- Age at study initiation: 3-5 mounths
- Weight at study initiation: 3.4-3.7 kg
- Diet: ad libitum
- Water: ad libitum
- Acclimation period: 1 week under study conditions

ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS
- Temperature: 20 +/3 3 °C
- Humidity: 50-/- 20%
- Photoperiod: 12 hrs dark / 12 hrs light per day

Test system

Type of coverage:
semiocclusive
Preparation of test site:
shaved
Vehicle:
physiological saline
Remarks:
(0.3 mL per animal)
Controls:
no
Amount / concentration applied:
0.5 g
Duration of treatment / exposure:
4 hours
Observation period:
7 days
Number of animals:
3
Details on study design:
TEST SITE

- Area of exposure: 2.5 X 2.5 cm
- Type of wrap if used: cellulose patch on a piece of surgical plaster

REMOVAL OF TEST SUBSTANCE
- Washing : warm tap water
- Time after start of exposure: immedialely after the 4-hour exposure period

SCORING SYSTEM: Draize

Reading:
30-60 min as well as 24,48 and 72 hours after removal of the patches. Because of the persistent irritations in two animals 72 hours after removal of the patches, additional readings were performed after 7 days.
