- Source: Charles River (UK) Ltd., Margate, Kent, UK
- Age at study initiation: approximately 8 weeks
- Weight at study initiation: 206-226 g (females) and 191-232 (males). One male weighed less than the 200 g specified in the Standard Test Method, but this was not considered to have affected the integrity of the study.
- Fasting period before study: no
- Housing: animals were housed individually during the exposure period and in groups of 5 by sex for the remainder of the study; in suspended polypropylene cages furnished with woodflakes
- Diet: Rat and Mouse SQC Expanded diet No.1 (Special Diets Services Limited, Witham, Essex, UK), ad libitum
- Water: tap water, ad libitum
- Acclimation period: at least 5 days

ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS
- Temperature (°C): 19-25
- Humidity (%): 30-70
- Air changes (per hr): at least 15
- Photoperiod (hrs dark / hrs light): 12/12

Administration / exposure

Type of coverage:
semiocclusive
Vehicle:
water
Remarks:
the test substance was moistened with distilled water
Details on dermal exposure:
TEST SITE
- Area of exposure: a shorn area on the back and flank of the rats
- % coverage: 10
- Type of wrap if used: self-adhesive semi-occlusive bandage

REMOVAL OF TEST SUBSTANCE
- Washing (if done): the test site was cleaned with cotton wool moistened with distilled water
- Time after start of exposure: 24 hours

TEST MATERIAL
- Amount(s) applied (volume or weight with unit): 2000 mg/kg bw
- Constant volume or concentration used: yes
- For solids, paste formed: yes
Duration of exposure:
24 h
Doses:
2000 mg/kg bw
No. of animals per sex per dose:
5
Control animals:
no
Details on study design:
- Duration of observation period following administration: 14 days
- Frequency of observations and weighing: animals were observed for mortality and clinical signs 1/2, 1, 2 and 4 hours after dosing and then once daily for 14 days. The body weight was recorded prior to dosing, and 7 and 14 days after dosing. The test site was observed for primary irritation (erythema and edema, according to the Draize scoring system) once daily for 14 days.
- Necropsy of survivors performed: yes, the animals were subjected to gross pathological examination
