Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
Based on the results of this study, the LD50 of the test substance was determined to be greater than 5g/kg bodyweight. According to Regulation EC No. 1272/2008, the test substance does not require classification.
Executive summary:

In a study conducted by Moreno (1972), the test substance, Benzyl Acetate, was applied to 3 rabbits at a dose of 5g/kg body weight. The rabbits were observed for 14 days following application. The study resulted in an LD50 determined to be greater than 5g/kg bodyweight. According to Regulation EC No. 1272/2008, the test substance does not require classification.
