Details on test animals or test system and environmental conditions:
TEST ANIMALS
- Source: a USDA and FDRL approved supplier (no further information)
- Age at study initiation: young adults
- Weight at study initiation: 2-3 kg
- Housing: animals were housed individually in wire mesh bottom cages.
- Diet: NIH 09 Rabbit Ration (Zeigler Brothers, Inc., Gardners, PA, USA)
- Water: tap water, ad libitum
- Acclimation period: at least 5 days

ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS
- Environment-controlled rooms per "Guide for the Care and Use of Laboratory Animals" (no further information).

Test system

Type of coverage:
occlusive
Preparation of test site:
other: shaved and abraded
Vehicle:
unchanged (no vehicle)
Controls:
other: not required, untreated sites of the same animal served as control
Amount / concentration applied:
TEST MATERIAL
- Amount(s) applied (volume or weight with unit): 0.5 mL
Duration of treatment / exposure:
4 h
Observation period:
72 h
Reading time points: 0,5, 24 and 72 h

Details on study design:
TEST SITE
- Area of exposure: right and left dorsal side of the animal. The right dorsal side was abraded to penetrate the stratum corneum.
- Type of wrap if used: the test side was covered with a one square inch gauze patch, two single layers thick and held in place with a Micropore tape and was subsequently secured by a non-absorbant binder.

REMOVAL OF TEST SUBSTANCE
- The test areas were gently wiped using a soft clean gauze.
- Time after start of exposure: 4 h

SCORING SYSTEM: Draize scoring system
