Materials and methods

Principles of method if other than guideline:
500 mg of the test substance were semi-occlusively applied once to the intact skin onto the inside of the ear of one male and one female young adult New Zealand White rabbit (3-4 kg) for an exposure period of 24 hours. Evaluation of skin irritation was made until day 7 according to Draize et al. (J.Pharmacol. Exp. Ther. 82, 377-390 (1944).
