Test system

Type of coverage:
occlusive
Preparation of test site:
clipped
Vehicle:
unchanged (no vehicle)
Controls:
other: untreated skin of the same animal
Amount / concentration applied:
TEST MATERIAL
- Amount(s) applied: ca. 1 mL
Duration of treatment / exposure:
The test substance was applied for 1 min, 5 min, 15 min and 20 h
Observation period:
8 days
Number of animals:
2
Details on study design:
TEST SITE
- Area of exposure: 2.5 x 2.5 cm
- Type of wrap if used:
Application to ear: a cotton ball soaked with test item was fixed to the ear
Application to back: a small piece of cloth was fixed to the back with the help of a gauze patch

REMOVAL OF TEST SUBSTANCE
- Washing: After the short-term applications the test substance was washed off with Lutrol; after the 20-hour application the test substance was not washed off.
- Time after start of exposure: 1 min, 5 min and 15 min

SCORING SYSTEM: observed were the parameters erythema, edema, scaling, and necrosis
Grading system:
"reizlos" Ø: considered as equivalent to Grade 0 (no irritating effect) according to OECD Guideline 404
"fraglich" (+): considered as equivalent to Grade 1 (very slight erythema (barely perceptible)) according to OECD Guideline 404
"leicht" +: considered as equivalent to Grade 2 (well-defined effect) according to OECD Guideline 404
"stark" ++: considered as equivalent to Grade 3 (moderate (to severe)) effect according to OECD Guideline 404
"sehr stark" +++: considered as equivalent to Grade 4 (severe effect) according to OECD Guideline 404
