Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
The No Observed Adverse Effect Level (NOAEL) was considered to be 1805 mg/kg/day for males and 2122 mg/kg/day for females respectively for Methane sulphonic acid(75-75-2) by oral feed.
Executive summary:

Repeated dose oral toxicity study was performed for the tets chemical Methane sulphonic acid using male/female Wistar rats in a 7 days study.None of the rats orally exposed to methane sulfonic acid (up to 1800 mg/kg/day) died during the 7-day study. Furthermore, none of the measured parameters (food consumption, body weight change, liver and kidney weight) was affected by the exposure. Consequently, NOAEL can be valued at 1805 mg/kg/day for males and 2122 mg/kg/day for females respectively for Methane sulphonic acid by oral feed.
