other: see 'Remark'
Remarks:
Study conducted in accordance with generally accepted scientific principles, but incomplete reporting on results and discussion, which do not affect the quality of the relevant results. With the exception of the contact period, and testing on abraded skin, the guideline used shares the same basic principles as the OECD guideline 404. The use of an occlusive patch, a longer contact time (24 hours instead of 4) and abrading the skin would produce a result bias towards irritation and as such represents a worst case. As no irritation was induced during the study, the results are considered to be a true and accurate reflection of the effects of the test substance.

Test animals

Species:
rabbit
Strain:
New Zealand White
Details on test animals or test system and environmental conditions:
TEST ANIMALS- Weight at study initiation: 2-2.5 kg- Housing: in accordance with standard laboratory procedure- Diet (e.g. ad libitum): in accordance with standard laboratory procedure- Water (e.g. ad libitum): ad libitum

Test system

Type of coverage:
occlusive
Preparation of test site:
other: Shaved, abraded and non-abraded sites were used
Vehicle:
not specified
Controls:
no
Amount / concentration applied:
TEST SUBSTANCE- Amount applied: 0.5 mLThe test substance was applied to abraded and non-abraded skin at 4 sites (2 abraded, 2 non-abraded). The abrasions were minor incisions through the stratum corneum, but not sufficient deep to disturb the derma (not to produce bleeding).
Duration of treatment / exposure:
24 hours
Observation period:
Readings were made at 24, 48 and 72 hours after the prescribed exposure period.
Number of animals:
6
Details on study design:
TEST SITE- Area of exposure: 1 inch patch- Type of wrap if used: The patches were secured in place with adhesive tape. The entire trunk of the animal was wrapped with rubberized cloth the entire 24-hour period of exposure. The animals are immobilised in an animal holder.SCORING SYSTEM:Evaluation of the skin reaction for erythema and edema was scored in line with the method followed.
