Description of key information
Acute oral toxicity:
The acute oral toxicity dose (LD50) was considered based on experimental study conducted on rats for the test chemical. The LD50 value is >2000 mg/kg bw, for acute oral toxicity. Thus, comparing this value with the criteria of CLP regulation, the given test chemical cannot be classified for acute oral toxicity.
Acute Inhalation Toxicity:
According to column 2 of REACH Annex VIII, the acute toxicity inhalation study need not be conducted because exposure of humans via inhalation route is not likely taking into account the low vapour pressure of the substance, which is reported as 0.00944 Pa. Also considering the particle size distribution of the substance the majority of the particles was found to be in the size of 150 micrometer which is much larger size range compared to the inhalable particulate matter. 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 experimental study conducted on rats for the test chemical. The LD50 value is >2000 mg/kg bw, for acute dermal toxicity. Thus, comparing this value with the criteria of CLP regulation, the given test chemical cannot be classified for acute dermal toxicity.

The clinical signs and mortality observations were conducted at immediately (0 to 5 minutes), 5, 10, 30, 60 minutes, 2, 4 and 6 hours on the day of dosing and once daily thereafter for 14 day. Daily observation was done as far as possible at the same time.
The observations were included general clinical signs, observations of eyes, mucous membranes, respiratory, circulatory system and behavior pattern.
Body weights: Individual animal body weights were recorded, before fasting, prior to administration of the test item (fasting body weights), weekly thereafter and at termination on day 14. Weight changes were calculated and recorded.
Gross Pathology: Necropsy was performed on all animals at the end of the study period on day 15. Macroscopic examination of all the orifices, cavities and tissues were made and the findings were recorded. All animals surviving the study period were sacrificed by the carbon dioxide asphyxiation technique.

- Executive summary:
The reported study was designed and conducted to determine the acute oral toxicity profile of the given test chemical as per OECD Guideline 423 (Acute Oral toxicity - Acute Toxic Class Method) in Sprague Dawley rats.
Initially, three female animals were treated at the dose level of 300 mg/kg body weight of the test item (Step - I). Administration of the test item at 300 mg/kg did not result in any signs of toxicity and mortality at 24 hours after the dosing. As no mortality was observed at 24 hours after the dosing, three female animals were added to the study and treated with the same dose of 300 mg/kg of the test item (Step - II). Administration of the test item at 300 mg/kg did not result in any signs of toxicity and mortality after the dosing.
No mortality was observed at 300 mg/kg dose group, hence additional three female animals were treated with the higher dose of 2000 mg/kg of the test item (Step - I). Administration of the test item at 2000 mg/kg did not result in any signs of toxicity and mortality after the dosing. As no mortality were observed at 24 hours after the dosing, additional three female animals were treated with the higher dose of 2000 mg/kg of the test item (Step - II). Administration of the test item at 2000 mg/kg did not result in any signs of toxicity and mortality after the dosing.
Gross pathological examination did not reveal any abnormalities in animals from 300 mg/kg and 2000 mg/kg dose groups.
Under the condition of the study, the acute oral LD50 value of 1the given test chemical was considered to be >2000 mg/kg body weight. Thus, it was concluded that the acute toxicity study of the given test chemical, when administered via oral route in Sprague Dawley rats falls into the “Category Not classified” criteria of CLP.

Initially, three female animals were treated at the dose level of 300 mg/kg body weight of the test item (Step - I). Administration of the test item at 300 mg/kg did not result in any signs of toxicity and mortality at 24 hours after the dosing. As no mortality was observed at 24 hours after the dosing, three female animals were added to the study and treated with the same dose of 300 mg/kg of the test item (Step - II). Administration of the test item at 300 mg/kg did not result in any signs of toxicity and mortality after the dosing.
No mortality was observed at 300 mg/kg dose group, hence additional three female animals were treated with the higher dose of 2000 mg/kg of the test item (Step - I). Administration of the test item at 2000 mg/kg did not result in any signs of toxicity and mortality after the dosing. As no mortality were observed at 24 hours after the dosing, additional three female animals were treated with the higher dose of 2000 mg/kg of the test item (Step - II). Administration of the test item at 2000 mg/kg did not result in any signs of toxicity and mortality after the dosing.
Gross pathological examination did not reveal any abnormalities in animals from 300 mg/kg and 2000 mg/kg dose groups.
Under the condition of the study, the acute oral LD50 value of 1the given test chemical was considered to be >2000 mg/kg body weight. Thus, it was concluded that the acute toxicity study of the given test chemical, when administered via oral route in Sprague Dawley rats falls into the “Category Not classified” criteria of CLP.
Above study is supported with the data mentioned in peer- reviewed journal for the test chemical. In an acute oral toxicity study, Crl:CD® (SD) Br male rats were treated with the given test chemical in the concentration of 670, 2200, 3400, 5000, 7600 and 11,000 mg/kg as suspension in corn oil orally by gavage. The dose was administered in 2 portions, 15 minutes apart, at the 7600 and 11,000 mg/kg levels and observed for 14 days. Death up to 2 days after dosing were observed at 5000 and 11,000 mg/kg and no mortality were observed at 670, 2200, 3400 and 7600 mg/kg in treated male rats. Lethargy and Slight to severe weight loss were observed in male rats when treated with 5000 and 11,000 mg/kg. Therefore, LD50 was considered to be > 3400 mg/kg when Crl:CD® (SD) Br male rats were treated with the given test chemical orally by gavage. Thus, according to CLP criteria for acute toxicity rating for the chemicals, it infers that the given test chemical does not classify as an acute oral toxicant.
Thus, based on the above summarised studies on test chemical, the LD50 value was considered to be >2000 mg/kg bw. Therefore, comparing this value with the criteria of CLP regulation, the given test chemical cannot be classified for acute oral toxicity.
Acute Inhalation Toxicity:
According to column 2 of REACH Annex VIII, the acute toxicity inhalation study need not be conducted because exposure of humans via inhalation route is not likely taking into account the low vapour pressure of the substance, which is reported as 0.00944 Pa. Also considering the particle size distribution of the substance the majority of the particles was found to be in the size of 150 micrometer which is much larger size range compared to the inhalable particulate matter. 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 reported study was designed and conducted to determine the acute dermal toxicity profile of the given test chemical as per OECD Guideline 402 (Acute Dermal Toxicity) in Sprague Dawley rats.
The test item was applied to shorn skin of 5 male and 5 female animals at 2000 mg/kg body weight. Administration of the test item at 2000 mg/kg did not result in any skin reaction at the site of application during the study period of 14 days. Administration of the test item did not result in any signs of toxicity and mortality during the study period of 14 days.
Animals exhibited normal body weight gain through the study period of 14 days.
Gross pathological examination did not reveal any abnormalities attributable to the treatment.
It was concluded that the acute dermal median lethal dose (LD50) of the given test chemical, when administered to male and female Sprague Dawley rats was considered to be >2000 mg/kg body weight. Thus, according to CLP criteria for acute toxicity rating for the chemicals, it infers that the given test chemical does not classify as an acute dermal toxicant.
CLP Classification: “Not classified”.
Justification for classification or non-classification
Based on the above studies on test chemical, it can be concluded that the LD50 value is >2000 mg/kg bw, for acute oral and acute dermal toxicity. Thus, comparing this value with the criteria of CLP regulation, the given test chemical cannot be classified for acute oral and acute dermal toxicity. For acute inhalation toxicity wavier was added so, not possible to classify.
