Constituent 1
Test animals
- Species:
- rabbit
- Strain:
- New Zealand White
- Details on test animals or test system and environmental conditions:
- Young adult animals were used. They were identified via ear tattoo. The animals were housed in fully air-conditioned rooms with a central air-conditioning of 20-24°C for temperature and a relative humidty of 30 - 70%. The day/night rhthym was 12 hours dark and 12 hours light. The animals were housed singly.
The animals were offered a standardized laboratory diet (about 130 g per animal and day) as well as drinking water (250 ml per animal and day).
The acclimatization period was 1 week.
Test system
- Type of coverage:
- semiocclusive
- Preparation of test site:
- other: fur was removed by clipping the dorsal part of the trunk
- Vehicle:
- unchanged (no vehicle)
- Controls:
- other: untreated skin of the same animal
- Amount / concentration applied:
- 0.5 ml
- Duration of treatment / exposure:
- 3 min and 1 hour
- Observation period:
- 8 days (1 animal), 15 days (2 animals)
- Number of animals:
- 3
- Details on study design:
- The test patch (2.5 x 2.5 cm) was secured in position with a semiocclusive dressing. The test substance was removed at the end of the exposure period with Lutrol and Lutrol/water (1:1). The test patch was moistened with a dose of 0.5 ml of the unchanged liquid test substance.
Application site: upper third of the back or flank.
Additional investigation: Because the visual assessment of the skin did not allow a statement with respect to the depth of necrotic changes (full-lthickness necrosis), a cross incision of the treated skin has been performed after the animal was killed at study termination. Additionally histopathological examination was performed.

Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Conclusions:
- Under the test conditions chosen and considering the described findings, the test substance gives indication of causing full thickness destruction of skin tissue as a result of an exposure period of 1 hour. After an exposure period of 3 minutes, the skin findings were not reversible within 8 or 15 days.
