Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Interpretation of results:
- not classified
- Remarks:
- Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: other: EU and CLP classifications
- Conclusions:
- Under the conditions of this test, Heptanal did not induce any mortality among the animals at the tested dose level of 5000 mg/kg.
- Executive summary:
In an acute oral toxicity study, 10 rats were given a single oral dose of heptanal at a dose level of 5000 mg/kg bw and observed for 14 days. No death occurred during the course of the study. Lethargy and piloerection were the only clinical signs reported. LD0 = 5000 mg /kg bw in rats.
Under the conditions of this test, heptanal is therefore not classified according to EU and GHS classifications.
