Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
Category 4 based on GHS criteria
Remarks:
Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
Conclusions:
The oral LD50 for 6,6-DIMETHYL-2-CYCLOHEXENONE is 500 mg/kg bw in female rats therefore it is classified in category 4 (H302) according to CLP Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008.
Executive summary:

In an acute oral toxicity study performed according to OECD Guideline 423 (using acute toxic class method), Sprague Dawley female rats were treated with two doses, 2000 and 300 mg/kg bw by gavage. Animals were then observed for mortality, clinical signs and bodyweights and were all sacrificed for macroscopic examination.

No mortality was observed at dose 300 mg/kg bw and death was observed for the 3 rats treated at dose 2000 mg/kg.

No clinical signs related to the administration of the test item were observed at dose 300 mg/kg bw. Body weight gain of the treated animals was not affected by test item at dose 300 mg/kg bw.

Animals treated at 2000 mg/kg showed a reduction in spontaneous activity, muscle tone and righting reflex during the first hours of the treatment.

In this study, the oral LD50 of 6,6-DIMETHYL-2-CYCLOHEXENONE was considered to be 500 mg/kg bw in female rats.

Therefore, 6,6-DIMETHYL-2-CYCLOHEXENONE is lassified in category 4 (H302) according to CLP Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008.
