Description of key information

Acute toxicity: oral route.

- Key study: OECD 420 and EU Method B.1 bis. GLP study. The oral lethal dose 50 (LD50) of the test item in rats is greater than 2000 mg/kg b.w.

Acute toxicity: dermal route

- Key study: OECD 402 and EU B.3. GLP study. The dermal LD50 of the test item in rats is greater than 2000 mg/kg bw.

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
The median lethal dose (LD50) of the test item on female rats is greater than 2000 mg/kg b.w.
Executive summary:

The acute oral toxicity of the test item was determined on female Wistar rats in accordance to the OECD Guideline 420 with GLP. A preliminary experiment was conducted in which the test item at a single dose of 300 mg/kg b.w. was administered to one animal. Since no evident toxicity was observed in dose 300 mg/kg b.w., the test item at a single dose of 2000 mg/kg b.w. was administered to the second animal. No signs of toxicity or mortality were observed on both animals. On the grounds of the preliminary experiment results, four animals used in the main experiment were given the test item at a dose of 2000 mg/kg b.w. The test item in the form of an oil suspension in a volume of 0.5 mL/100 g b.w. was administered with a metal stomach tube. After the administration of the test item, the animals were observed for 14 days. General and detailed clinical observations were conducted daily during the entire experiment and body weights of the animals were determined on day 0, 7 and 14. During the 14-day experiment body weights of all animals increased. No signs of toxicity were stated and the animals survived the experiment. Gross examinations did not reveal any pathological changes in the examined animals. On the grounds of the study results LD50 of the test item is greater than 2000 mg/kg b.w.

Justification for data waiving:
the study does not need to be conducted because exposure of humans via inhalation is not likely taking into account the vapour pressure of the substance and/or the possibility of exposure to aerosols, particles or droplets of an inhalable size
Justification for type of information:
JUSTIFICATION FOR DATA WAIVING

Additional information

Acute toxicity : oral

The acute oral toxicity of the test item was determined on female Wistar rats in accordance to the OECD Guideline 420 with GLP. A preliminary experiment was conducted in which the test item at a single dose of 300 mg/kg b.w. was administered to one animal. Since no evident toxicity was observed in dose 300 mg/kg b.w., the test item at a single dose of 2000 mg/kg b.w. was administered to the second animal. No signs of toxicity or mortality were observed on both animals. On the grounds of the preliminary experiment results, four animals used in the main experiment were given the test item at a dose of 2000 mg/kg b.w. After the administration of the test item, the animals were observed for 14 days. General and detailed clinical observations were conducted daily during the entire experiment and body weights of the animals were determined on day 0, 7 and 14. During the 14-day experiment body weights of all animals increased. No signs of toxicity were stated and the animals survived the experiment. Gross examinations did not reveal any pathological changes in the examined animals. On the grounds of the study results LD50 of the test item is greater than 2000 mg/kg b.w.

Acute toxicity : dermal

The acute dermal toxicity of the test item was determined in accordance to the OECD Guideline 402 with GLP. The test item at a single dose of 2000 mg/kg b.w. was applied to the shaved dorsal area of the trunks of 5 males and 5 females rats for 24 hours. After the application of the test item, the animals were observed for 14 days. General and detailed clinical observations of all animals were performed daily during the entire experiment. Body weights of the animals were determined on days 0 (directly before the application of the test item), 7, and 14. After the 14-day observation period, the animals were euthanized, dissected, and subjected to detailed gross examinations. The animals did not exhibit any general clinical signs. No pathological changes on the treated skin were noticed. All animals survived the experiment. These results indicate that the acute dermal LD50 of the test item is > 2000 mg/kg bw in rats.

Justification for classification or non-classification

Based on the available information (oral and dermal LD50 higher than 2000 mg/kg bw), the substance is not classified for acute toxicity according to CLP Regulation (EC) no. 1272/2008.
