Description of key information
ACUTE TOXICITY ORAL:
The LD50 of 1-phenylethyl acetate was determined to be >5000 mg/kg according to a study performed in line with Federal Hazardous Substances Labelling Act: Hazardous Substances; US Department of Health, Education and Welfare, Food and Drug Administration.
ACUTE TOXICITY: INHALATION
In line with point 8.5.2, Column 2, Annex VIII of Regulation 1907/2006, an acute inhalation study does not need to be performed as the use of this substance will not result in aerosols, particles or droplets of an inhalable size, so exposure to humans via the inhalatory route will be unlikely to occur. The acute toxicity endpoint has been addressed by assessing the toxicity via the oral and dermal routes which are more appropriate when considering the properties of this substance.
ACUTE TOXICITY: DERMAL
The LD50 of 1-phenylethyl acetate was determined to be >8 mL according to a study performed in line with Association of Food and Drug Officials of the United States, Appraisal of the Safety of Chemicals in Foods, Drugs and Cosmetics, 1959, pp 54-56.

- Under the conditions of the test, the dermal LD50 of the test substance was determined to be > 8 mL. The LD50 of the test substance was greater than 4 mL/kg bw (approximate).
- Executive summary:
In a pre-GLP acute dermal toxicity study conducted in line with the Association of Food and Drug Officials of the United States, Appraisal of the Safety of Chemicals in Foods, Drugs and Cosmetics, 1959, pp 54-56, the acute dermal toxicity LD50 of the test substance was determined to be >8 ml (approximately 3.2-4 mL/kg bw) equivalent to 3200 to 4000 mg/kg bw.
Reference
There was very slight erythema evident in rabbits #4 and #6 at 24 hours. However, during the remainder of the test period, all animals showed no signs of irritation or abnormality. No behavioural changes nor evidence of toxicity were seen within the 14 day test period. Blood chemistries and urinanalysis are within normal ranges and the test substance was considered to be slightly to non-irritating.

Endpoint conclusion
- Endpoint conclusion:
- no adverse effect observed
- Quality of whole database:
- The key study (McGee, 1971) is a non-GLP study and was performed in compliance with the Association of Food and Drug Officials of the United States, Appraisal of the Safety of Chemicals in Foods, Drugs, and Cosmetics (1959) pp 54-56 with a sufficient level of detail to assess the quality of the presented data. The study was performed to a good standard in line with sound scientific principles and was assigned a reliability score of 2 in accordance with Klimisch (1997). The study was allocated this score as it was non-GLP performed to a non-standardised guideline.
Additional information
Justification for selection of acute toxicity – oral endpoint
Weight of evidence approach used - no key study available.
Justification for selection of acute toxicity – dermal endpoint
Only one study available.
Justification for classification or non-classification
Acute toxicity: oral
The acute oral toxicity studies indicate that the test substance has no effect in acute oral toxicity which requires the substance to be classified. Therefore the substance does not require classification in line with Directive 67/548/EEC and Regulation 1272/2008.
Acute toxicity: dermal
The key study for acute dermal toxicity indicates that the test substance has no effect on acute dermal toxicity which requires the substance to be classified. Therefore the substance does not require classification in line with Directive 67/548/EEC and Regulation 1272/2008.
