Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Qualifier:
equivalent or similar to guideline
Guideline:
OECD Guideline 408 (Repeated Dose 90-Day Oral Toxicity Study in Rodents)
Principles of method if other than guideline:
METHOD FOLLOWED: Similar to OECD 408; the study
was performed before OECD 408 came into force, but conforms
to a number of the conditions.
GLP: No, study executed before existence of GLP.

Histopathological findings: non-neoplastic:
no effects observed
Description (incidence and severity):
Except for the kidneys, no morphological
changes have been observed in the organs examined. The
observed histological changes in the kidneys (tubule wall
calcinosis, glomerular swelling, tubule swelling, weakening of
the renal tubule cell walls and dilation of the tubule lumen)
were not dose-related and occurred also in the controls.
Cylindrical inclusions in the renal tubular cells were only
observed in the medium dosage group.
