Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
In an acute dermal irritation study 0.5 mL cyclooctene were applied to the shaved skin of a group of three male and three female rabbits for 4 hours. Based on the results the substance is classified as not irritating to the skin according to present European legislation.
Executive summary:

In an acute dermal irritation study 0.5 mL cyclooctene were applied to the shaved skin of a group of three male and three female rabbits for 4 hours. No oedema were observed. Very slight to well defined erythema was noted and the average score (24 -72h) was 1.11. In five animals induration and eschar formation was noted. Eschar began to detach from day 10 and all animals were free of signs of toxicity at 20 days after application.
