Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Interpretation of results:
- Category 5 based on GHS criteria
- Conclusions:
- The LD50 of the test item N-(hydroxymethyl) stearamide is greater than 2000 mg/kg body weight after single oral administration to Wistar rats.
- Executive summary:
The purpose of the study was to evaluate the potential toxic effect of the test item N-(hydroxymethyl) stearamide when administered as a single oral dose to Wistar rats.
The procedure according to OECD Guideline 423 Acute Toxic Class (ATC) method was used.
A limit dose of 2000 mg/kg body weight was used as a starting dose. Two groups of 3 females were dosed. All 6 females survived the limit dose. The limit dose of 2000 mg/kg body weight did not cause death or evident signs of toxicity. The body weights of all animals were increasing during the study. No body weight losses were observed between the first and second week after administration. During necropsy, no macroscopic findings were observed.
The LD50 of the test item N-(hydroxymethyl) stearamide is greater than 2000 mg/kg body weight after single oral administration to Wistar rats.
Based on Annex 2d Test Procedure with a Starting Dose of 2000 mg/kg body weight of OECD Guideline 423 it can be concluded that the test item N-(hydroxymethyl) stearamide is according to UN Globally Harmonized System of Classification, Labelling and Packaging of Chemicals classified in Category 5/Unclassified with a LD50 cut off value equal to or greater than 5000 mg/kg body weight according to Regulation (EU) Nr. 1272/2008 (CLP), after single oral administration to Wistar rats.
