Materials and methods

Test guideline
Qualifier:
no guideline followed
Principles of method if other than guideline:
Internal method (BASF test): Two animals were treated for 5 and 15 min, 2 and 20 hours using occlusive conditions. An application site of 2.5 x 2.5 cm was covered with the liquid test substance. In addition skin tissue from the ear was tested by wrapping the ear. These results from the ear, however, would not be taken into account for evaluation as they do not represent testing of the dorsal/lateral flank of the back. After the application time the skin was washed. The animals were observed 8 days and the skin changes were recorded on working days.
GLP compliance:
no
