- Age when treated: 15 weeks (male), 15 weeks (females)
- Weight when treated: 2631 grams (male), 2831 - 2852 grams (females)
- Housing: Standard Laboratory Conditions; individually in stainless steel cages equipped with feed hoppers and drinking water bowls. Wood blocks (Harlan Laboratories Ltd., Füllinsdorf) and haysticks 4642 (batch no. 69/08, Provimi Kliba AG) were provided for gnawing.
- Diet (e.g. ad libitum): pelleted standard Provimi Kliba 3418 rabbit maintenance diet, ad libitum
- Water (e.g. ad libitum): Community tap water from Füllinsdorf, ad libitum
- Acclimation period: 5 days (from 2009-03-18 to 2009-03-22) under laboratory conditions after health examination. Only animals without any visual signs of illness were used for the study.

ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS
- Temperature (°C): 17 - 23 °C
- Humidity (%): 30 - 70% (values above 70% during cleaning process possible)
- Air changes (per hr): 10-15
- Photoperiod (hrs dark / hrs light): 12/12, automatically controlled light cycle, music during the daytime light period

Type of coverage:
semiocclusive
Preparation of test site:
clipped
Vehicle:
unchanged (no vehicle)
Remarks:
purified
Controls:
no
Amount / concentration applied:
TEST MATERIAL
- Amount(s) applied (volume or weight with unit): 0.5 g/animal, as delivered by the sponsor
- The pH of the test item was measured before the study initiation date in a 1 % (w/w) solution in purified water and was found to be 5.
Duration of treatment / exposure:
4 hours
Observation period:
72 hours
Number of animals:
1 male and 2 females
Details on study design:
TEST SITE
- Area of exposure: left flank, 100 cm² (10 cm x 10 cm)
- % coverage: no data, ca. 2.5 cm x 2.5 cm
- Type of wrap if used: 0.5g of T003063 on a surgical gauze patch was held in contact with the skin by means of an adhesive hypoallergenic aerated semi-occlusive dressing and a restrainer bandage wrapped around the abdomen.

REMOVAL OF TEST SUBSTANCE
- Washing (if done): the skin was flushed with lukewarm tap water to clean the application site.
- Time after start of exposure: 4 hours after treatment

SCORING SYSTEM:
- The skin reaction was assessed according to the numerical scoring system listed in the Commission Regulation (EC) No. 440/2008, B.4, at approximately 1, 24, 48 and 72 hours after exposure (removal of the dressing, gauze patch and test item).
