Mortality:
In the dose group of 2.22 g/kg, no animal died during the observation period of 14 days. In the dose group of 3.33 g/kg, one animal died on the second day following oral exposure. In the dose group of 5.00 g/kg, 3 animals died on day one, 4 animals died on day two and one animal died respectively on day 7 and day 8 following oral exposure. In the dose group of 7.50 g/kg, 4 animals died respectively on day one and day two and 2 animals died on day three following oral exposure.
Clinical signs:
other: Coma was observed prior to death in animals of the dose group of 5.00 g/kg. Piloerection, urinary incontinence and lethargy were observed in dose group of 7.5 g/kg.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
The substance was not acutely toxic to rats in an acute oral toxicity test. With an LD50 value of 4250 mg/kg bw. The substance is not classified according to CLP.
Executive summary:

The acute oral toxicity of the test substance 3,5,5-trimethylhexyl acetate was studied in a non-GLP test according to principles slightly deviating from those of current OECD guideline 401. Groups of 10 animals were exposed to single oral doses of 2.22, 3.33, 5.00 and 7.50 g/kg bw. Animals were observed during a period of 14 days. No mortality was observed in the low-dose group, whereas one animal in the 3.33 g/kg bw dose group, 9 animals in the 5.00 g/kg dose group and 10 (all) animals in the 7.50 g/kg dose group died within the observation period. The LD50 value was 4.25 g/kg bw with a 95% confidence interval of 3.54 and 4.96 g/kg bw. Coma prior to death was observed in animals dosed with 5.00 g/kg bw, whereas piloerection, urinary incontinence and lethargy were observed in animals dosed with 7.50 g/kg bw.
