Test guideline
Qualifier:
equivalent or similar to guideline
Guideline:
OECD Guideline 404 (Acute Dermal Irritation / Corrosion)
Principles of method if other than guideline:
BASF-Test: Two animals were treated for 1, 5 and 15 min using occlusive conditions. An application site of 2.5x2.5 cm was covered with the liquid test substance. After the application time (1, 5, 15 min) the skin was washed with Lutrol (50%). The animals were observed for 14 days and skin changes were recorded daily.
GLP compliance:
no

Irritant / corrosive response data:
The test substance, undiluted or as a 30% preparation and applied for 1, 5 or 15 minutes, produced inflammatory erythema followed by desquamation. After application for 15 minutes, slight edema and scaling was observed, additionally. The skin was normal at 14 days after application.

The original BASF grading was converted into the numerical grading according the OECD Draize system.

The test substance, undiluted or as a 30% preparation and applied for 1, 5 or 15 minutes, produced inflammatory erythema followed by desquamation. After application for 15 minutes, slight edema and scaling was observed, additionally. The skin was normal at 14 days after application.
