Test animals

Species:
rabbit
Strain:
New Zealand White

Test system

Type of coverage:
not specified
Preparation of test site:
shaved
Vehicle:
physiological saline
Controls:
not required
Duration of treatment / exposure:
Skin preparation:
4 hours before the beginning of the test an area of approximately 240 cm2 has been shaved off from the
back and hips of the animals. An area of about 6 cm2 was used for the application of the assay sample.

Application:
500 mg of the test substance have been applied on the animal’s skin, after humidification with
physiological solution, with a square gauze (2.5 cm x 2.5 cm) and fixed with an elastic bandaging.

Removal of the patches:
The patches have been removed 4 hours after the application.
The exceeding substance has then been cleansed off from skin using a pad soaked with physiological
solution.
Observation period:
OBSERVATIONS
The general conditions of the animals have been daily verified. Skin reactions have been evaluated one
hour after removal of the patches.
The evaluation has been repeated 24, 48 and 72 hours after the application.
Number of animals:
Three rabbits have been used to perform the test.
