In dosing group 14.700 mg/kg bw six rats died (two males, four females). The two highest dosing groups 17.800 mg/kg bw and 21.500 mg/kg bw caused the death of five animals each (one male, 4 females; two males, three females).

Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Interpretation of results:
- GHS criteria not met
- Conclusions:
- The acute oral toxicity study on Sprague-Dawley rats treated with 1,1-bis(tert-butylperoxy)cyclohexane resulted in a LD50 of above 2000 mg/kg bw for male and female rats.
- Executive summary:
The acute oral toxicity of 1,1-Di(t-butyl peroxy) cyclohexane was evaluated in Sprague-Dawley rats. The test material was administered orally by gavage as a solution in com oil at the following dosage levels to male and female rats: 6810, 8260, 10000, 12100, 14700, 17800 and 21500 mg/kg.The rats were observed for mortality, only, during the first four hours following dosing, at 24 hours and daily thereafter for a total of 14 days. Body weights were recorded immediately prior to dosing (control weight) and at 7 and 14 days. All surviving rats gained weight during the study. The LD50 value for male and female animals was determined to be 16653 mg/kg bw with a 95 % confidence interval of 11912 to 23279 mg/kg bw.
