Details on test animals or test system and environmental conditions:
TEST ANIMALS
- Weight at study initiation: 2.4 - 2.8 kg
- Housing: Animals were housed individually in PPL cages (45 cm x 55 cm) with perforated floor.
- Diet: Altromin 2123, pelleted complete rabbit diet (Chr. Petersen, Ringsted, Denmark), ad libitum
- Water: fresh water, ad libitum
- Acclimation period: one week

ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS
- Temperature (°C): 21 ± 2
- Humidity (%): 55 ± 15
- Air changes (per hr): 6
- Photoperiod (hrs dark / hrs light): 12/12

Test system

Type of coverage:
semiocclusive
Preparation of test site:
clipped
Vehicle:
other: diethyl phthalate
Controls:
other: adjacent areas of skin treated with vehicle served as control
Amount / concentration applied:
TEST MATERIAL
- Amount(s) applied: 0.5 mL
- Concentration: 1, 5, 25 and 100%
Duration of treatment / exposure:
4 h
Observation period:
72 h; Since all observed effects had completely reversed at the 48-h reading, the study was discontinued after the 72 h reading.
Reading time points: 30 min and 24, 48 and 72 h
Number of animals:
4
Details on study design:
TEST SITE
- Area of exposure: area on the back (10 cm x 10 cm) divided into two anterior and two posterior treatment sites and one test site at the center.
- Type of wrap: The test substance of one of the test concentrations or the vehicle was applied to the skin and covered with gauze packs (2.5 cm x 2.5 cm). The gauze packs were secured with a cross of 1 cm wide adhesive tape and fixed with Scanpor tape (7.5 cm width).

REMOVAL OF TEST SUBSTANCE
- Washing: The skin was cleaned of residual test substance with soap and lukewarm water.
- Time after start of exposure: 4 h
