Executive summary:

In an acute oral toxicity study 5 rats were given asingle oral dose of 5000 mg/kg bw Petitgrain Bigarde Oil. No mortality or clinical signs were noted. The Oral LD50 was established to be higher than 5000 mg/kg bw. This study was performed according to the 401 OECD Guideline. Under the conditions of this study, Petitgrain oil - citrus aurantum does not need to be classified for acute oral toxicity, based on Based on CLP criteria (EC 1272/2008 and its updates).
