TEST ANIMALS
- Source: Abbaye de Bellefontaine (49122 Bêgrolles en Mauges, France)
- Age at study initiation:
- Weight at study initiation: mean weight of 3 kg
- Housing: the rabbits were individually housed in polystyrene cages 0.35 x 0.55 x 0.32 M. Each cage was equipped with a food container and a water bottle.
- Diet (e.g. ad libitum): animals fed ad libitum with a certified pelleted Rabbit diet Ref. 112C (U.A.R., villemoisson sur Orge, France)
- Water: free access to tap water filtered with Millipore filters in water bottles. Routine bacteriological and chemical analysis of water were made, in order to detect major contaminants, by the Laboratoire Municipal, 76000 Rouen, France.
- Acclimation period: for at least seven days

ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS
- Temperature (°C): 18 ± 3 °C
- Humidity (%): 50 ± 20 %
- Photoperiod (hrs dark / hrs light): the light/dark cycle was 12 hours per day

Executive summary:

Method

The study was conducted in six New-Zeland white rabbits, according to the recommendations of the OECD Guideline 404.

Results

One hour after the application of the test sample, the staining of the skin of four animals (01, 03, 05, 06) presented observation of slight erythema. However, well-defined erythema, if present, would have been visible. On Day 2, the staining persisted in two animals (03, 06). On Day 3, no erythema and oedema was observed in any animal. The mean erythema score was 0, and the mean oedema score was 0.

Conclusion

Non irritant
