Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
not classified
Remarks:
Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
Conclusions:
The oral LD50 value of vetivert oil in rats was established as exceeding 5000 mg/kg body weight, under the conditions of this study. The substance therefore does not have to be classified according to the classification criteria outlined in Annex VI of 67/548/EEC (DSD) and Annex I of 1272/2008/EC (CLP).
Executive summary:

A single 5000 mg/kg bw dose of vetiver t oil was administered by oral gavage to 10 male Wistar albino rats. The animals were observed for 14 days while food and water were available ad libitum. No mortality and no symptoms were noted. The oral LD50 value of vetivert oil in rats was established as exceeding 5000 mg/kg body weight, under the conditions of this study. The substance therefore does not have to be classified according to the classification criteria outlined in Annex VI of 67/548/EEC (DSD) and Annex I of 1272/2008/EC (CLP).
