- Age at study initiation:14 weeks (male); 13 weeks (females)
- Weight at study initiation:2.4 to 2.7 kg
- Housing: Individually in stainless steel cages equipped with feed hoppers, drinking water bowls, with wood (RCC Ltd, Füllinsdorf) and haysticks for gnawing.
- Diet (e.g. ad libitum):Pelleted standard Provimi Kliba 3418 rabbit maintenance diet ad libitum (batch no. 30/00) provided by Provimi Kliba AG, CH-4303 Kaiseraugst. Results of analysis are archived at RCC Ltd, Hingen. Haysticks (QS no. 102/00) provided by Eberle Nafag AG, CH-9200 Gossau.
- Water (e.g. ad libitum):Community tap water from Füllinsdorf, ad libitum. Results of bacteriological, chemical and contaminant analyses are archived at RCC Ltd, Hingen.
- Acclimation period: Six days under laboratory conditions after health examination. Only animals without any visual signs of illness were used for the study.

ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS
- Temperature (°C):22 ±3
- Humidity (%):45-70
- Air changes (per hr):10-15 air changes per hour
- Photoperiod (hrs dark / hrs light): 12 hours light and 12 hours dark.

Test system

Type of coverage:
semiocclusive
Preparation of test site:
clipped
Vehicle:
other: The test substance was moistened with bidistilled water
Controls:
not specified
Amount / concentration applied:
500 mg
Duration of treatment / exposure:
4 h
Observation period:
1, 24, 48 and 72 hours
Number of animals:
3
Details on study design:
TEST SITE
- Area of exposure: 100 cm² (10 cm x 10 cm).
- Type of wrap if used:The dressing was wrapped around the abdomen and anchored with tape.

REMOVAL OF TEST SUBSTANCE
- Washing (if done): The duration of treatment was 4 hours. Then the dressing was removed and the skin was flushed with lukewarm tap water to clean the application site so that any reactions (erythema) were clearly visible at that time.

SCORING SYSTEM: The skin reaction was assessed according to the numerical scoring system listed in the EEC Commission Directive 92/69/EEC, July 31, 1992 at approximately 1, 24, 48 and 72 hours after the removal of the dressing, gauze patch and test item.

Irritant / corrosive response data:
The test article did not elicit any skin reactions at the application site at any of the observation times (all scores 0). The mean values from 24 to 72 hours were therefore 0 for erythema and 0 for oedema
Other effects:
COLORATION: There was no staining of the treated skin by the test article observed. MORTALITY/CLINICAL SIGNS: No mortality and no clinical signs noted.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
not irritating
Conclusions:
Based upon the referred classification criteria (EEC Commission Directive 93/21/EEC of April 27, 1993), FAT 60'253/A is considered to be "not irritating" to rabbit skin.
Executive summary:

The primary skin irritation potential of FAT 60253/A was investigated by topical semiocclusive application of 0.5 g to 6 cm² intact left flank of each of three young adult New Zealand White rabbits. The duration of treatment was four hours. The scoring of skin reactions was performed 1, 24, 48 and 72 hours after removal of the dressing. The scores of each animal at the following reading times (24, 48, 72 hours) were used in calculating the respective mean values for each type of lesion. The test article did not elicit any skin reactions at the application site at any of the observation times (all scores 0). The mean values from 24 to 72 hour were therefore 0 for erythema and 0 for oedema. The test item caused no staining of the treated skin. No corrosive effects were noted on the treated skin of any animal at any measuring interval. Based upon the referred classification criteria (EEC Commission Directive 93/21/EEC of April 27, 1993), FAT 60'253/A is considered to be "not irritating" to rabbit skin.
