RANGE FINDING TEST
In order to select suitable concentrations of test item in vehicle for the main study, a preliminary patch test was done with 2 animals. Skin reaction was assessed according to the Magnusson/Kligman grading scale.

MAIN STUDY
A. INDUCTION EXPOSURE
- No. of exposures: 3 (day 0, day 7 and day 14)
- Exposure period: 6 hours
- Test group: treated with 0.5 mL of test item in vehicle
- Control group: vehicle only
- Site: 4 x 6 cm skin area on the left flank, clipped free of hair
- Frequency of applications: at 7 day-intervals
- Duration: day 0 to day 14
- Concentrations: 60% test item in vehicle

B. CHALLENGE EXPOSURE
- No. of exposures: one
- Day(s) of challenge: challenge was done after 4 weeks following the first induction
- Exposure period: 6 hours
- Test groups: treated with 0.5 mL of test item in vehicle
- Control group: treated with 0.5 mL of test item in vehicle
- Site: 4 x 6 cm skin area on the right, clipped free of hair
- Concentrations: 50%
- Evaluation (hr after challenge): 24 and 48 h

READING
Skin reaction was assessed according to the Magnusson/Kligman grading scale.

FURTHER EXAMINATIONS
The animals were observed for clinical signs and reactions to treatment. They were weighed at day 0 and at the end of of the study period, i.e. on day 33.
Positive control substance(s):
yes
Remarks:
positive control test with the reference material alpha-hexylcinnamaldehyde (purity 85%) was performed from Sept to Oct 2012. 13/20 treated animals showed positive reactions, corresponding to 65%.
