Materials and methods

Principles of method if other than guideline:
0.01 ml of undiluted tripropylene glycol was applied to clipped uncovered intact skin of 5 rabbit bellies. Results were scored after 24 hours using a 10 grades system (no injury from undiluted substance = grade 1).
GLP compliance:
no
