per sex per dose:
Male (10), Female (10); total animals (20)
Control animals:
yes
Details on study design:
The acute oral toxicity of BP83HF was investigated in a group of 5 male and 5 female CD rats of the Sprague - Dawley strain. Each animal received a single oral dose of 5 ml/kg (converted to 4.15 g/kg) administered by gavage. An additional group of 5 males and 5 females were 'sham - dosed and acted as controls. The condition of all animals was observed over a 14 day period following dosing.
Statistics:
Differences between treated and control group mean values for bodyweight gains were analyzed by Student t-test. When individual variance ratios were significant (P < 0.05), Cochran's approximation was applied (Snedecor and Cochran, 1973) .
