- Housing: animals were housed individually in polystyrene cages, with perforated flooring.
- Diet: approximately 150 g per animal per day of complete pelleted rabbit maintenance diet (U.A.R. formula 112, U.A.R. Villemoisson, Orge, France)
- Water: softened and filtered mains drinking water, ad libitum
- Acclimation period: at least 21 days

- Humidity (%): 21-59
- Photoperiod (hrs dark / hrs light): 12/12

Test system

Type of coverage:
semiocclusive
Preparation of test site:
shaved
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:
14 days
Reading time points: 1, 24, 48 and 72 h and 7 and 14 days
Number of animals:

Details on study design:
TEST SITE
- Area of exposure: 6 cm² on the back and the flanks of the animal
- Type of wrap if used: The treated skin was covered with a square of 8-layer thick Codex hydrophilic gauze with an identical surface area and held in place by means of a semi-occlusive dressing (perforated adhesive tape applied onto a band of crepe gauze).
-Other: during exposure, animals were immobilised in restraining boxes.

Other effects:
All test animals showed burnt aspect of the skin from less than one quarter of the application area (4/6), about one quarter (1/6) to the whole application area (1/6), after 24 and 48h. At the 72 h reading time point all animals showed slight dryness of the skin at the application site.
Slight desquamation of the epidermis on the application area was observed in 2/6 animals and severe desquamation in 3/6 animals after 7 days. At this time point all animals showed slight dryness of the skin on the application area. Furthermore, at 7 days one animal showed burnt aspect on the whole application area. After 14 days absence of hair on the whole application area was apparent in all animals.
