- Weight at study initiation: 200 - 300 g
- Housing: individually during the 24-h exposure period and in groups of five per sex in suspended solid-floor polypropylene cages on woodflakes, environmental enrichment items were provided
- Diet: certified Rat and Mouse Diet, Code 5LF2 (BCM IPS Limited, London, UK), ad libitum
- Water: mains drinking water, ad libitum
- Acclimation period: at least 5 days

ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS

- Photoperiod (hrs dark / hrs light): 12/12

Administration / exposure

Type of coverage:
semiocclusive
Vehicle:
unchanged (no vehicle)
Remarks:
moistened with distilled water
Details on dermal exposure:
TEST SITE
- Area of exposure: clipped skin of the back and flanks
- % coverage: 10%
- Type of wrap if used: The treated skin was covered with a surgical gauze which was held in place with a piece of self-adhesive bandage.

REMOVAL OF TEST SUBSTANCE
- Washing: Treated skin and surrounding hair was wiped with cotton wool moistened with distilled water.
- Time after start of exposure: 24 h

TEST MATERIAL
- Amount applied: 2000 mg/kg bw
Duration of exposure:
24 h
Doses:
2000 mg/kg bw
No. of animals per sex per dose:
5
Control animals:
not required
Details on study design:
- Duration of observation period following administration: 14 days
Frequency of observations and weighing: Animals were observed 0.5, 1, 2 and 4 h after dosing and subsequently once daily for 14 days. Individual body weights were recorded prior to application of the test substance on Day 0 and on Days 7 and 14.
- Necropsy of survivors performed: yes
- Other examinations performed: Evidence of overt toxicity was recorded at each observation. After removal of the dressings and subsequently once daily for fourteen days, the test sites were examined for evidence of primary irritation and scored according to Draize.
