Details on test animals or test system and environmental conditions:

TEST ANIMALS
- Source: Elevage Scientifique des Dombes F-01400 Chatillon sur Chalaronne / France
- Age at study initiation:
14-15 weeks (male)
13-14 weeks (females)
- Weight at study initiation: 2.7-3.0 kg
- Housing: Individually in stainless steel cages equipped with feed hoppers, drinking water bowls, with autoclaved wood (RCC Ltd, Füllinsdorf) and haysticks for gnawing.
- Diet: ad libitum
- Water: ad libitum
- Acclimation period: Six days under laboratory conditions after health examination. Only animals without any visual signs of illness were used for the study.

ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS

- Humidity: 40-54 %
- Air changes: 10-15 per hour
- Photoperiod: 12 hours light and 12 hours dark

Test system

Type of coverage:

semiocclusive

Preparation of test site:

shaved

Vehicle:

other: moistened with bi-distilled water

Controls:

no

Amount / concentration applied:

TEST MATERIAL
- Amount(s) applied (volume or weight with unit): 0.5 g (per patch) of test item

Duration of treatment / exposure:

4 hours

Observation period:

Daily from delivery of the animals to the termination of test.

Number of animals:

1 male and 2 females

Details on study design:

TEST SITE
- Area of exposure: 100 cm2 (10 cm x 10 cm).
- Type of wrap if used: gauze patch, semi-occlusive wrap

REMOVAL OF TEST SUBSTANCE
- Washing (if done): skin was flushed with lukewarm tap water to clean the application site
- Time after start of exposure: 4h

SCORING SYSTEM: The skin reaction was assessed according to the numerical scoring system listed in the EEC Commission Directive 92/69/EEC, July 31, 1992 at approximately 1, 24, 48 and 72 hours after the removal of the dressing, gauze patch and test item.

Irritant / corrosive response data:

The test item did not elicit any skin reactions at the application site following the initial three minute or one hour exposure (number 98 only).
Application of the test item to healthy intact rabbit skin for a duration of four hours resulted in a primary irritation score of 0.00.
The test item did not elict any skin reactions at the application site at any of the observation times (all scores 0). The mean values from 24 to 72 hours were therefore 0 for erythema and 0 for oedema.

No irreversible alterations of the treated skin were observed nor were corrosive effects evident on the skin.

Other effects:

VIABILITY/MORTALITY/CLINICAL SIGNS
No clinical signs of systemic toxicity were observed in the animals during the study and no mortality occurred.
COLORATION
Light yellow staining caused by the test item was observed at the test site of one female at the 1-hour reading.
BODY WEIGHTS
The body weights of all rabbits were considered to be within the normal range of variability.
