Registration Dossier
Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.
The new ECHA CHEM database has been released by ECHA, and it now contains all REACH registration data. There are more details on the transition of ECHA's published data to ECHA CHEM here.

Results and discussion
Effect levels
- Sex:
- male
- Dose descriptor:
- LD50
- Effect level:
- > 5 000 mg/kg bw
- 95% CL:
- 9.63 - 20.77
- Remarks on result:
- other: LD50 quoted as 14.1 mL/kg (12267 mg/kg using density of 0.87)
Any other information on results incl. tables
LD50 quoted as 14.1 mL/kg (9.63 -20.77)
Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Interpretation of results:
- not classified
- Remarks:
- Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
- Conclusions:
- LD50 value of 14.1 mL/kg (9.63-20.77), corresponding to 12267 g/kg (8.38-18.07).
- Executive summary:
Acute dermal toxicity in the rabbit was found to be low (LD50 >5000 mg/kg). Toluene does not warrant classification under GHS / CLP.
Information on Registered Substances comes from registration dossiers which have been assigned a registration number.
