Materials and methods

Test guideline
Qualifier:
no guideline followed
Principles of method if other than guideline:
Skin irritation was tested using an internal standard method (BASF test). White Vienna rabbits were used. Usually, 2 animals were treated for 1, 5 and 15 minutes and for 20 hours using occlusive conditions. An application site of 2.5 X 2.5 cm was covered with the liquid test substance.
GLP compliance:
no

Irritant / corrosive response data:
See comments in table below.
Other effects:
Reversible clinical signs (apathy and abdominal position with stretched extremities) were seen directly after the 20 h exposure.

Any other information on results incl. tables

Since irritation data are recommended for a 4 h skin exposition, results of the available 20 h and the 15 min exposition will serve as approximation.
