- Frequency of observations and weighing: Animals were observed soon after dosing and at frequent intervals for the remainder of Day 1 (a minimum period of 5 hours). On subsequent days the animals were observed once in the morning and again at the end of the experimental day. this latter observation was at approximately 16.30 hours on week days or 11.30 hours on Saturday and Sunday. Clinical signs were recorded at each observation. Bodyweights were recorded on dau 1, 8 and 15.

Results and discussion
Effect levels
- Key result
- Dose descriptor:
- LD50
- Effect level:
- 5 000 mg/kg bw
- Mortality:
- Single deaths occured amongst male rats doses at 2.0 g/kg and amongst rats of both sexes treated at the higher dose level following oral administration of Benzoin hypersoluble. Deaths occured on days 2 and 5.
- Clinical signs:
- other: Pilo erection and increased salivation were observed in all rats within five minutes of dosing. Other clinical signs, apparent within four hours of dosing, were limited to rats at the higher dose level and included abnormal body carriage (hunched posture)
- Gross pathology:
- No macroscopic abnormalities
Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Interpretation of results:
- GHS criteria not met
- Conclusions:
- The acute median lethal oral dose (LD50) to rats of Benzoin Hypersoluble was found to be approximately 5 000 mg/kg bw. Therefore the test substance is not classified according to Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008 (CLP) and to GHS.
- Executive summary:
In an acute oral toxicity study 3 male rats and 3 female rats were given single oral doses of Benzoin Hypersoluble at 2 and 5 g/kg bw. Animals were observed for mortality and clinical signs for 14 days.
One male doses at 2.0 g/kg was found dead at day 5 and, one male and one female doses at 5.0 g/kg were found dead at day 2.
The acute median lethal oral dose (LD50) to rats of Benzoin Hypersoluble was found to be approximately 5 000 mg/kg bw
Under the experimental conditions of this study, the test substance is not classified according to Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008 (CLP) and to GHS.
