Conclusions:
According to this study, the test item showed slightly irritant effect on the skin of male and female rabbits.
Executive summary:

To test the acute skin irritant effect the test item was applied to the shaven dorsal skin of 3 female and 3 male rabbits. The product was administered undiluted and the time of exposure in the patch test was 4 hours. The dermal reactions were fully reversible within 20 days. According to the study, the test item 1,5-Cyclooctadiene showed slightly irritant effect on the skin of male and female rabbits.

Conclusions:
According to the study, the test item showed no irritant effect on the eyes and mucosa of male and female rabbits.
Executive summary:

The test item was investigated for irritant effects on the eye and associated mucous membranes of 3 female and 3 male rabbits according to OECD TG 405 (1981). The test substance was applied in a single dose of 0.1 ml into the conjuntival sac of each animal. According to the study, the test item showed no irritant effect on the eyes and mucosa of male and female rabbits.
