The appropriate dose volume of the test substance was administered to each rat using a syringe and plastic catheter (8 choke)
Doses:
Single doses
No. of animals per sex per dose:
3 males and 3 females
Control animals:
no
Details on study design:
- Each animal was identified by cage number and ear punching.
- Each cage was identified by a coloured label displaying the dose level, study schedule number and the initials of the study director.
- Animals were observed soon after dosing and at frequent intervals for the remainder of day one (a minimum period of five hours).
- On subsequent days the animals were observed once in the morning and again at the end of the experimental day.
- The latter observation was at approximately 16:30 hours on weekdays or 11:30 hours on Saturday and Sunday.
- Clinical signs were recorded at each observation.
- All animals were observed for 14 days after dosing.
- Nature, severity, approximate time of onset and duration of each toxic sign was recorded.
- Individual bodyweights of rats were recorded on days 1, 8 and 15.
- All animals were killed on day 15 by cervical dislocation and were subjected to a macroscopic post mortem examination, which consisted of opening the abdominal and thoracic cavities.
- Macroscopic appearance of abnormal organs when present was recorded.

Dose descriptor:
LD50
Effect level:
> 5 mg/kg bw
Mortality:
No deaths took place following administration of test material at 2.0 or 5.0 g/kg bodyweight
Clinical signs:
other: - All rats showed pilo-erection, abnormal body carriage (hunched posture), abnormal gait (waddling), lethergy and increased salivation within three hours of dosing (refer to Table 1, attached). - Decreased respiratory rate was seen in all rats treated wit

Executive summary:

In an acute oral toxicity study (limit test), ten rats were given a single oral dose of Oil Patchouly at 5000 mg/kg bw. Animals were observed for mortality and clinical signs for 14 days.

No mortality or clinical signs was observed. In this study, the oral LD50 of Oil Patchouly was higher than 5000 mg/kg bw in rats.

Under the experimental conditions of this study, the test substance is not classified according to Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008 (CLP) and to GHS.

Additional information

In an acute oral toxicity study, dose of 3000 and 5000 mg/kg bw of the test substance was given to groups of male and females rats (6/dose). Observations for toxic symptoms and mortality were made for 14 days, and the survivors were sacrificed without autopsy. No deaths were observed.

In another acute oral toxicity study (limit test), ten rats were given a single oral dose of Patchouly oil at 5000 mg/kg bw. Animals were observed for mortality and clinical signs for 14 days.

0 deaths was observed on 10 animals. No others signs of toxicity were observed. In this study, the oral LD50 was higher than 5000 mg/kg bw in rats.

Under the experimental conditions of these studies, the test substance is not classified according to Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008 (CLP) and to GHS.

Justification for classification or non-classification

Self classification:

Acute toxicity via Oral route:

Based on the available data, the substance is not classified according to the Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008 as the LD50 is greater than 5000 mg/kg bw
