Other effects:
After 4 h of exposure, the mean erythema score for all animals over 24, 48, and 72 h was 3.1, with one animal showing the max. score of 4. The effect was fully reversible in two animals within 7 and 9 days, respectively, whereas in the third animal the erythema score of 4 persisted until study termination. The mean oedema score after 4 h of treatment was 2.2, with a max. score of 4 in one animal after 24 h. Oedema were fully reversible within 7, 8, and 13 days, respectively. After 1 h of exposure, the mean erythema and oedema scores of all three animals over 24, 48, and 72 h were 2.7 and 2.0, respectively, with erythema scores never exceeding a score of 3 and oedema never exceeding a score of 2 in any of the animals. On day 10 following exposure none of the animals showed any skin reactions on this test site. Exposure to the test item for 3 min revealed mean erythema and oedema scores of 1.4 and 0.4, respectively, whereas erythema never exceeded a score of 2 and oedema never exceeded a score of 1. On day 8 of the observation period neither erythema nor oedema were observed in any of the animals at this test site. As other skin reactions scaling was observed in 2/3, 3/3, and 2/3 animals after 4 h, 1 h, and 3 min of exposure, respectively. Echar formation was observed only in 1/3 animals after 4 h of treatment, but in none animal after 1 h and 3 min of exposure. There were no findings in any of the animals at any test site suggesting corrosiveness of the test item. No skin reactions were observed in any animal on the control site.
There were no abnormalities in the general condition and the body weight development of any animal during the observation period.
