Details on study design:
- Hair was clipped on the dorsal areas of the trunks one day before the application of the test substance. The test sites were median on the dorsal thoracal region. 0.5 mL of the test substance was applied via a cellulose patch to a site of about 2.5 cm x 2.5 cm of the intact skin of each of 3 rabbits and covered by a semi-occlusive dressing.
- The skins were examinated for local alterations one day before the administration of the test substance (after clipping of the hair) and immediately before the administration. The treated areas and the surrounding untreated skin (control area) of the animals were examinated (using a cold light source KL 1500 electronic) for erythema/eschar and oedema as well as for other local alterations approximately 1, 24, 48 and 72h after patch removal. The animals were analysed once daily.
- Primary irritation index was calculated according to EPA: all scores for erythema and oedema for the 3 animals and the 4 reading times were added and divided by 12.

Hair of 3 female rabbits (New-Zealand White) was clipped on the dorsal areas of the trunks one day before the application of the test substance. 0.5 mL of the test substance was applied via a cellulose patch to a site of about 2.5 cm x 2.5 cm of the intact skin of each of 3 rabbits and covered by a semi-occlusive dressing.

Details on study design:
- 0.1 mL of the test substance was administered per animal into the conjunctival sacs of the right eyes by gently pulling the lower lids away from the eyeballs for instillation. The eyes were held closed for about one second to prevent loss of the test substance. The left eyes remained untreated and served as a control.
- Both eye were examinated within 24h before the instillation and approximately 1, 24, 48 and 72h after the application. The whole eyes, especially the corneas, the irises and the conjunctivae were examinated using an otoscope lamp.
- Mean data of the eye examination scores of each animal (means of the 24, 48 and 72h) for cornea opacity, iris lesions, conjunctival redness and conjunctival oedema were calculated and were classified according to the EEC Ocular Evaluation Criteria. For each group, ocular scores for each parameter (corneal opacity x area, iritis and conjunctival redness + swelling + discharge) were multiplied by the appropriate factor and totals added for each animals per interval according to the method of Draize. The group mean irritation scores were calculated at each scoring interval. The 24, 48 and 72h mean irritation scores were added and the sum divided by 3 to obtain the overall irritation score.
- In addition, the animals were observed for other than local changes at all observation times. Body weights were rmeasured at the start and at the end of the test. Genral signs of toxicity were recorded once daily.

Additional information

Skin irritation:

An in vivo study was conducted to determine the skin irritation potential of the test substance according to OECD Guideline 404, EU Method B.4 and EPA-Guideline OPPTS 870.2500, in compliance with GLP. Hair of 3 female rabbits (New-Zealand White) was clipped on the dorsal areas of the trunks one day before the application of the test substance. 0.5 mL of the test substance was applied via a cellulose patch to a site of about 2.5 cm x 2.5 cm of the intact skin of each of 3 rabbits and covered by a semi-occlusive dressing. The skins were examined for local alterations one day before the administration of the test substance (after clipping of the hair) and immediately before the administration. The treated areas and the surrounding untreated skin (control area) of the animals were examined for erythema/eschar and oedema as well as for other local alterations approximately 1, 24, 48 and 72h after patch removal.
