Executive summary:

10 Rats were treated by the oral exposure to Ethyl Amyl Ketone at a dose level of 5000 mg/kg bw. Mortality and clinical signs were recorded. Signs of systemic toxicity included piloerection, lethargy, ptosis and flaccidity. Five animals were found dead one day after dosing. Necropsy revealed damage to lungs, kidneys, intestines and stomach. The LD50 was determined to be 5000 mg/kg bw. Based on these results the testing material does not need to be classified for acute toxicity in accordance with the criteria outlined in Annex I of the CLP Regulation (1272/2008/EC).

Executive summary:

10 Rabbits were treated by dermal exposure to Ethyl Amyl Ketone at a dose level of 5000 mg/kg bw. Mortality and clinical signs were recorded. Signs of skin irritation (redness and oedema) were noted in all animals. There were no signs of systemic toxicity, none of the animals died. Necropsy of the animals after termination of the study revealed Kidney white nodules in 1/10 animals, yellow intestines portions in 2/10 animals, white nodules in the liver in 1/10 and dark nodules in 2/10, and anogenital exudate in in 1/10 animal. The LD50 for acute toxicity dermal was determined to be >5000 mg/kg bw. Based on these results the testing material does not need to be classified for dermal toxicity in accordance with the criteria outlined in Annex I of the CLP Regulation (1272/2008/EC).

Additional information

Oral

10 Rats were treated by the oral exposure to Ethyl Amyl Ketone at a dose level of 5000 mg/kg bw. Mortality and clinical signs were recorded. Signs of systemic toxicity included piloerection, lethargy, ptosis and flaccidity. Five animals were found dead one day after dosing. Necropsy revealed damage to lungs, kidneys, intestines and stomach. The LD50 was determined to be 5000 mg/kg bw. Based on these results the testing material does not need to be classified for acute toxicity in accordance with the criteria outlined in Annex I of the CLP Regulation (1272/2008/EC).

Dermal

10 Rabbits were treated by dermal exposure to Ethyl Amyl Ketone at a dose level of 5000 mg/kg bw. Mortality and clinical signs were recorded. Signs of skin irritation (redness and oedema) were noted in all animals. There were no signs of systemic toxicity, none of the animals died. Necropsy of the animals after termination of the study revealed Kidney white nodules in 1/10 animals, yellow intestines portions in 2/10 animals, white nodules in the liver in 1/10 and dark nodules in 2/10, and anogenital exudate in in 1/10 animal. The LD50 for acute toxicity dermal was determined to be >5000 mg/kg bw. Based on these results the testing material does not need to be classified for dermal toxicity in accordance with the criteria outlined in Annex I of the CLP Regulation (1272/2008/EC).

Justification for classification or non-classification

Ethyl Amyl Ketone does not need to be classified for acute toxicity in accordance with the criteria outlined in Annex I of the CLP Regulation (1272/2008/EC).
