RANGE FINDING TESTS:
A preliminary test was conducted in order to establish a non-irritant test substance concentration which could be used in the main test. Amounts of 0.4 mL of test substance preparations (25, 50 and 75% (w/w) in corn oil) and the undiluted test substance were applied to the skin of 4 animals under occlusive conditions. Exposure duration was 6 h, after which the patches were removed and the areas of application were wiped off with corn oil and a cellulose swab. Dermal reactions were assessed directly after patch removal and 24 and 48 h post-application according to the Draize scoring system for erythema and edema.
The mean erythema and edema scores out of all 4 animals over 6, 24 and 48 h post-application were both 0.0. Thus, no primary dermal irritation was observed on the skin of the treated animals up to a test substance concentration of 100% at any reading time point. Therefore, the main study was performed using the undiluted test substance.
