ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS
according to guideline

Administration / exposure

Type of coverage:
semiocclusive
Vehicle:
unchanged (no vehicle)
Details on dermal exposure:
TEST SITE
- Area of exposure: 10% of the total body surface (one day before treatment, the backs of the animals were clipped with an electric clipper; re-shaved on test days 6, 9 and 13)
- % coverage: semi-occlusive dressing was wrapped around the abdomen and fixed with an elastic adhesive bandage


REMOVAL OF TEST SUBSTANCE
