Details on study design:

Duration of observation period following administration: 14 days
Frequency of observations and weighing: All animals were observed for 14 days after dosing for general clinical signs, morbidity and mortality. The animals were weighed on day 1 (prior to the administration) and on days 8 and 15. A careful clinical examination was made several times on the day of dosing (at least once during the first 30 minutes and with special attention given during the first 4 hours post-dose). As soon as symptoms were noticed they were recorded. Thereafter, the animals were observed for clinical signs once daily until the end of the observation period. All abnormalities were recorded. Cageside observations included changes in the skin and fur, eyes and mucous membranes. Also respiratory, circulatory, autonomic and central nervous systems and somatomotor activity and behaviour pattern were examined. Particular attention was directed to observations of tremor, convulsions, salivation, diarrhoea, lethargy, sleep and coma.
Necropsy of survivors performed: At the end of the observation period all animals were sacrificed with an overdosage of pentobarbital injected intraperitoneally (CP-Pharma; lot no.: 17C202; expiry date: 28 February 2019) at a dosage of 250-400 mg/kg bw.
All animals were subjected to gross necropsy and examined macroscopically for gross pathological changes. In the absence of gross pathological changes no tissues were preserved for a possible histopathological evaluation.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:

GHS criteria not met

Conclusions:

Under the conditions of the present study, a single oral application of the test item Direct Yellow 147 to rats at a dose of 2000 mg/kg body weight was associated with slight signs of toxicity but no mortality.
The median lethal dose of Direct Yellow 147 after a single oral administration to female rats, observed over a period of 14 days is LD50 cut-off (rat): 5000 mg/kg bw

Executive summary:

Under the conditions of the present study, a single oral application of the test item Direct Yellow 147 to rats at a dose of 2000 mg/kg body weight was associated with slight signs of toxicity but no mortality.
