Materials and methods

Principles of method if other than guideline:
Method: other: OECD Guideline 406 (1981)
GLP compliance:
no
Type of study:
guinea pig maximisation test
Justification for non-LLNA method:
A skin sensitization test according to OECD 406 has already excisted since 1989 and is sufficient for evaluation of the skin sensitisation potential of the test substance.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
not sensitising
Remarks:
Migrated information
Conclusions:
Under the conditions of this guinea pig maximization test, the test item cyclododecanol showed no dermal sensitization in female guinea pigs.
Executive summary:

In a guinea pig maximization test performed with the test item cyclododecanol, after intracutane and epidermal inductions and 24 hours as well as 48 hours after epidermal challenge none of the 20 animals examined in this study, showed positive response regarding dermal sensitization. Under the conditions of this guinea pig maximization test, the test item cyclododecane showed no dermal sensitization in female guinea pigs.
