Details on study design:
TEST SITE
- Area of exposure: 6 cm² on the dorsal area of the trunk
- Type of wrap if used: The test substance was applied to the skin of one flank using a metalline patch of 2x3 cm. The patch was mounted on Micropore tape, which was wrapped around the abdomen and secured with Coban elastic bandage.

REMOVAL OF TEST SUBSTANCE
- Washing: Residual test substance was removed using tap water and watery ethanol (50% v/v)
- Time after start of exposure: 4 h

OBSERVATION TIME POINTS
The skin irritation effects (erythema, oedema, scales, dryness) were assessed 1, 24, 48, 72 h and 7 days after removoal of the dressings and test substance.

Irritant / corrosive response data:
Very slight erythema (grade 1) at the 1-, 48- and 72-h reading time point and well-defined erythema (grade 2) at the 24-h reading time point were observed in Animal #1 and #2. In Animal #3 very slight erythema (grade 1) were noted at the 1-, 24- and 48-h reading time point. Very slight edema (grade 1) at the 1- and 48-h reading time point and well-defined edema (grade 2) at the 24-h reading time point occured in Animal #1, whereas only very slight edema (grade 1) were noted in Animal #2 and #3 at the 1-, 24- and 48-h reading time point. The skin irritation had resolved within 72 h after exposure in Animal #3 and within 7 Days after exposure in Animal #1 and #2, respectively.
