Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
moderately irritating
Remarks:
Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: other: Draize Scores and according to EU Directive 67/548/EEC
Conclusions:
The test item 4-vinylcyclohexene showed a irritant effect on the skin of male and female rabbits under the conditions of the study. .Classification: irritating
Executive summary:

To test the acute skin irritant effect the test item 4 -vinylcyclohex-1-ene was applied to the shaven dorsal skin of rabbits. The product was administered undiluted and the time of exposure in the patch test was 4 hours. The treated rabbits showed induration and dryness (day 6) of treated skin, cracked  skin (days 8-10), and formation (days 8-10) and  subsequent detachment of  eschar. According to the study, the test item 4-vinylcyclohexene showed a irritant effect on the skin of male and female rabbits.
