- Source: three New Zealand White rabbits (from Buckmaster, Henham, Hertfordshire, England)
- Age at study initiation: approx. 9 to 10 weeks
- Weight at study initiation: approx. 2.0 to 2.3 kg prior to treatment

- Air changes (per hr): 19 per hr
- Photoperiod (hrs dark / hrs light): 12 hr light/ 12 hr dark
Test system
- Type of coverage:
- semiocclusive
- Preparation of test site:
- other: clipped
- Vehicle:
- unchanged (no vehicle)
- Controls:
- no
- Amount / concentration applied:
- 0.5 ml aliquot of 3-methyl-1,5-pentanediol
- Duration of treatment / exposure:
- 4 hr
- Observation period:
- Examination of the treated skin was made on day 1 (approx. 30 minutes after removal of the patches), 2, 3 and 4.
- Number of animals:
- 3
- Details on study design:
- Rabbits were dosed with 0.5 ml of the test substance. The dose was applied under a 2.5 cm square gauze pad to a clipped, intact skin site of each animal. Each treatment site was occulded with "Elastoplast" elastic adhesive dressing for a four hour period. At the end of the exposure period, the semi-occulsive dressing and gauze pad were removed and the treatment site was washed using water to remove any residual test substance.
Examination of the treated skin was made on day 1 (approx. 30 minutes after removal of the patches) and on days 2, 3, and 4
Grading and scoring of the dermal reactions were performed using the prescribed numerical scoring system as follows:
Erythema and eschar formation:
No erythema 0
Very slight erythema (barely perceptible) 1
Well-defined erythema 2
Moderate to severe erythema 3
Severe erythema (beet redness) to slight eschar formation (injuries 4
in depth)
Oedema formation:
No oedema 0
Very slight oedema (barely perceptible) 1
Slight oedema (edges of area well-defined by definite raising) 2
Moderate oedema (raised approximately 1 millimetre) 3
Severe oedema (raised more than 1 millimetre and extending 4
beyond the area of exposure)
Interpretation of results and classification of substance
The results obtained were evaluated taking into consideration the nature and the reversibility or irreversibility of the findings observed. Classification of the substance is based on the criteria laid down in: Regulation 1272/2008 EC, Annex I, table 3.2.2
