Test animals

Species:
rabbit
Strain:
Vienna White
Details on test animals or test system and environmental conditions:
TEST ANIMALS
- Source: White Vienna animals from Gaukler; D-6050 Offenbach/Main, FRG
- Age at study initiation: young adult animals
- Weight at study initiation: mean bw of 2.71 kg for males (2) and 2.51 kg for female (1)
- Housing: one animal per cage in cages made of stainless steel with wire mesh walk floors (floor area : 40 cm x 51 cm)
- Diet (e.g. ad libitum): Kliba 341, 4 MM; from Klingentalmuehle AG, CH-4303 Kaiseraugst, Switzerland (about 130 g per animal per day)
- Water (e.g. ad libitum): about 250 ml tap water per animal per day
- Acclimation period: at least 8 days before the beginning of the study

ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS
The animals were housed in fully air-conditioned rooms. Central air-conditioning guaranteed a temperature range and a relative humidity. There were no deviations from these ranges which influenced the results of the study.
- Temperature (°C): 20 - 24
- Humidity (%): 30 - 70
- Photoperiod (hrs dark / hrs light): 12/12

Test system

Type of coverage:
semiocclusive
Preparation of test site:
shaved
Vehicle:
unchanged (no vehicle)
Controls:
other: untreated skin site of the same animals
Amount / concentration applied:
TEST MATERIAL
- Amount(s) applied (volume or weight with unit): 0.5 ml
Duration of treatment / exposure:
4 hour(s)
Observation period:
72 hours (all irritation effects were reversible within 48 hours)
Number of animals:
3
Details on study design:
TEST SITE
- Area of exposure: upper third of the back or flanks; the fur was clipped at least 15 hours before the beginning of the study
- % coverage: . application site of 2.5 x 2.5 cm was covered with the 0.5 ml (526 mg) test substance
- Type of wrap if used: semiocclusive patch

REMOVAL OF TEST SUBSTANCE
- Washing (if done): yes, with lutrol and lutrol/water 1:1
- Time after start of exposure: at the end of exposure period (4 hours)

SCORING SYSTEM: OECD scoring system
Readings: 30 - 60 min, and 24, 48, or 72 hours after removal of test patches
