- Acclimation period: Stated as acclimated, period unspecified

ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS
- Temperature (°C): 18 °C (range 15-23°C)
- Humidity (%): 55% (range 40-70%)
- Air changes (per hr): 15
- Photoperiod (hrs dark / hrs light): 12 dark/12 light

Preparation of test site:
clipped
Vehicle:
unchanged (no vehicle)
Controls:
yes, concurrent no treatment
Amount / concentration applied:
TEST MATERIAL
- Amount(s) applied (volume or weight with unit): 0.5 g




Duration of treatment / exposure:
4 hours
Observation period:
72 hours
Number of animals:
6
Details on study design:
TEST SITE
- Area of exposure: 3 x 2 cm
- Type of wrap if used: Covered with an unmedicated gauze patch. Pads of cotton wool and elasticated bandage were used to protect the patches and ensure good contact between the skin and the test material during the four-hour exposure period. The elasticated bandage was held in place by thin strips of waterproof plaster ('Blenderm') at both edges.

REMOVAL OF TEST SUBSTANCE
- Washing (if done): Rinsed with warm water, dried with paper tissues
- Time after start of exposure: 4 h

OBSERVATION TIME POINTS
(indicate if minutes, hours or days) 1, 24, 48 and 72 hours after removal of the bandages

SCORING SYSTEM:
- Draize method
