Executive summary:

In a GLP-compliant study performed according to OECD test guideline 423, two groups, each of three female HanRcc.WIST (SPF) rats, were treated with the test item by oral gavage administration at a dosage of 2000 mg/kg body weight. The test item was diluted in vehicle (purified water) at a concentration of 0.2 g/mL and administered at a volume dosage of 10 mL/kg. The animals were examined daily during the acclimatization period and mortality, viability and clinical signs were recorded. All animals were examined for clinical signs at approximately 30 minutes, 1, 2, 3 and 5 hours after treatment on day 1 and once daily during test days 2-15. Mortality/viability was recorded at approximately 30 minutes, 1, 2, 3 and 5 hours after administration on test day 1 (with the clinical signs) and twice daily during days 2 - 15. Body weights were recorded on day 1 (prior to administration) and on days 8 and 15. All animals were necropsied and examined macroscopically.

All animals survived until the end of the study period.

Slightly ruffled fur was noted in all animals from the 30-minute or 1-hour reading to the 3-hour reading and persisted in three animals until the 5-hour reading. Soft black feces were observed in the cage of the second treated group at the 5-hour reading whereas black feces were observed in the cage of the first treated group on test day 2. The body weight of the animals was within the range commonly recorded for this strain and age. No macroscopic findings were recorded at necropsy. The median lethal dose of the test item after single oral administration to female rats, observed over a period of 14 days is: LD50 (female rat): greater than 2000 mg/kg body weight and it shall not be classified according to the CLP Regulation (Regulation EC No. 1272/2008).

Acute inhalation waiver:

Currently no study to assess the acute inhalation toxicity potential of Reactive Green 034 is available. The calculated value for vapour pressure was found to be 1.73 x 10E-32 Pa at 25 °C. Hence, the substance is considered to have low volatility. Synthesis and formulation of this chemical is performed in a closed process; the final product consists of liquid formulations only. Hence, the use of this substance will not result in aerosols, particles or droplets of an inhalable size, so exposure to humans via the inhalation route will be unlikely to occur. Based on column 2, ‘Specific rules for adaptation from column 1’ of the table given in REACH Annex VII, the study on acute inhalation toxicity only needs to be conducted if an exposure via inhalation is to be expected, based on the likelihood of an exposure to aerosols, particles or droplets. Referring to the expected low volatility of the substance, the fact that the substance is imported into the EU in a formulated form as a liquid formulation, the exposure via inhalation is unlikely. Further, Reactive Green 034 was found to be miscible in water (water solubility 341 g/L) and have low log partition coefficient (≤-4.7), hence in the case of dust of the substance entering the respiratory tract, it will be trapped in the mucus and cleared, thereby further limiting the absorption. The chemical showed low toxicity potential (LD₅₀ >2000 mg/kg bw) in the available acute oral and dermal toxicity studies with no mortality or systemic toxicity, hence it does not need to be classified as STOT SE. Taking  the above arguments into consideration, low toxicity potential is expected on acute exposure of Reactive Green 034 via inhalation routes and hence acute toxicity testing by the inhalation route was considered scientifically not necessary.

Justification for classification or non-classification

Based on the results of oral and dermal toxicity tests of the substance, it is not classified as per EU CLP-Regulation (Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008).
