Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
The oral LD50 for Aldehyde C-14 (γ-undecalactone) is higher than 5000 mg/kg bw in rats. Therefore it is not classified according to the Annex I of the Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008 (CLP) and to the GHS.
Executive summary:

In an acute oral toxicity study, groups (5/sex) of Osborne-Mendel rats were given a single oral dose of Aldehyde C-14 (γ-Undecalactone) by oral intubation. Animals were then observed for mortality and clinical signs for 2 weeks. LD50 was calculated using the method of Litchfield & Wilcoxon (1949).

Mortality was observed from 4 h to 5 days after administration of test material. Depression occurred within 10 minutes and wet fur was noticed.

Oral LD50 Combined = 18500 mg/kg bw (16930-20260).

Under the test conditions, the oral LD50 for γ-Undecalactone is higher than 5000 mg/kg bw in rats and therefore it is not classified according to the Annex I of the Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008 (CLP) and to the GHS.
