Details on study design:
PRE-STUDY:
Following test substance concentrations were determined within a üre-study:
- The concentration at which the test substance provokes a weak to moderate irritation by intradermal route and by topical application under occlusive patch-test for 48 hours on a cutanous area of 8 cm2.
- The concentration at which this test substance produces no pathological cutaneousreaction by topical application under occlusive patch-test for 24 hours an a surface of 4 cm2.

MAIN STUDY
A. INDUCTION EXPOSURE
- No. of exposures: 2 (intradermal and epicutaneous)
- Exposure period: single injection (intradermal), 48 hours (epicutaneous)
- Test groups:
Intradermal - 2x 0.1 mL injections; 1) test substance (0.05 % (v/v)) diluted in liquid paraffin; 2) 50/50 (v/v) mixing of test substance (0.1 % (v/v)) in liquid paraffin with Freund complete adjuvant (at 50 % (v/v))
Epicutaneous: 10% test substance in vehicle (liquid paraffin)
- Control group:
Intradermal - 2x 0.1 mL injections; 1) liquid paraffin; 2) 50/50 (v/v) mixing of liquid paraffin with Freund complete adjuvant (at 50 % (v/v))
Epicutaneous: vehicle (liquid paraffin)
- Site: scapular region on each side of the spine
- Frequency of applications: once
- Duration: 0-7 days
- Concentrations: intradermal 0.05 %, epicutaneous, 10 %

B. CHALLENGE EXPOSURE
- No. of exposures: one
- Day(s) of challenge: day 21
- Exposure period: 24 hours
- Test groups/control group: test substance in vehicle
- Site: on the left and right flanks, a region that has never been treated before
- Concentrations: 2.5 %
- Evaluation (hr after challenge): 1, 6, 24 and 48 hours
- The intensity of erythematous and oedematous reactions is scored according to the following scale :
No reaction-0
Slight erythema (hardly visible)-1
Moderate erythema (well visible)-2
Severe erythema with oedema-3
Any other anomalies are also noted, e.g. vesicles, thickening or skin dryness.
- skin samples for histopathological evaluation were taken from animals with scores 1-3.
Positive control substance(s):
yes
Remarks:
data obtained in the testing facilities in 1982 with reference substances, were listed as appendix in the study report.
