shaved
Vehicle:
unchanged (no vehicle)
Controls:
other: untreated skin of same animal
Amount / concentration applied:
TEST MATERIAL
- Amount(s) applied (volume or weight with unit): 0.5ml

Duration of treatment / exposure:
4h
Observation period:
14 days
1, 24, 48, 72h, 7, 14 days after exposure

- Time after start of exposure: 4h
Dry or sticky remnants were present on the skin up to 72h

SCORING SYSTEM: Draize
ERYTHEMA AND ESCHAR FORMATION
No erythema 0
Very slight erythema (barely perceptible) 1
Well defined erythema 2
Moderate to severe erythema 3
Severe erythema (beet redness) 4

In cases where signs of necrosis or corrosion (injuries in depth) prevent erythema scoring, the maximum grade for erythema (= 4) is given.

OEDEMA FORMATION
No oedema 0
Very slight oedema (barely perceptible) 1
Slight oedema (edges of area well defined by definite raising) 2
Moderate oedema (raised approximately 1 mm) 3
Severe oedema (raised more than 1 mm and extending beyond area of exposure) 4

Other effects:
No mortality occured. Lethargy, pale skin, diarrhoea, loss of appetite, piloerection, emaciation and/or swelling of the abdomen were noted in animal 570 and 572 and the animals felt cold from 72 hours or 7 days after treatment onwards until 7 or 13 days respectively after treatment. These signs were evaluated by the veterinarian and study director and were considered signs of a general decline in health and not test substance related signs. This event was evaluated by the study director and considered not to have affected the study integrity.
