Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
slightly irritating
Remarks:
Migrated information but not classified Criteria used for interpretation of results: other: Regulation EC 1272/2008
Conclusions:
Under the conditions of the study, the test item 1,5,9 -cyclododecatriene showed a slightly irritant effect on the skin of male and female rabbits which leads to no classification according to 67/548/EEC and according CLP regulation (1272/2008).
Executive summary:

To test the acute skin irritant effect the test item 1,5,9 -cyclododecatrien was applied to the shaven dorsal skin of 3 male and 3 female rabbits (OECD 404 guideline study). The product was administered undiluted and the time of exposure in the patch test was 4 hours. Observations were made at various unspecified time points. Test item produced minimal erythema in all rabbits and minial edema of the abraded skin in two rabbits. Subsequent observations revealed a gradual return to normal (complete after one week).

According to the study, the test item 1,5,9 -cyclododecatrien showed a slightly irritant effect on the skin of male and female rabbits.
