Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
other: not classified
Remarks:
based on CLP criteria
Conclusions:
In this acute oral toxicity test an LD50 of 44,750 mg/kg bw was determined. Based on these results, Cedryl acetate does not need to be classified for acute oral toxicity in accordance with the criteria outlined in Annex I of the CLP Regulation (1272/2008/EC).
Executive summary:

In this study, 10 rats (5 males and 5 females) were treated with Cedryl acetate via oral gavage. Observation period was 14 days after treatment and toxic signs and mortality were reported. An LD50 is calculated based on the results. Two animals died during the study, one after 4 hours and one after 11 days. The rats showed depression, scrawny appearance, rough and wet fur during the observation period. The acute oral LD50 for the substance in male and female rats was calculated to be 44,750 mg/kg bw, with a 95% Confidence Interval of 33,650-59,520 mg/kg bw. Based on the results of this study, Cedryl acetate does not need to be classified for acute oral toxicity in accordance with the criteria outlined in Annex I of the CLP Regulation (1272/2008/EC).
