Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
not classified
Remarks:
Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
Conclusions:
The dermal LD50 for eucalyptus oil is higher than 5000 mg/kg bw in rabbits therefore it is not classified according to the Annex VI to the Directive 67/548/EEC and the CLP Regulation (EC) N° (1272-2008).
Executive summary:

In an acute dermal toxicity study, 10 rabbits were administered a single dermal dose of eucalyptus oil at 5000 mg/kg bw. Animals were then observed for mortality and clinical signs of toxicity for 14 days.

No deaths and clinical signs of toxicity occurred during the observation period. Dermal reactions noted were slight redness (5/10 rabbits), moderate redness (3/10 rabbits) and moderate oedema (10/10 rabbits) at the site of application.

The dermal LD50 for eucalyptus oil is higher than 5000 mg/kg bw in rabbits therefore it is not classified according to the Annex VI to the Directive 67/548/EEC and the CLP Regulation (EC) N° (1272-2008).
