Day 1 : Intradermal induction exposure (Injection). The injection sites were not covered.    
1-7: The application area was investigated.    
9  : Dermal induction exposure. 0.5ml of the test substance preparation were applied to a cellulose patch of 2x4 cm. This patch covered the area of the intradermal injection sites. An occlusive dressing with impermeable foil and an elastic bandage sealed the application site for 48 hours.    
11 : Removal of the occlusive dressing. Recording of the irritation.    
22 : Dermal challenge exposure 0.5ml of test substance preparation were applied to a cellulose patch and placed onto the clipped skin of the flank. An occlusive dressing with impermeable foil and an elastic bandage sealed the application site for 24 hours.    
23 : Removal of the occlusive dressing   
24-25: Assessment of the skin

Any other information on results incl. tables

1)The treated animals did not show any signs of toxicity throughout the study period.
2)Induction: Very slight to slight edema were observed in the treatment group.
3)Challenge: 24 and 48 hours after removal of the occlusive dressing, a total of 2 animals (in 20) of the treatment group showed very slight, hardly perceptible erythema.

Ten percent of the animal s of treatment group demonstrated a positive reaction after the challenge exposure (the criteria: the limit value of 30 percent).
