Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:

Mortalities, clinical symptoms and significant dermal resorption of the test substance were not observed in this study. The LD 50 was determined to be greater than 500 mg/kg bw for acute dermal toxicity in male rats under conditions of this study.
Executive summary:

In this study acute dermal toxicity of the substance cyclododecane was examined in male rats. Mortalities, clinical symptoms and significant dermal resorption of the test substance were not observed in this study. The LD 50 was determined to be greater than 500 mg/kg bw for acute dermal toxicity in male rats under conditions of this study.
