Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
Category 5 based on GHS criteria
Conclusions:
LD50 was considered to be > 5000 mg/kg bw when rabbits were treated with 3-methylbutyl benzoate dermally.
Executive summary:

In a acute dermal toxicity study, rabbits were treated with 3-methylbutyl benzoate in the concentration of 5000 mg/kg bw. No 50 % mortality was observed in treated rabbits at 5000 mg/kg bw. Therefore, LD50 was considered to be > 5000 mg/kg bw when rabbits were treated with 3-methylbutyl benzoate dermally.
