Details on test animals or test system and environmental conditions:
TEST ANIMALS
- Sex: Male/female
- Weight at study initiation: 1.5 to 2 kgs
- Housing: In order to prevent injuries by bites the rabbits were kept separately in V2A wire cages.
- Diet (e.g. ad libitum): food (NAFAG, Gossau SG, rabbit food) ad libitum
- Water (e.g. ad libitum): ad libitum

Test system

Type of coverage:
occlusive
Preparation of test site:
shaved
Vehicle:
unchanged (no vehicle)
Controls:
not specified
Amount / concentration applied:
C.I. Pigment Red 169 was applied to each side in quantities of 0.5 g. Before application a 50 % polyethylene glycol trituration (PEG 400) was made.
Duration of treatment / exposure:
24 hours
Observation period:
24 hrs and 72 hrs
Number of animals:
Six rabbits (3 males/3 females)
Details on study design:
PROCEDURE:
Six rabbits (3 males/3 females) of the Russian breed were shaved on the whole back and flanks two days before treatment with an electric clipper. The shaven skin on the left side was slightly scarified immediately before treatment.

TEST SITE
- Area of exposure: A gauze patch 2.5 x 2.5 cm was soaked with the test substance and immediately applied to the prepared skin
- Type of wrap if used: The patch was covered with a plastic film 5 x 5 cm, which was fixed to the body with adhesive tape.

REMOVAL OF TEST SUBSTANCE
The gauze patches were removed 24 hours after the application. The reaction of the skin was appraised upon removal and 72 hours after it, on the basis of the following evaluation scheme.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
other: not irritating
Conclusions:
The Primary Irritation Index of test chemical was 0. Hence, the test chemical can be considered to be not irritating to rabbit skin.
Executive summary:

The purpose of the test was to determine the primary-irritation index, which serves as a reassure of the acute irritation, provoked by test chemical on the skin of the rabbits. The procedure adopted was the patch-test technique described in the "Appraisal of the Safety of Chemicals in Foods, Drugs and Cosmetics" (19 59) of the US Association of Food and Drug Officials (AFDO). Six rabbits (3 males/3 females) of the Russian breed, were shaved on the whole back and flanks two days before treatment with an electric clipper. The shaven skin on the left side was slightly scarified immediately before treatment. A gauze patch 2.5 x 2.5 cm was soaked with the test substance and immediately applied to the prepared skin. The patch was covered with a plastic film 5 x 5 cm, which was fixed to the body with adhesive tape. The chemical was applied to each side in quantities of 0.5 g. Before application a 50 % polyethylene glycol trituration (PEG 400) was made. The patch was kept intact till 24 hours. The reaction of the skin was appraised upon removal and 72 hours after patch removal. The observed reactions were scored and Primary Irritation Index was calculated. The Primary Irritation Index of test chemical was 0. Hence, the test chemical can be considered to be not irritating to rabbit skin.
