Administrative data

Endpoint:
skin irritation: in vivo
Type of information:
experimental study
Adequacy of study:
key study
Study period:
1996-11-26 to 1996-11-29
Reliability:
2 (reliable with restrictions)
Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
guideline study with acceptable restrictions
Remarks:
Guideline study reliable with restrictions Minor deviations from the guideline with no effect on the results: - The purity and the stability of the test material was missing in the study report. - According to the guideline, fur should be removed from the dorsal area of the trunk. In this study the fur was removed from the dorsal flank area. - According to the guideline, the individual weights of animals at the conclusion of the test should be stated. This information was missing in the study report.

Details on test animals or test system and environmental conditions:
TEST ANIMALS
- Source: David Percival Ltd., Moston, Sandbach, Cheshire, UK
- Age at study initiation: twelve to sixteen weeks old
- Weight at study initiation: 2.85 to 3.16 kg
- Housing: The animals were individually housed in suspended metal cages.
- Diet (ad libitum): STANRAB SQC Rabbit Diet, Special Diets Services Ltd., Witham, Essex, UK
- Water (ad libitum): Mains drinking water
- Acclimation period: Minimum acclimatisation period of five days

ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS

No further information on the test animals was stated.

Test system

Type of coverage:
semiocclusive
Preparation of test site:
shaved
Vehicle:
water
Controls:
no
Amount / concentration applied:
TEST MATERIAL
- Amount(s) applied (volume or weight with unit): A quanity of 0.5 g of the test material, moistened with 0.5 ml of distilled water.
No further information on the amount/concentrations applied was stated.
Duration of treatment / exposure:
4 hour
Observation period:
Approximately one hour following the removal of the patches, and 24, 48 and 72 hours later, the test sites were examined for evidence of primary irritation.
Number of animals:
3 male rabbits
Details on study design:
TEST SITE
- Area of exposure: On the day before the test each rabbit was clipped free of fur from the dorsal flank area using veterinary cippers.On the day of the test a suitable test site was selected on the back of each rabbit.
- Type of wrap if used: The test material moistened with water, was introduced under a 2.5 cm X 2.5 cm cotton gauze patch and placed in position on the shorn skin. The patch was secured in position with a strip of surgical adhesive tape (BLENDERM: approximately size 2.5 cm X 4.0 cm). To prevent the animals interfering with the patches, the trunk of each rabbit was wrapped in an elasticated corset (TUBIGRIP) and the animals were returned to their cages for the duration of the exposure period.

REMOVAL OF TEST SUBSTANCE
- Washing (if done): Four hours after application the corset and pathces were removed from each animal and any residual test material removed by gentle swabbing with cotton wool soaked in distilled water.

SCORING SYSTEM: Draize scoring system
Any other skin reactions, if present, were also recorded.
No further information on the study design was stated.
