Interpretation of results:
other: Not classified
Remarks:
Annex I of the CLP Regulation (1272/2008/EC)
Conclusions:
Based on the results in this study the testing material does not need to be classified for acute toxicity in accordance with the criteria outlined in Annex I of the CLP Regulation (1272/2008/EC).
Executive summary:

10 Rats were treated by the oral exposure to Ethyl Amyl Ketone at a dose level of 5000 mg/kg bw. Mortality and clinical signs were recorded. Signs of systemic toxicity included piloerection, lethargy, ptosis and flaccidity. Five animals were found dead one day after dosing. Necropsy revealed damage to lungs, kidneys, intestines and stomach. The LD50 was determined to be 5000 mg/kg bw. Based on these results the testing material does not need to be classified for acute toxicity in accordance with the criteria outlined in Annex I of the CLP Regulation (1272/2008/EC).
