TEST ANIMALS
- Source: DIMEO Schonwalde GmbH, Schonwalde, Germany and stock Chbb:HM from Charles River Deutschland GmbH, Kisslegg, Germany
- Housing: during a pre-period of at least one week and throughout the experiment the rabbits were caged individually in PPO cages (floor area: 2576 cm²) with perforated floor.
- Diet: pelleted complete rabbit diet "Altromin 2123", ad libitum.
- Water: domestic quality drinking water acidified with hydrochloric acid to pH 2.5 in order to prevent microbial growth, ad libitum

- Air changes (per hr): 10
- Photoperiod (hrs dark / hrs light): 12/12

Test system

Type of coverage:
semiocclusive
Preparation of test site:
shaved
Vehicle:
unchanged (no vehicle)
Controls:
other: not required, untreated sites of the same animal served as control
Amount / concentration applied:
TEST MATERIAL
- Amount(s) applied (volume or weight with unit): 0.5 mg
Duration of treatment / exposure:
Initial test: 3 min, 1 and 4 h
Confirmatory test: 4 h
Observation period:
21 days
Reading time points: 1, 24, 48 and 72 h and 7, 14 and 21 days

Irritant / corrosive response data:
Immediately after application, the animal used in the preliminary test showed a well defined erythema. 1, 24, 48 and 72 h after application, well defined to moderate to severe erythema were observed in all animals (see Table 1 + 2 under “Any other information on results incl. tables”).
24, 48 and 72 h after application: slight to moderate oedema were observed in all animals. After 1 h slight oedema was observed in one animal.
7 days after application: isolated scales were observed on the anterior left test field of one animal and thick, brown scales on the middle left test field and a thick, brown crust of scales on the whole posterior left test field. The remaining two animals showed large, white scales on the whole anterior left test fields.
14 days after application: scales were observed in two animals whereas no skin reactions were observed for the third animal.
21 days after application: one animal still showed isolated scales.

Other effects:
No further local or systemic effects were observed.
