Test animals

Species:
rabbit
Strain:
New Zealand White
Details on test animals or test system and environmental conditions:
The animals were male rabbits, new zealand white. They weighed between 3 and 4 kg and were kept in separate cages at a temperature between 19 and 25oC and a relative humidity between 40 and 60%. The day/night rhytm was 12/12 hours. The animals were fed with a standard diet and were allowed to drink tap water ad libitum.

Test system

Type of coverage:
semiocclusive
Preparation of test site:
shaved
Vehicle:
unchanged (no vehicle)
Controls:
other: Two patches were shaved, one served as a control.
Amount / concentration applied:
TEST MATERIAL
- Amount(s) applied (volume or weight with unit): 500 mg


Duration of treatment / exposure:
4 hours
Observation period:
7 days
Number of animals:
3
Details on study design:
The study was carried out according to guideline 404. The skin of three male white rabbits was exposed to 500 mg Bayferrox VP AC 5122. This was applied semi-occlusive to a patch of shaved skin. A second patch of shaved skin was used as a control. Exposure was for 4 hours and after exposure the skin was rinsed with water.

Conclusions:
Bayferrox VP AC 5122 M-Investigation of its primary irritation/corrosion on the rabbit skin. The test material is not irritating.
Executive summary:

In a primary dermal irritation study 3 New Zealand white rabbits were dermally exposed to 500 mg of Bayferrox VP AC 5122 M (Fe2O3 83.5 %, FeO 12%, Co 4.5%) in water for 4 hours. Animals then were observed for 7 days. The study was performed according to the OECD Guidelines 404 for acute dermal irritation/corrosion. Bayferrox VP AC 5122 M (Fe2O3 83.5 %, FeO 12%, Co 4.5%) did not cause dermal irritation.
