Applicant's summary and conclusion

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.
