TEST ANIMALS
- Weight at study initiation: 1.9-3.1 kg

Test system

Type of coverage:
semiocclusive
Preparation of test site:
clipped
Vehicle:
unchanged (no vehicle)
Controls:
yes, concurrent no treatment
Amount / concentration applied:
0.5 mL
Duration of treatment / exposure:
24 hours
Observation period:
72 hours
Number of animals:
6
Details on study design:
The hair was clipped from the back and flanks of each of 6 rabbits, and two sites located lateral to the midline of the back and approximately 10 cm apart were selected for the test; one site was abraded by making four epidermal incisions, two perpendicular to the other two. A 0.5-ml dose of undiluted test material was applied to each site. The sites were immediately covered with 2-in.-square gauze patches that were secured with masking tape, and the trunk of each animal was wrapped with plastic sheeting to maintain the patches in position and retard evaporation of the test material. After 24 h the plastic wrappings and gauze patches were removed, and the intact and abraded test sites were scored separately for erythema and edema on a graded scale of 0 to 4; after 72 h, the sites were scored again. The mean primary irritation score (maxi- mum = 8) represents an average of the 24- and 72-h ratings of the intact and abraded sites.

Executive summary:

A primary skin irritation test was performed in Albino rabbits. The hair was clipped from the back and flanks of each of 6 rabbits, and two sites located lateral to the midline of the back and approximately 10 cm apart were selected for the test; one site was abraded by making four epidermal incisions, two perpendicular to the other two. A 0.5-ml dose of undiluted test material was applied to each site. The sites were immediately covered with 2-in.-square gauze patches that were secured with masking tape, and the trunk of each animal was wrapped with plastic sheeting to maintain the patches in position and retard evaporation of the test material. After 24 h the plastic wrappings and gauze patches were removed, and the intact and abraded test sites were scored separately for erythema and edema on a graded scale of 0 to 4; after 72 h, the sites were scored again. The mean primary irritation score (maxi- mum = 8) represents an average of the 24- and 72-h ratings of the intact and abraded sites. The mean primary irritation score of the test item was determined to be 0.9 (lower than 5) and thus, it was concluded not be an skin irritant.
