Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.

The new ECHA CHEM database has been released by ECHA, and it now contains all REACH registration data. There are more details on the transition of ECHA's published data to ECHA CHEM here.

Administrative data

Endpoint:
acute toxicity: oral
Type of information:
experimental study
Adequacy of study:
key study
Reliability:
2 (reliable with restrictions)
Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
test procedure in accordance with generally accepted scientific standards and described in sufficient detail
Justification for type of information:
1-butanol is the main hydrolysis prodcuts of the target substance. Properties of the the hydrolysis substance are used for read-across.

Qualifier:
according to guideline
Guideline:

Results and discussion

Effect levels
Key result
Sex:
male/female
Dose descriptor:
LD50
Effect level:
ca. 2 510 mg/kg bw
Based on:
test mat.
95% CL:
>= 2 220 - <= 2 840
Mortality:
Mortality occured 4-18 hours after dosing, no further data
Clinical signs:
other: depression, coma
Gross pathology:
not reported

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
Category 5 based on GHS criteria
Conclusions:
The oral LD50 on rats was 2510 mg/kg bw. Meet acute oral toxicity category 5 according to GHS.
Executive summary:

As the target substance hydrolyses rapidly (half-life < 5 minutes) the intrinsic properties are related to hydrolysis products of the target substance. This information is used as a supporting evidence on the toxicity of the target substance in CSA.
