Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
Under the test conditions, oral LD50 of test substance is higher than 5000 mg/kg bw in mice therefore it is not classified according to the Regulation (EC) N° 1272-2008 and GHS.
Executive summary:

In an acute oral toxicity study (limit test), 10 mice were given a single oral dose of carrot seed oil at 5000 mg/kg bw. Animals were then observed for mortality and clinical signs at least daily for 14 days.

Two out of 10 animals died on Day 1. Lethargy was observed. In this study, the oral LD50 of test substance was higher than 5000 mg/kg bw in rats.

 

Under the test conditions, oral LD50 of test substance is higher than 5000 mg/kg bw in mice therefore it is not classified according the Regulation (EC) N° 1272-2008 and GHS.
