Test animals

Species:
rabbit
Strain:
New Zealand White
Details on test animals or test system and environmental conditions:
TEST ANIMALS
- Age at study initiation: 10 - 12 weeks
- Weight at study initiation: approx. 2 kg
- Housing: individually in grid bottomed metal cages
- Diet: SQC standard rabbit pellets (Special Diets Services, Witham, UK), ad libitum
- Water: mains drinking water, ad libitum
- Acclimation period: at least 5 days

ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS
- Temperature (°C): 5 - 24 (The system was set to maintain temperature within the range of 17 - 23 °C but the heating equipment failed during the acclimatisation period. Temperature was typically greater than 14 °C during the study period.)
- Humidity (%): 37 - 68
- Air changes (per hr): 6
- Photoperiod (hrs dark / hrs light): 12/12

Test system

Type of coverage:
semiocclusive
Preparation of test site:
clipped
Vehicle:
unchanged (no vehicle)
Controls:
other: untreated skin areas
Amount / concentration applied:
TEST MATERIAL
- Amount(s) applied: 0.5 mL
Duration of treatment / exposure:
4 h
Observation period:
7 days
Reading time points: 1, 24, 48 and 72 h and 7 days
Number of animals:
4
Details on study design:
TEST SITE
- Area of exposure: dorsal surface of the trunk
- Type of wrap: The test substance was placed over a 2.5 cm square of surgical lint. The lint square was placed either on the left or on the right flank. The lint patch was held in place by encircling the trunk with a length of adhesive bandage (Elastoplast) 10 cm wide.

REMOVAL OF TEST SUBSTANCE
- Washing: The skin was cleaned of residual test substance by gentle swabbing with cotton wool soaked in warm water.
- Time after start of exposure: 4 h

SCORING SYSTEM: Draize scoring system; Reaction to treatment considered to fall mid-way between the points described was scored as a fraction (i.e. 0.5, 1.5, 2.5, etc).
