Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
Under the conditions of this study the acute oral toxicity of Cyclododecanol is very low in rats. The derived LD50 is greater than 2500 mg/kg of
body weight.
Executive summary:

The test item Cyclododecanol was applied by oral gavage once to 4 dose-groups of 10 rats in doses of 1000; 1500; 2000 and 2500 mg/kg bw as solution in acetone/vegetable oil 1:10. The observation period was 7 days, there was no mortality. No clinical signs were observed in the 1000 mg/kg bw group,  all other treated animals showed increased respiratory rate and   imparied general condition. Under the conditions of this study the acute oral toxicity of Cyclododecanol is very low in rats. The derived LD50 is greater than 2500 mg/kg of body weight.
