Test system

Type of coverage:
semiocclusive
Preparation of test site:
clipped
Remarks:
at least the day before application back and flanks of rabbits were carefully clipped. Only animals with intact skin were included.
Vehicle:
unchanged (no vehicle)
Controls:
not required
Amount / concentration applied:
TEST MATERIAL
- Amount(s) applied (volume or weight with unit): 0.5 mL per animal
- Concentration (if solution): pure, considered 100% for this study

NEGATIVE CONTROL: none

POSITIVE CONTROL: none
Duration of treatment / exposure:
4 hours
Observation period:
7 days, up to full recovery
Number of animals:
6
Details on study design:
TEST SITE
- Area of exposure: 6 cm²
- % coverage:
- Type of wrap if used: Codex hydrophilic eight layer gauze pad (approx 2.5 cm x 2.5 cm) maintained in contact with the skin with a perforated tape. The tape was applied on a crimped gaze bandage to fully cover the clipped area, wrapped around the animal.

REMOVAL OF TEST SUBSTANCE
Excess test article was wiped away with a gauze pad moistened with water.
- Time after start of exposure: 4 h

OBSERVATION TIME POINTS
Morbidity: twice daily
Body weighing: on the day of dosing
Time of cutaneus readings: 1, 24, 48, 72 h, and 7days after removal of bandage.

SCORING SYSTEM:
- Method of calculation: Erythema (max. 4) and Edema (max. 4) scores as published in OECD guideline 404 (1992).
