Materials and methods

Test guideline
Qualifier:
according to guideline
Guideline:
OECD Guideline 406 (Skin Sensitisation)
Deviations:
no
GLP compliance:
no
Type of study:
guinea pig maximisation test
Justification for non-LLNA method:
A skin sensitization test according to OECD 406 has already excisted since 1990 and is sufficient for evaluation of the skin sensitisation potential of the test substance.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
not sensitising
Remarks:
Migrated information
Conclusions:
Under the conditions of this guinea pig maximization test, the test item 1,5 -Cyclooctadien showed no dermal sensitization in
male guinea pigs.
Executive summary:

In a guinea pig maximization test according to OECD 406 performed with the test item 1,5 -cyclooctadiene, after intracutane and epidermal inductions and 24 hours as well as 48 hours after epidermal challenge, no one of the 20 animals examined in this study showed positive response regarding dermal sensitization.

Under the conditions of this guinea pig maximization test, the test item 1,5 -cyclooctadien showed no dermal sensitization in male guinea pigs.
