Test system

Type of coverage:
semiocclusive
Preparation of test site:
shaved
Vehicle:
unchanged (no vehicle)
Controls:
other: untreated skin sites of the treated animals
Amount / concentration applied:

TEST MATERIAL
- Amount(s) applied (volume or weight with unit): 0.5 ml
- Concentration (if solution): 100%
The test substance was heated at about 30 deg C to become liquid
Duration of treatment / exposure:
4 h
Observation period:
72 hours
Number of animals:
3
Details on study design:
APPLICATION:
- Area of exposure: test patch 2.5 x 2.5 cm
- The test patch was moistened with a dose of 0.5 ml unchanged, at about 30 deg C heated test substance, and then the test patch was applied to the intact skin. The test patch was secured in position with a semiocclusive dressing.

REMOVAL OF TEST SUBSTANCE
- At the end of the exposure period with Lutrol and Lutrol/water (1/1).

READINGS
- 1, 24, 48 and 72 hours after removal of the patch

SCORING SYSTEM:
Erythema and edema were graded according to the Draize-system as stated in OECD guideline 404
