Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
not classified
Remarks:
Migrated information LD50 >5000 mg/kg bw Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
Conclusions:
Under the conditions of this study, the oral LD50 for male and female rats administered light paraffinic distillate solvent extract was greater than 5000 mg/kg body weight. According to EU criteria, the test material is not classified.
Executive summary:

In an acute oral toxicity study, groups of fasted, 7 week old Sprague-Dawley rats (5/sex) were given a single oral dose of undiluted light paraffinic distillate solvent at a dose of 5000 mg/kg body weight. Animals were observed for 14 days.

 

Clinical signs observed included: hypoactivity, ataxia, red stained face, yellow-stained anal area, diarrhoea, and oily haircoat. All animals had returned to normal within 8 days of test material administration. The oral LD50 was determined to be greater than 5000 mg/kg body weight in males and females.

 

This study received a Klimisch score of 1 and is classified as reliable without restriction because it was conducted similar to OECD Test Guideline 401.
