Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Interpretation of results:
- GHS criteria not met
- Conclusions:
- The substance was acutely non toxic to rats in an acute oral toxicity test with an LD50 value >5000 mg/kg bw. The substance is not classified according to CLP.
- Executive summary:
The acute oral toxicity of menthyl acetate was studied in a non-GLP test according to principles slightly deviating from those of current guidelines. 5 animals per sex were exposed to single oral dose of 5000 mg/kg bw. Animals were observed during a period of 14 days. Morbidity was noted in two rats soon after dosing followed by prostration and coma resulting in death of one female rat. The LD50 value was >5000 mg/kg bw.
