Details on study design:
RANGE FINDING TESTS:
- The concentrations of 1, 2, 4, 6, 12.5, 25 and 50% were applied to determine concentrations of the test substance suitable for induction of sensitization and for sensitization challenge.

MAIN STUDY
A. INDUCTION EXPOSURE
- No. of exposures: 3
- Exposure period: 6 h
- Test groups: test substance in 0.9% sodium chloride
- Control group: 0.9% sodium chloride
- Site: left flank
- Frequency of applications: every 7 days
- Duration: days 0-14
- Concentration: 4%

B. CHALLENGE EXPOSURE
- No. of exposures: 1
- Day of challenge: 28 (14 days after 3rd induction treatment)
- Exposure period: 6 h
- Test groups: test substance in 0.9% sodium chloride
- Control group: 0.9% sodium chloride
- Site: bilateral to sheared flanks (caudal and medial position)
- Concentrations: 2%
- Evaluation: 24 and 48 h after patch removal
Challenge controls:
The control group is actually a challenge control. Animals were challenged on the flank treated during induction and on the other flank as challenge control.
Positive control substance(s):
not specified

*Left flank was used for induction treatment

(Number of animals with skin reaction/total number of animals)

MORTALITY/BODY WEIGHT:

No mortality occured. There was no significant difference in body weight gain between the treatment and the control group.       

After the third induction treatment, all animals treated with the vehicle did not show any sign of skin irritation. 5 animals treated with the test item showed only weak effects after 1 h, whereas 8 animals showed weak and one animal moderate skin reactions after 24 h.
