Dose descriptor:
LD50
Effect level:
> 5 mL/kg bw
Based on:
test mat.
Mortality:
No mortality was noted during the 7 day observation period.
Clinical signs:
other: Animals were showing signs of stress within 1 hour after treatment, but had recovered within 18 hours.
Gross pathology:
Animals presented a normal apperance at autopsy, apart from one male mouse that appeared immature.
Other findings:
None

None

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
Under the test conditions, the oral LD50 of the test substance is >5 mL/kg bw therefore it is not classified according to the Regulation (EC) N° 1272-2008 and according to the GHS.
Executive summary:

In an acute oral toxicity study, a single oral dose of 5 mL/kg bw of the undiluted test substance was given to 6 mice. Animals were then observed for mortality and clinical signs of toxicity for 7 days.

 

No mortality was noted during the 7 day observation period. Animals were showing signs of stress within 1 hour after treatment, but had recovered within 18 hours. Animals gained weight and presented a normal apperance at autopsy, apart from one male mouse that lost 3 g and appeated immature at autopsy.

 

Mice Oral LD50 > 5 mL/kg bw.

 

Under the test conditions, the oral LD50 of the test substance is >5 mL/kg bw therefore it is not classified according to the Regulation (EC) N° 1272-2008 and according to the GHS.

Additional information

Acute toxicity: via oral route

In an acute oral toxicity study, a single oral dose of 5 mL/kg bw of the undiluted test substance was given to 6 mice. Animals were then observed for mortality and clinical signs of toxicity for 7 days.

 No mortality was noted during the 7 day observation period.

Mice Oral LD50 > 5 mL/kg bw.

 

Justification for classification or non-classification

Harmonized classification:

The registered substance has no harmonized classification according to the Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008.

Self-classification:

Acute toxicity via Oral route:

Based on the available information on Lavandin concrete, the registered substance is:

- not classified according to the Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008 as the LD50 is greater than 5 mL/kg bw
