Details on test animals or test system and environmental conditions:
Body weight male rabbit: 3.48 kg
Body weight female rabbit: 3.49 kg

Test system

Type of coverage:
occlusive
Preparation of test site:
other: intact or abraded
Vehicle:
unchanged (no vehicle)
Controls:
other: untreated skin of the same animal
Amount / concentration applied:
0.5 g
Duration of treatment / exposure:
20 h
Observation period:
Readings after 24 hours and 8 days
Number of animals:
2
Details on study design:
The test substance was applied to a 2.5 x 2.5 cm application site of white Vienna rabbits for 20 h under occlusive conditions. The skin was either intact or abraded. After the application time, the skin was washed with water which may have contained a mild detergent. Animals were observed for 8 days and skin changes were observed on working days. Findings were recorded after 1 min, 5 min, 15 min and 20 hours and at the end of the observation period. Findings were graded as described in OECD test guideline 404.
