- Photoperiod (hrs dark / hrs light): 12/12

Test system

Type of coverage:
semiocclusive
Preparation of test site:
shaved
Vehicle:
unchanged (no vehicle)
Remarks:
moistened with demineralised water
Controls:
other: not required, untreated sites of the same animal served as control
Amount / concentration applied:
TEST MATERIAL
- Amount applied: 0.5 g

VEHICLE
- Amount applied: The grinded powdery test substance was moistened with 0.5 mL demineralised water.
Duration of treatment / exposure:
4 h
Observation period:
72 h
Reading time points: 30-60 min, 24, 48 and 72 h
Number of animals:
3 males
Details on study design:
TEST SITE
- Area of exposure: approx. 6 cm² on the dorsal area of the trunk
- Type of wrap if used: the treated skin was covered with a gauze patch which was secured in place with a non-irritant plaster. The patch was held in contact with the skin using a suitable semi-occlusive dressing.

REMOVAL OF TEST SUBSTANCE
- Washing (if done): the treated skin area was washed with warm water to remove residual test substance.
- Time after start of exposure: 4 h
