- Type of wrap if used: The test substance has been covered with a test patch (Idealbinde, Pfälzische Verbandstoff-Fabrik, D-W6750 Kaiserslautern)
and Fixomull® Stretch (adhesive fleece), Beiersdorf AG
.


REMOVAL OF TEST SUBSTANCE
- Washing (if done): with Lutrol and Lutrol/ water (1 : 1)
- Time after start of exposure: 4 h


SCORING SYSTEM:
According to OECD Guideline 404 (adopted May 12, 1981) and EEC L 251, B.4. (Sept. 19, 1984):

Erythema and esshar formation:
0 = No erythema
1 = Very slight erythema (barely perceptible)
2 = Well defined erythema
3 = Moderate to severe erythema
4 = Severe erythema (beet redness) to eschar formation preventing grading of erythema

Edema formatlon:
0 = No edema
1 = Very slight edema (barely perceptible)
2 = Slight edema (edges of area well defined by definite raising)
3 = Moderate edema (raised approx. 1 mm)
4 = Severe edema (raised more than 1 mm and extending beyond area of exposure)
