Amount / concentration applied:
TEST MATERIAL
- Amount(s) applied (volume or weight with unit): a quantity of 0.5 mL of the test material
Duration of treatment / exposure:
4 hours
Observation period:
approximately one hour following removal of the patches, and 24, 48 and 72 hours later
Number of animals:
3 rabbits
Details on study design:
TEST SITE
- Area of exposure: approximately twenty-four hours prior to the commencement of the test, each of a group of three rabbits were prepared by closely clipping the fur from the dorsal/flank areas using veterinary clippers. Only animals with a healthy intact epidermis by gross observation were selected for the study.
On the day of the test a suitable test site was selected on the back of each rabbit.
- Type of wrap if used: the test material was introduced under a 2.5 cm X 2.5 cm gauze patch and placed in position on the shorn skin. The patch was secured in position over the test material with two lengths of adhesive strapping (SLEEK) in the form of a cross. To prevent the animals from interfering with the patches the trunk of each rabbit was wrapped in an elasticated corset (TUBIGRIP) and the animals were returned to their cages for the duration of the exposure period.

REMOVAL OF TEST SUBSTANCE
- Washing: the corset and patches were removed from each animal and any residual test material removed by gentle swabbing with cotton wool soaked in distilled water.
- Time after start of exposure: four hours after application

SCORING SYSTEM: according to the Draize scale
