Inductionopen allclose all
Route:
epicutaneous, occlusive
Vehicle:
water
Concentration / amount:
1st application: Induction 40 % occlusive epicutaneous
2nd application: Induction 40 % occlusive epicutaneous
3rd application: Induction 20 % occlusive epicutaneous
4th application: Challenge 10% occlusive epicutaneous

The maximum non-irritant concentration was determined in a pre-test.

No. of animals per dose:
test group: 20
control group: 10
Details on study design:
Exposure time to test item: 6 hours each
Induction I, II and III: day 0, 7 and 14
Challenge: day 28
Reading: 30 and 54 h after the challenge application

Application volume: 0.3 cm3
Challenge controls:
A control group of 10 animals (females) was treated with adjuvant and the vehicle during the induction period.
For challenge the group was treated with the vehicle as well as the test material to check the maximum subirritant concentration of the material in adjuvant
treated animals.
Positive control substance(s):
no
Remarks:
Not included in this test. However, strain sensitivity is checked periodically with known sensitizers.

Results and discussion

Positive control results:
Reference values with 2-Mercaptobenzothiazol (2-MCBT) (in life phase: 07-11-1994 to 02-12-1994):
Positive results in 9/10 animals after 48 h and 9/10 animals after 72 h.
