Details on test animals or test system and environmental conditions:
TEST ANIMALS
- Source: Charles River Wiga GmbH, Sulzfeld, Germany
- Age at study initiation: Young adult animals (male animals approx. 8 weeks, female animals approx. 12 weeks)
- Weight at study initiation: Animals of comparable weight (± 20% of the mean weight); mean(males): 233 g; mean(females): 214.4 g
- Housing: Single housing
- Diet: VRF1(P); SDS Special Diets Services, Altrip, Germany
- Water: Tap water ad libitum
- Acclimation period: Acclimatization period at least 5 days before the beginning of the experimental phase.

ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS
- Temperature (°C): 22 - 26
- Humidity (%): 20 - 80
- Photoperiod (hrs dark / hrs light): 12/12

Administration / exposure

Type of coverage:
semiocclusive
Vehicle:
unchanged (no vehicle)
Details on dermal exposure:
TEST SITE
- Area of exposure: clipped skin (dorsal and dorso-lateral parts of the trunk); the application area comprised at least 10% of body surface area.
- Type of wrap if used: covering of the application site with a semiocclusive dressing (the bandage consists of four layers absorbent gauze, Ph. Eur. Lohmann GmbH & Co. KG and Fixomull stretch (adhesive fleece), Beiersdorf AG) for 24 hours;

REMOVAL OF TEST SUBSTANCE
- Washing: Rinsing of the application site with warm water.
- Time after start of exposure: 24 h

TEST MATERIAL
- Amount(s) applied (volume or weight with unit): 2.31 ml/kg

Duration of exposure:
24 h
Doses:
2000 mg/kg bw
No. of animals per sex per dose:
5
Control animals:
no
Details on study design:
- Duration of observation period following administration: 14 days
- Frequency of observations and weighing:
Body weight determination: Individual body weights shortly before administration (day 0), weekly thereafter and on the last day of observation.
Clinical observations: Recording of clinical signs several times on the day of administration, and at least once daily thereafter each workday for the individual animals.
Scoring of skin findings: Individual readings 30 – 60 minutes after removal of the semiocclusive dressing (day 1), as a rule weekly thereafter and on the last day of observation. The evaluation of skin reactions was performed according to Draize, J.H. (1959): Appraisal of the safety of chemicals in foods, drugs and cosmetics.
Mortality: A check for any dead or moribund animal was made at least once each workday.
- Necropsy of survivors performed: yes
