Description of key information

Acute oral toxicity: Weight of evidence: Based on the read-across approach from the analogue L-borneol, the acute oral LD50 value of isoborneol is 6500 mg/kg bw in rats.

Acute oral toxicity: Weight of evidence: Based on the read-across approach from the analogue isobornyl acetate, the acute oral LD50 value of isoborneol is >7859 mg/kg bw in rats.

Acute oral toxicity: Weight of evidence: Based on the read-across approach from the analogue isobornyl acetate, the acute oral LD50 value of isoborneol is 7072 mg/kg bw in mice.

Acute oral toxicity: Supporting study: The acute oral LD50 value of isoborneol is 5200 mg/kg bw in rats.

Acute dermal toxicity: Weight of evidence. Based on the read-across approach from the analogue L-Borneol, the acute dermal LD50 value of isoborneol was determined to be greater than 2000 mg/kg bw in rabbits.

Acute dermal toxicity: Weight of evidence. Based on the read-across approach from the analogue isobornyl acetate, the acute dermal LD50 value of isoborneol was determined to be greater than 15717 mg/kg bw in rabbits.

Acute dermal toxicity: Supporting study: The acute dermal LD50 value of isoborneol is higher than 5000 mg/kg bw in rabbits.

Acute inhalation toxicity: Data waiving (study scientifically not necessary): According to REACH Annex VIII, column 2: In addition to the oral route, for substances other than gases, the information mentioned under 8.5.2 to 8.5.3 shall be provided for at least one other route. The choice for the second route will depend on the nature of the substance and the likely route of human exposure. If there is only one route of exposure, information for only that route needs to be provided. The information is provided for dermal route.

Justification for classification or non-classification

Based on the available data (LD50 (oral) = 6500 mg/kg bw and LD50 (Dermal) > 2000 mg/kg bw), the substance is not classified for acute toxicity according to CLP Regulation (EC) no. 1272/2008.
