Details on test animals or test system and environmental conditions:
TEST ANIMALS
- Source: Atsugi Breeding Center, Charles River Laboratories Japan, Inc.
- Age at study initiation: 8 weeks
- Weight at study initiation: 197 - 204 g
- Fasting period before study: 16 h
- Housing: two animals per cage during the quarantine/acclimation period, afterwards one animal per cage in bracket-type stainless-steel wire mesh cages
- Diet: pelleted diet CRF-1 (Oriental Yeast Co., Ltd., Lot No.: 080904), ad libitum (4 h after exposure)
- Water: tap water ad libitum
- Acclimation period: approximately 1 week

ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS
- Temperature (°C): 23 ± 3
- Humidity (%): 50 ± 20
- Air changes (per hr): 10 - 15
- Photoperiod (hrs dark / hrs light): 12/12

IN-LIFE DATES: From: December 24, 2008 (first step), December 26, 2008 (second step) To: January 7, 2009 (first step), January 9, 2009 (second step)

Administration / exposure

Route of administration:
oral: gavage
Vehicle:
corn oil
Details on oral exposure:
VEHICLE
- Lot/batch no.: PEM1838 (Wako Pure Chemical Industries Ltd.)

MAXIMUM DOSE VOLUME APPLIED: 5 mL/kg bw

CLASS METHOD
- Rationale for the selection of the starting dose: Since the acute oral toxicity of the test article was expected to be extremely low, the starting dose level was set at 2000 mg/kg bw.
Doses:
2000 mg/kg bw (first and second step)
No. of animals per sex per dose:
first step: 3females
second step: 3 females
Control animals:
no
Details on study design:
- Duration of observation period following administration: 14 days
- Frequency of observations and weighing: mortality, clinical signs, external appearance, nutritional condition, posture, behavior and excrement were recorded first 6 h after administration (from immediately to 5 min, up to 15 min, 30 min, 1 h, 2 h, 4 h and 6 h after administration), and then once daily for 14 days. Body weight was measured on day 0 (immidiately before dosing) and on days 1, 3, 7 and 14 after administration.
- Necropsy of survivors performed: yes
- Other examinations performed: gross pathology
Statistics:
Mean values and standard errors were calculated.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
other: CLP/EU GHS criteria are not met, no classification required according to Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008.
Conclusions:
In this acute oral toxicity study performed in rats a LD50 value of > 2000 mg/kg bw was determined.
