Description of key information
Acute oral toxicity:
The acute oral toxicity dose (LD50) was considered based on different studies conducted on rats for the test chemical. The LD50 value is 1300 mg/kg bw. The study concluded that LD50 is between 300-2000 mg/kg bw, for acute oral toxicity. Thus, comparing this value with the criteria of CLP regulation, the given test chemical can be classified in “Category 4” for acute oral toxicity.
Acute Inhalation Toxicity:
The acute inhalation toxicity study need not be conducted because exposure to humans via inhalation route is not likely taking into account due to the low vapour pressure of the test chemical, which is reported to be 1.24E-008 Pa. Thus, exposure to inhalable dust, mist and vapour of the chemical is highly unlikely. Therefore this study is considered for waiver.
Acute Dermal toxicity:
The acute dermal toxicity dose (LD50) was considered based on different studies conducted on rats for the test chemical. The LD50 value is 1300 mg/kg bw. The study concluded that LD50 value is between 1000-2000 mg/kg bw, for acute dermal toxicity. Thus, comparing this value with the criteria of CLP regulation, the given test chemical can be classified in “Category 4” for acute dermal toxicity.

- Executive summary:
In different studies, the given test chemical has been investigated for acute dermal toxicity to a greater or lesser extent. Often are the studies based on in-vivo experiments in rodents, i.e. most commonly in rats for test chemical. The studies are summarized as below –
1. Acute Dermal toxicity study of the given test chemical was conducted in white rats at the concentration range of 1224-1647 mg/kg bw. The given test chemical was applied as aqueous solutions to the shaved skin of the stomach of white rats 4 cm2 in area with a 4-day exposure. Animals were observed for clinical signs. Calculation of the mean lethal dose (LD50) was carried out by the probit analysis method of Litchfield and Wilcoxon. 50% mortality was observed at 1420 mg/kg bw. Behavioural changes were observed such as, somnolence (general depressed activity) and haemorrhage was observed. Hence, LD50 value was considered to be 1420 mg/kg bw, with 95% confidence limit of 1224-1647 mg/kg bw, when white rats were treated with the given test chemical by dermal application.
2. Acute Dermal toxicity study of the given test chemical was conducted in group of 5 male rats at the concentration range of 960-1750 mg/kg bw. Preliminary range finding study was performed. 24 hours before dosing the entire trunk area of each rat was clipped free of hair. Appropriate amounts of test substances were weighed and applied on a body weight basis by moistening the sample with distilled water to form a paste. The sample was spread over as large an area of the trunk as possible and secured with double-layered gauze bandaging tape. After a 24-hr exposure period, all coverings were removed and any remaining test material was wiped off. Necropsy of survivors performed. Animals were observed for clinical signs, body weight changes.LD50 value was calculated by the moving average method of Thompson (1947). 50% mortality was observed at 1300 mg/kg bw. Topical administration caused localized effects, including erythema, edema, desquamation, necrosis, and scab formation; generalized toxic symptoms included sluggishness and reddish nasal and ocular discharges were observed. Body weight gains of animals subjected to test chemical was within normal limits. Gross necropsy did not reveal any significant changes related to the test compound. Hence, LD50 value was considered to be 1300 mg/kg bw, with 95% confidence limit of 960-1750 mg/kg bw, when group of 5 male rats were treated with test chemical by dermal application occlusively for 24-hr.
Thus, based on the above summarised studies on test chemical, it can be concluded that LD50 value is between 1000-2000 mg/kg bw, for acute dermal toxicity. Thus, comparing this value with the criteria of CLP regulation, the given test chemical can be classified in “Category 4” for acute oral toxicity.

Acute oral toxicity:
In different studies, the given test chemical has been investigated for acute oral toxicity to a greater or lesser extent. Often are the studies based on in-vivo experiments in rodents, i.e. most commonly in rats for test chemical. The studies are summarized as below –
1. Based on the QSAR prediction done using the Danish (Q)SAR Database, the acute oral toxicity was estimated for the given test chemical. The LD50 was estimated to be 1300 mg/kg bw with Reliability Index 0.61 (0.5-0.75 = moderate prediction quality), when rats were treated with the given test chemical via oral route.
2. Acute oral toxicity study was performed using test chemical in male rats at the dose concentration of 1100 mg/kg bw. 50% mortality was observed at dose 1100 mg/kg bw. Hence, LD50 value was considered to be 1100 mg/kg bw, when male rats were treated with test chemical orally.
3. Acute oral toxicity study was performed in rats using test chemical. 50% mortality was observed at dose 1250 mg/kg bw. Hence, LD50 value was considered to be 1250 mg/kg bw, when rats were treated with test chemical orally.
Thus, based on the above summarised studies on test chemical, it can be concluded that LD50 value is between 300-2000 mg/kg bw. Thus, comparing this value with the criteria of CLP regulation, the given test chemical can be classified in “Category 4” for acute oral toxicity.
Acute Inhalation Toxicity:
The acute inhalation toxicity study need not be conducted because exposure to humans via inhalation route is not likely taking into account due to the low vapour pressure of the test chemical, which is reported to be 1.24E-008 Pa. Thus, exposure to inhalable dust, mist and vapour of the chemical is highly unlikely. Therefore this study is considered for waiver.
Acute Dermal Toxicity:
In different studies, the given test chemical has been investigated for acute dermal toxicity to a greater or lesser extent. Often are the studies based on in-vivo experiments in rodents, i.e. most commonly in rats for test chemical. The studies are summarized as below –

Thus, comparing this value with the criteria of CLP regulation, the given test chemical can be classified in “Category 4” for acute oral toxicity.
Justification for classification or non-classification
Based on the above studies on test chemical, it can be concluded that LD50 value is between 300-2000 mg/kg bw, for acute oral toxicity and LD50 value is between 1000-2000 mg/kg bw, for acute dermal toxicity. Thus, comparing this value with the criteria of CLP regulation, the given test chemical can be classified in “Category 4” for acute oral and acute dermal toxicity. For acute inhalation toxicity wavier was added so, not possible to classify.
