Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
Category 5 based on GHS criteria
Conclusions:
The lethal concentration (LD50) value for acute oral toxicity test was considered to be >5000 mg/kg bw ,when rats were treated with Black Pepper Oil (8006-82-4)orally.
Executive summary:

Acute oral toxicity study was done in rats using test material Black Pepper Oil (8006-82-4).No mortality was observed at dose 5000 mg/kg bw. Hence,LD50 value was considered to be >5000 mg/kg bw,when rats were treated with Black Pepper Oil (8006-82-4)orally.
