Relative humidity: 40-60 %
Light period: 12 h light/12 h dark

Test system

Type of coverage:
semiocclusive
Preparation of test site:
shaved
Vehicle:
water
Controls:
yes
Amount / concentration applied:
0.5 g of test substance paste
Duration of treatment / exposure:
4 h, after which the test sites were washed
Observation period:
72 h; the skin was checked for irritation (erythema, eschar, oedema) and corrosion (ulcerations, necrosis, scarring) after 24, 48 and 72 h
Number of animals:
3
Details on study design:
Approximately 24 h before the test, the fur was shaved from the dorso-lateral area of the trunk (6 × 6 cm). 500 mg of the pulverized test substance were moistened with water and subsequently applied to a hypoallergenic patch (2.5 × 2.5 cm). Patches were held in place with semi-occlusive dressing for 4 h.

Executive summary:

Method

Study conducted according to OECD guideline 404 and EU method B.4, using female New Zealand White rabbits exposed for 4 h to 0.5 g of test substance (paste with water).

Test site was shaved and the type of coverage applied was semi-occlusive. After 4 h, the skin was washed with water. Skin sites were checked for irritation (Draize scores - erythema, eschar, oedema) and corrosion (ulcerations, necrosis, scarring) after 24, 48 and 72 h.

Results

No signs of skin irritation or corrosion were observed during the study. Test substance was not irritant to rabbit skin.
