Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
According to this study the LD50 value (dermall) was determined to > 2000 mg/kg bw in rats for the test item 3,3,5-trimethylcyclohexanone
Executive summary:

The test item 3,3,5-trimethylcyclohexanone was applied to the dorsolumbar region (shaved 24 hours in advance) in a dose of 2000 mg/kg bw undiluted to 5 male and 5 female Wistar rats. The area was covered for 24 hours, afterwards the test item was removed with corn oil. one male and one female showed erythema and edema after patch removal, one male showed erythema 48 hours after treatment. Later there were no signs of irritation.No signs of intoxication were observed throughout the  observation period and no indications of treatment related macroscopic organ  changes were observed, particularly in skin and  subcutaneous tissue. According to this study the LD50 value (dermall) was determined to > 2000 mg/kg bw in rats for the test item 3,3,5-trimethylcyclohexanone
