Details on test animals or test system and environmental conditions:

TEST ANIMALS
- Source: Porton strain bred on the premises
- Age at study initiation: 3-4 months
- Weight at study initiation: ca. 2.23 kg for males and 2.55 kg for females
- Housing: caged singly in an experimental room
- Diet (e.g. ad libitum): commercial irradiated diet (Styles-Oxoid); ad libitum
- Water (e.g. ad libitum): sterile filtered drinking water; ad libitum
- Acclimation period: one week

ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS
- Temperature (°C): 20 ± 1°C
- Humidity (%): 50-70%
- Photoperiod (hrs dark / hrs light): 10/14

Test system

Type of coverage:

occlusive

Preparation of test site:

other: shaved or abraded (only data from the shaved skin sites are presented here, since they are suitable for assessment)

Vehicle:

other: 50% aqueous solution of polyethylene glycol

Controls:

other: untreated skin sites of the same animals

Amount / concentration applied:

TEST MATERIAL
- Amount(s) applied (volume or weight with unit): 0.5 g
- Concentration (if solution): 10 g of the test compound was mixed with 20 ml of a 50% aqueous solution of polyethylene glycol to make a solution of 25ml, 1.25ml of which was applied to each test site.

Duration of treatment / exposure:

24 hours

Observation period:

72 hours

Number of animals:

6 (3 males and 3 females)

Details on study design:

TEST SITE
- Area of exposure: at least 10% of the total body surface (the whole back) was shaved 24 hours before treatment). The shaven skin on the rightt side was slightly scarified immediately before treatment. The abrasions were sufficiently deep to penetrate the stratum corneum but not to damage the dermis. The left hand site remained intact.
- % coverage: a 2.5 cm square gauze pad was used
- Type of wrap if used: the pad was covered with aluminium foil secured with Sleek adhesive tape. The test sites were then enclosed by a 6" wide Coban self adhesive bandage, the edges of which were fixed to the skin by strips of Sleek in order to retain the test substance in close contact with the skin.

REMOVAL OF TEST SUBSTANCE
- Time after start of exposure: the gauze patches were removed 24 hours after the application

SCORING SYSTEM: comparable to the OECD scoring system (only 24- and 72-hour scores were determined)

Irritant / corrosive response data:

No erythema formation was observed, neither on intact skin sites nor on the abraded ones. Edema was observed in all but one animals after 24 hours on intact skin sites (one animal with edema score 2 and 4 animals each with edema score 1), and in 4/6 animals at abraded skin sites (one animal with edama score 2 and 3 animals each with edema score 1). The edema formation was completely reversible within 72 hours. It could therefore be assumed that the test substance is not irritating according to EU-CLP.
