Reliability:
2 (reliable with restrictions)
Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
other: see 'Remark'
Remarks:
This study is performed prior to the introduction of GLP and does not comply according to the current guidelines. The main objection is the fact that the test material was applied as a dry powder and not moistened sufficiently prior to application. As the substance is an insoluble organic pigment, this is considered acceptable.

Details on study design:
TEST SITE
Before treatment the entire back and the flank of the rabbits were shaved with an electric clipper and immediately before treatment the shaven skin on one side was slightly scarified with the help of a "Schropfschnapper", Aesculap, Switzerland. Gauze patches of 2.5 x 2.5 cm laden with 0.5 g of the test material were applied to the prepared abraded and intact skin. The patches were covered with an impermeable material and were fastened to the body of the rabbit with adhesive tape.

REMOVAL OF TEST SUBSTANCE
The dressings were removed after a 24 hour application.

SCORING SYSTEM:
The skin reaction was appraised upon removal and during an observation period of 7 days on the basis of erythema and eschar formation and edema formation.
Calculation of the primary skin irritation Index:
The scores read after 24 and 72 hours for erythema and edema for the intact as well as for the abraded skin were summed up and divided by 4.
