Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
Category 5 based on GHS criteria
Conclusions:
LD50 was considered to be 6330 mg/kg bw when rats were treated with 3-methylbutyl benzoate orally.
Executive summary:

In a acute oral toxicity study, rat were treated with 3-methylbutyl benzoate in the concentration of 6330 mg/kg bw. 50 % mortality was observed in treated rats at 6330 mg/kg bw. Therefore, LD50 was considered to be 6330 mg/kg bw when rats were treated with 3-methylbutyl benzoate orally.
