Details on test animals or test system and environmental conditions:
TEST ANIMALS
- Source: Hare-Marland, Inc., Hewitt, NJ, USA
- Age at study initiation: at least 8 weeks old
- Weight at study initiation: 2.5 – 2.8 kg
- Housing: individually housed in suspended, stainless steel cages with wire mesh bottoms
- Diet: certified Lab Rabbit Diet, HF, No. 5325; PMI Feeds, Inc. St. Louis, MO (approx 125 g/day while on test)
- Water: automatic watering system, municipal water supply, ad libitum
- Acclimation period: 60 days

ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS
- Temperature (°C): 16 - 22
- Humidity (%): 30 – 70
- Photoperiod (hrs dark / hrs light): 12/12


Test system

Type of coverage:
semiocclusive
Preparation of test site:
other: clipped
Vehicle:
unchanged (no vehicle)
Controls:
other: untreated sites of the same animal served as control
Amount / concentration applied:
TEST MATERIAL
- Amount(s) applied (volume or weight with unit): 0.5 mL
Duration of treatment / exposure:
4 h
Observation period:
3 days
reading time points: 24, 48, and 72 hours
Number of animals:
3 females
Details on study design:
TEST SITE
- Area of exposure: intact skin of the dorsal trunk surface
- Type of wrap if used: 6 cm² gauze square placed directly on the intact test site per animal and directly held in place with tape. Gauze was then wrapped around the animal and secured with tape to keep the test material in contact with the skin.

REMOVAL OF TEST SUBSTANCE
- Washing (if done): The site was wiped free of test material with 0.9% saline and gauze
- Time after start of exposure: At the end of the exposure period
