Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
other: Acute Tox. 4
Remarks:
Based on CLP criteria
Conclusions:
The acute oral toxicity (LD50) of Cornmint oil towards rats is 1.24 g/kg bw under the conditions of this test. Based on this result the substance should be classified as Acute Tox. 4 in accordance with the criteria outlined in Annex I of the CLP Regulation (1272/2008/EC).
Executive summary:

The acute toxicity (LD50) of Cornmint oil towards rats was investigated according to a standard acute method (unspecified guideline). Rats were exposed to a single oral dose of 0.5, 1.2, 1.6 and 5 g/kg bw and were observed for 14 days. Per dose 10 rats were used. The acute toxicity (LD50) was found to be 1.24 g/kg bw under the conditions of this test.
