Irritant / corrosive response data:
No skin irritation was observed throughout the study.
Other effects:
- no mortality was observed.
- no clinical signs were observed during the observation period.
- behaviour was calm and alert. It did not differ from rabbits, which were not involved in the study.
- rabbits gained body weight throughout the observation period, except for one male rabbits which lost weight on observation day 1. Afterwards, the male rabbit also gained throught the observation period.
