Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
At 1000, 2000, 4000 and 8000 mg/kg, no deaths were observed.
Therefore no classification is required.
Executive summary:

Acute toxicity testing was done on Farnesene (other name of Bisabolene) and at 1000, 2000, 4000 and 8000 mg/kg doses administrated by oral route, no deaths were observed. The range containing the LD50 with a probability of at least 95 per cent is >8000mg/kg.

Therefore no classification is required.
