Details on test animals or test system and environmental conditions:
TEST ANIMALS
- Age at study initiation: Young adult albino rabbits
- Weight at study initiation: Mean bodyweight of about 3 kg
- Housing: Individual cages
- Diet: standard rabbit ration
- Water (ad libitum)
- Acclimation period: At least 7 days

Administration / exposure

Type of coverage:
occlusive
Vehicle:
polyethylene glycol
Details on dermal exposure:
TEST SITE
- 24 hours before dermal application, the backs of the rabbits were shaved free of hair with electric clippers
- One rabbit of each sex was further prepared by making epidermal abrasions every 2 or 3 cm longitudinally over the area of exposure; the abrasions were sufficiently deep to penetrate the stratum corneum, but not cause bleeding.
- Area of exposure: Back
- % coverage: 10% of total surface-area
- Type of wrap if used: Impervious plastic sheeting securely taped in place to ensure intimate contact of epidermis and test material

REMOVAL OF TEST SUBSTANCE
- Washing (if done): The animals were thoroughly cleaned. No further details.
- Time after start of exposure: 24 hours

TEST MATERIAL
- Amount: 3 g of the test substance prepared as cream with polyethylene glycol
- For solids, paste formed: yes
Duration of exposure:
24 hours
Doses:
1100 mg/kg bw
No. of animals per sex per dose:
2
Control animals:
no
Details on study design:
- Duration of observation period following administration: 14 days
- Frequency of observations: No details
- Frequency of weighing: At start and end of the study.
- Necropsy of survivors performed: yes
