other: see 'Remark'
Remarks:
- The test performance was similar to OECD guideline, however with few deviations (occlusive test conditions, 1ml test substance applied, exposure periods of 1, 5, 15 minutes and 20 hours, additionally testing of the ear) that did not affect the validity of the results for assessment. - The study is scientifically acceptable.

Number of animals:
One animal (animal 1) received dorsal applications of test substance for 1, 5, 15 minutes and for 20 hours, and a 20 hour application on the ear;
One animal (animal 2) received dorsal applications of test substance for 1, 5, 15 minutes and for 20 hours, and a 20 hour application on the ear;
One animal (animal 3) received dorsal application of test substance for 20 hours, and a 20 hour application on the ear;
One animal (animal 4) received dorsal application of test substance for 20 hours, and a 20 hour application on the ear;
Details on study design:
Skin irritation was tested using an internal method (BASF test). The test substance was applied unchanged on the backs of 2 animals for 1, 5 and 15 minutes. The application sites were rinsed with Lutrol and Lutrol in water 1:1. The test substance was also applied for 20 hours on the back of two other animals, without rinsing. Each animals further received a 20 hour application on the ear, without rinsing.
The animals were observed for 8 days and skin changes were recorded. Scoring was perfomed at following time points: 24h, 48h, 72h, day 6, and day 8

Irritant / corrosive response data:
ANIMAL 1:
Dorsal application for 1, 5, 15 minutes: no effects were seen
Dorsal application for 20 hours: questionable redness seen after 24 and 48 hours; replaced by fine scaling after 72 hours, no more effects at day 6, no edema.
ANIMAL 2:
Dorsal application for 1, 5, 15 minutes: on all 3 application sites, questionable erythema was seen after 24 hours, but no edema. On the 1 min. application site, no more effects were seen after 48 hours. On the 5 min. application site, questionable erythema lasted for 72 hours and was no more seen thereafter; no edema. On the 15 min. application site, questionable erythema lasted for 72 hours; at time point 72 hours, fine scaling was seen, that lasted until day 6; no edema.
Dorsal application for 20 hours: questionable redness was seen after 24 hours, which turned to well-defined after 48 hours and lasted until 72 hours. Redness was accompanied by slight edema (24 to 72 hours). The findings were no more evident from day 6.
ANIMAL 3:
Dorsal application for 20 hours: questionable erythema lasting for 72 hours was reported, but no edema.
