Materials and methods

Principles of method if other than guideline:
Skin irritation was tested using an internal standard 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 test substance.
