Test animals
- Species:
- rabbit
- Strain:
- other: albino
- Details on test animals or test system and environmental conditions:
- Four normal, healthy, albino rabbits, weighing 2 - 3.5 kg, were used in this study. The animals had been acclimated to laboratory conditions for at least two weeks prior to being placed on test. Prior to placing the animals on test their backs were clipped free of all hair with small animal clippers. The backs were further prepared by making epidermal abrasions every two to three cm, longitudinally, over the clipped area of exposure.
The test material, at a level of 5 ml. per kilo, was applied to the clipped intact and abraded skin areas. These areas were covered with a rubber sleeve or dam which fit snuggly around each animal. The animals were then placed in a multiple animal holder and held there for a twenty-four hour period. During this time each test animal was allowed its daily ration of rabbit pellets and water.
Following the twenty-four hour exposure period the rubber sleeves were removed from the test animals and skin reactions recorded. Each animal was thoroughly wiped down and returned to its own metabolism cage to be observed for a fourteen day period.

Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Interpretation of results:
- GHS criteria not met
- Conclusions:
- In this study with rabbits, the dermal occlusive application of 5 mL test item/kg bw over 24 hours onto intact and abraded skin caused only very mild erythema.
- Executive summary:
In this study with rabbits, the dermal occlusive application of 5 mL test item/kg bw over 24 hours onto intact and abraded skin caused only very mild erythema.
