Skin irritation / corrosion
Administrative data
- Endpoint:
- skin irritation: in vivo
- Type of information:
- experimental study
- Adequacy of study:
- key study
- Study period:
- 1968
- Reliability:

One animal (animal 4) received dorsal application of test substance for 20 hours, and a 20 hour application on the ear; - Details on study design:
- Skin irritation was tested using an internal method (BASF test). The test substance was applied unchanged on the backs of 2 animals for 1, 5 and 15 minutes. The application sites were rinsed with Lutrol and Lutrol in water 1:1. The test substance was also applied for 20 hours on the back of two other animals, without rinsing. Each animals further received a 20 hour application on the ear, without rinsing.
The animals were observed for 8 days and skin changes were recorded. Scoring was perfomed at following time points: 24h, 48h, 72h, day 6, and day 8
