Materials and methods

Test guideline
Qualifier:
equivalent or similar to guideline
Guideline:
OECD Guideline 404 (Acute Dermal Irritation / Corrosion)
Principles of method if other than guideline:
Method: Before OECD Guideline 404 was established in 1982, skin irritation was tested using an internal method (BASF test). White Vienna rabbits were used. Usually, 2 animals were treated for 1, 5 and 15 minutes and 2 other animals for 20 hours using occlusive conditions. An application site of 2.5 X 2.5 cm was covered with the liquid or powdered and moistened test substance. After the application time, the skin was washed with water which sometimes contained a mild detergent (e.g. Lutrol (50%)). The animals were observed 7 to 8 days and skin changes were recorded on working days. The report usually describes findings after 24 hours and at the end of the observation period.
