Description of key information
The experimental rat LD50 dosed via the oral route was 8340 mg/kg (Klimisch 4).
This experimental result is in strong agreement with the 2 QSAR predictions completed on the 2 components of Cetonal.
These are 2-methyl-4-(2,6,6-trimethylcyclohex-2-en-1-yl)butanal (CAS 73398-85-3) with a predicted LD50 of 5800 mg/kg.and 2-methyl-4-(2,6,6-trimethylcyclohex-1-en-1-yl)butanal (CAS 84518-22-9) with a predicted LD50 of 5040 mg/kg.
Therefore, even though the experimental data is on a Klimisch 4 study, the 2 QSARs on the 2 components confirms the low oral toxicity of Cetonal and the lack of classification.

- Interpretation of results:
- GHS criteria not met
- Conclusions:
- The oral LD50 of Cetonal was calculated to be 9.1 mL (LD50 = 8340 mg/Kg) per kilogram of rat with a 19/20 confidence limit of 7.0 ml to 11.8 ml per kilogram of rat.
- Executive summary:
According to this test conditions, the oral LD50 of Cetonal was calculated to be 9.1 mL (LD50 = 8340 mg/kg) per kilogram of rat with a 19/20 confidence limit of 7.0 ml to 11.8 ml per kilogram of rat. Hence, Cetonal does not met the criteria for classication according the CLP Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008.
