Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
Based on the results of the study, acute dermal LD50 of cyclopentadecanone is > 5000 mg/kg bw.
Executive summary:

In the study predating GLP and OECD guidelines, cyclopentadecanone of unspecified purity was administered to 10 rabbits of unspecified sex and strain via dermal route. Animals were observed for 14 days for mortality and clinical signs. There was one death at day 6. Clinical signs were limited to slight or moderate erythema in 4 out of 10, and slight edema in 3 out of 10 rabbits. Based on the results of the study, acute dermal LD50 of cyclopentadecanone exceeds 5000 mg/kg bw.
