Test animals
- Species:
- rabbit
- Strain:
- New Zealand White
- Details on test animals or test system and environmental conditions:
- TEST ANIMALS- Source: Manfred Bauer Kaninchen, Lohe 7/1, 74632 Neuenstein, Germany- Age at study initiation: approximately 4.5 - 5.5 months- Weight at study initiation: 3.9 - 4.3 kg- Housing: before and after the 4-hour exposure period, the animals were kept singly in cages measuring 380 mm x 425 mm x 600 mm (manufacturer: Dipl. Ing. W. EHRET GmbH, 16352 Schönwalde, Germany). During the exposure period, the animals were kept singly in restrainers which allowed free movement of the head but prevented a complete body turn. The cages excluded irritation of the skin by excrements and urine.- Diet (ad libitum before and after the exposure period): commercial diet, ssniff® K-H V2333 (ssniff Spezialdiäten GmbH, 59494 Soest, Germany)- Water (ad libitum before and after the exposure period): drinking water - Acclimation period: at least 20 adaptation daysENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS- Temperature: 20°C ± 3°C (maximum range) - Humidity: 30% - 70% (maximum range, the aim was 50% - 60%)- Photoperiod (hrs dark / hrs light): 12/12
Test system
- Type of coverage:
- semiocclusive
- Preparation of test site:
- clipped
- Vehicle:
- unchanged (no vehicle)
- Controls:
- no
- Amount / concentration applied:
- TEST MATERIAL- Amount(s) applied (volume or weight with unit): a dose of 500 mg of the test item was applied to the test site (area: approx. 6 cm²).
- Duration of treatment / exposure:
- 4 hours
- Observation period:
- 60 minutes, 24, 48 and 72 hours after the 4-hour exposure period
- Number of animals:
- 3 male rabbits
- Details on study design:
- TEST SITE- Area of exposure: approximately 24 hours before the test, the fur was removed by closely clipping the dorsal area of the trunk of the animals. Care was taken to avoid abrading the skin. Only animals with healthy intact skin were used.The test item was applied to the test site and then covered with a gauze patch. The patch was held in contact with the skin with non-irritating tape for the duration of the exposure period. The surrounding untreated skin served as a control. INITIAL TEST AND CONFIRMATORY TEST- Initial test using one animal:Three test patches were applied sequentially to the animal. The first patch was removed after three minutes. As no serious skin reaction was observed, a second patch was applied at a different site and removed after one hour. No skin reactions were observed, neither. So a third patch was applied and removed after 4 hours.- Confirmatory test:As no skin reactions were observed after a four-hour exposure, the test was completed using two additional animals, each with one patch only, for an exposure period of 4 hours.SCORING SYSTEM: according to the Draize scale
