Details on test animals or test system and environmental conditions:
TEST ANIMALS
- Source: LPT
- Age at study initiation: 7.5 months
- Weight at study initiation: 2.4 - 2.8 kg
- Housing: During the exposure period the animals were kept singly in special restrainers which allowed free movement of the head but prevented a complete body turn. Before and after the 4-hour exposure period the rabbits were kept separately in cages with dimensions of 425 mm x 600 mm x 380 mm.
- Diet (e.g. ad libitum): ad libitum
- Water (e.g. ad libitum): ad libitum
- Acclimation period: at least 20 days

ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS
- Temperature (°C): 20°C ± 3°C
- Humidity (%): 50% ± 20%
- Photoperiod (hrs dark / hrs light): 12 hours/12 hours

Test system

Type of coverage:
semiocclusive
Preparation of test site:
shaved
Vehicle:
unchanged (no vehicle)
Controls:
yes, concurrent no treatment
Amount / concentration applied:
TEST MATERIAL
- 0.5 ml/patch and animal, once epicutaneous


NEGATIVE CONTROL
- The surrounding untreated skin served as a control.

POSITIVE CONTROL
- no
Duration of treatment / exposure:
4 hours
Observation period:
14 days
Number of animals:
3 males
Details on study design:
TEST SITE
- Area of exposure: approx. 6 cm^2
- Type of wrap if used: Test site covered with a gauze patch. The patch was held in contact with the skin by means of a semi-occlusive dressing.


OBSERVATION TIME POINTS
- 60 minutes, 24,48,72 hours after patch removal


SCORING SYSTEM:
Erythema and Eschar Formation:
0 = no erythema
1 = very slight erythema (barely perceptible)
2 = well-defined erythema
3 = moderate to severe erythema
4 = severe erythema (beet rednessl to slight eschar formation (injuries in depth) preventing erythema reading

Oedema Formation:
0 = no oedema
1 = very slight oedema (barely perceptible)
2 = slight oedema (edges of area well defined by definite raising)
3 = moderate oedema (raised approx. 1 mm)
4 = severe oedema (raised more than 1 mm and extending beyond area of exposure)
If other lesions occur, they will be listed.
