Details on test animals or test system and environmental conditions:
TEST ANIMALS
- Source: Harlan France SARL, 03800 GANNAT, France
- Age at study initiation: twelve to twenty weeks old
- Weight at study initiation: 2.0 to 3.5 kg
- Housing: the animals were individually housed in suspended cages.
- Diet (ad libitum): Certified Rabbit Diet
- Water (ad libitum): mains drinking water
- Acclimation period: at least five days

ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS
- Temperature: 17 to 23°C
- Relative humidity: 30 to 70%
- Air exchanges: at least fifteen changes per hour
- Photoperiod (hrs dark / hrs light): 12/12

The animals were provided with environmental enrichment items which were considered not to contain any contaminant of a level that might have affected the purpose or integrity of the study.

Test system

Type of coverage:
semiocclusive
Preparation of test site:
other: clipped
Vehicle:
unchanged (no vehicle)
Controls:
no
Amount / concentration applied:
TEST MATERIAL
- Amount(s) applied (volume or weight with unit): a quantity of 0.5 g of the test material, moistened with the vehicle

VEHICLE
- Amount(s) applied (volume or weight with unit): 0.5 mL of distilled water
Duration of treatment / exposure:
4 hours
Observation period:
approximately one hour following the removal of the patches, and 24, 48 and 72 hours later
Number of animals:
3 male rabbits
Details on study design:
TEST SITE
- Area of exposure and type of wrap used: on the day before the test each of a group of three rabbits was clipped free of fur from the dorsal/flank area using veterinary clippers. Only animals with a healthy intact epidermis by gross observation were selected for the study.
On the day of the test a suitable test site was selected on the back of each rabbit.
A quantity of the test material moistened with the vehicle, was introduced under a 2.5 cm X 2.5 cm cotton gauze patch and placed in position on the shorn skin. The patch was secured in position with a strip of surgical adhesive tape. To prevent the animals interfering with the patches, the trunk of each rabbit was wrapped in an elasticated corset and the animals were returned to their cages for the duration of the exposure period.

REMOVAL OF TEST SUBSTANCE
- Washing: the corset and patches were removed from each animal and any residual test material removed by gentle swabbing with cotton wool soaked in distilled water.
- Time after start of exposure: four hours after application

SCORING SYSTEM: according to the Draize scale
Any other skin reactions, if present, were also recorded.
