Test system

Type of coverage:
semiocclusive
Preparation of test site:
shaved
Vehicle:
unchanged (no vehicle)
Controls:
other: the untreated sites of the same animal served as control.
Amount / concentration applied:
0.5 ml undiluted test material
Duration of treatment / exposure:
4 hours
Observation period:
14 days
Number of animals:
3 animals
Details on study design:
Approximately 24 hours prior to application of the test substance, hair was removed with electric clippers from the dorso-lumbar region of each rabbit exposing an area of skin approximately 10 cm square.
A 0.5 ml aliquot of HDDA was applied under a 2.5 cm square gauze pad to one intact skin site on each animal.
Each treatment site was occluded with "Elastoplast" elastic adhesive dressing for a four hour period. The animals were not restrained during the exposure period and were returned to their cages.
At the end of the exposure period, the semi-occlusive dressing and gauze pad were removed and the treatment site was washed using water to remove any residual test substance.

Examination of the treated skin was made on Day 1 (i.e. approximately 30 minutes after removal of the patches) and on Days 2, 3 and 4. Additional observations were made on Days 5 through 14.

Grading and scoring of the dermal reactions were performed using the prescribed numerical scoring system according to Draize.
