Principles of method if other than guideline:

Dermal Irritation.

A group of albino New Zealand rabbits were used in this study. The test method was essentially that of Draize et .al.
Briefly paraphrased, it consisted of application of 0.5 ml (0.5 g) of the test material to clipped areas of intact and abraded skin. The abrasions were longitudinal epidermal incisions sufficiently deep to penetrate the stratum corneum, but not to deep as to destroy the integrity of the derma.
Applications were made under occiusive patches (2" x 2" gauze, covered by adhesive tape). Following application of the test material the entire trunk of each animal was covered with an impermeable occlusive wrapping. The availability of the test site to the animal is restricted by use of Elizabethan collars. The wrapping and test material were removed 24 hours following application. The sites were individually examined and scored separately for erythema and edema at 24 and 72 hours. The mean scores for 24 and 72 hour grading were averaged to determine final irritation indices.

Dermal Corrosion

A group of six (6) albino New Zealand rabbits in a weight range of 1.8 - 2.4 kg, were used in this study. The est method was essentially that of Draize et.al. Briefly paraphrased, it consisted of application of 0.5 ml (0.5 g) of the test material to clipped areas of intact skin. Applications were made under occlusive patches (2" x 2 gauze, covered by adhesive tape). Following application of the test material the entire trunk of each animal was covered with an impermeable occlusive wrapping. The animals were then immobilized.
The wrapping and test material were removed 4 hours following application. The sites were individually examined and scored separately for erythema and edema at 4 and 48 hours. The mean scores for 4 and 48 hour gradings were averaged to determine final irritation indices.
Corrosiveness seen at four and/or 48 hours alone indicates a corrosive material. Tissue destruction (corrosiveness) does not include merely sloughing of the epidermis, or erythema, edema or fissuring.

Details on study design:

Primary Dermal Irritation: A group of albino New Zealand rabbits as indicated in the summary were used in this study. The tfst method was essentially that of Draize et .al. Briefly paraphrased, it consisted of application of 0.5 ml (0.5 g) of the test material to clipped areas of intact and abraded skin. The abrasions were longitudinal epidermal incisions sufficiently deep to penetrate the stratum corneum, but not so deep as to destroy the integrity of the derma. Applications were made under occlusive patches (2" x 2" gauze, covered by adhesive tape). Following application of the test material the entire trunk of each animal was covered with an impermeable occlusive wrapping. The availability of the test site to the animal is restricted by use of everted Elizabethan collars. The wrapping and test material were removed 24 hours following application. The sites were individually examined and scored separately for erythema and edema at 24 and 72 hours. The mean scores for 24 and 72 hour grading were averaged to determine final irritation indices.
