Description of key information

In a 28-day oral gavage study reduced body weights were noted in high dose male rats at 500 mg/kg bw/d which proved to be reversible upon 14-day recovery. The NOAEL was 150 mg/kg bw/d.
In a read across approach subchronic 6-month inhalation studies with rats, guinea pigs and rabbits were considered. A NOAEC of 300 ppm (13.4 mmol/m³) was identified based on reduced body weight at 600 ppm (26.7 mmol/m³) in male rats.

Additional information

NOAEL (oral, rat) : subacute 28 -day gavage study in rats based on reduced body weight at 500 mg/kg bw/d

NOAEL (dermal, rat) calculated from 28 -day oral study, assuming a worst case of 100% dermal absorption

NOAEC (inhalation, rat) calculated from read across to 6-month repeated dose inhalation study with cyclohexene (NOAEC 300 ppm =13.4 mmol/m³) based on reduced body weight gain at 600 ppm

Justification for classification or non-classification

Based on the results in experimental studies upon repeated dosing, no classification according to EU and GHS criteria is required.
