Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
not classified
Remarks:
Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: other: Regulation EC 1272/2008 (CLP)
Conclusions:
In a determination of the acute oral toxicity on male and female rats it was found that the LD50 of the test item 1,5,9-cyclododecatriene is
4400 mg/kg of body weight. Under the conditions of this study the acute toxicity of 1,5,9-cyclododecatriene afer oral application in rats is very low.
Executive summary:

In a determination of the acute oral toxicity on male and female rats it was found that the LD50 of the test item 1,5,9-cyclododecatriene is 4400 mg/kg bw. 30minutes after application animals showed restlessness, rough skin, decrease of responsiveness, hunched   posture, diarrhoea, moderate to severe  tremors, convulsions, sedation,  prone position. Those animals surviving the test appeared normal after 5  days at the latest. There was practically no influence on the increase in body weight. Dissection at the end of the experiment revealed redness of the mucosa of the gut and stomach and an accumulation of liquor. Animals which survived the study showed no pathological changes. Under the conditions of this study the acute toxicity of 1,5,9-cyclododecatriene afer oral application in rats is very low.
