Test system

Type of coverage:
semiocclusive
Preparation of test site:
other: clipped
Vehicle:
water
Controls:
not specified
Amount / concentration applied:
TEST MATERIAL
- Amount(s) applied (volume or weight with unit): 0.5 g
- Concentration (if solution): 0.5 g / 0.5 ml distilled water
Duration of treatment / exposure:
4 hour(s)
Observation period:
72 h
Number of animals:
6
Details on study design:
TEST SITE
- Area of exposure: approximately 6 cm2 of skin clipped free of hair, either dorsal or lateral on the rabbit

- Type of wrap if used: the test site was immediately after application covered with a 2-7/8x4-1/2 in adhesive-backed gauze patch which was loosely held in contact with the skin by use of a semi-occlusive elastic cloth overwrap.

REMOVAL OF TEST SUBSTANCE
- Washing (if done): gently wiped clean of any residual test substance
- Time after start of exposure: 4 h

SCORING SYSTEM:
According to the Draize scoring system.
The average erythema and oedema scores for the 1, 24, 48 and 72 hrs scoring intervals were added. The resultant value was divided by the number of evaluation intervals (4).
- Examination time points: Skin sites were evaluated at approximately 30 - 60 minutes, 24, 48 and 72 hrs after patch removal and scored.
