- Weight at study initiation: Animal 1: 2,9 kg; Animal 2: 2.3 kg; Animal 3: 3.0 kg
- Housing: Semi-barrier in an air conditioned room, ABS - plastic rabbit cages, floor 4200 cm²
- Diet: Free access to Altromin 2123 maintenance diet for rabbits, rich in crude fibre, totally pathogen free (TPF)
- Water: Free access to tap water (drinking water, municipal residue control, microbiol. controlled periodically)
- Acclimation period: adequate acclimatization period

- Photoperiod (hrs dark / hrs light): artificial light: 12 h light, 12 h dark

Test system

Type of coverage:
semiocclusive
Preparation of test site:
clipped
Vehicle:
unchanged (no vehicle)
Controls:
other: Test item was applied to a small area of skin on one side of the dorsal area, the untreated other side served as control.
Amount / concentration applied:
0.5 mL
Duration of treatment / exposure:
4 h
Observation period:
72 hours
Number of animals:
3
Details on study design:
TEST SITE
- Area of exposure: Test item was applied to a small area (approx. 6 cm²) of skin on one side of the dorsal area
- Type of wrap if used: covered with a gauze patch, which was held in place with non-irritating tape.

OBSERVATION TIME POINTS
1, 24, 48 and 72 hours after patch removal

SCORING SYSTEM:
For the determination of classification-relevant values, the animals were examined for signs of erythema and oedema at 24, 48 and 72 hours after patch removal. Dermal irritation was scored and recorded according to grades of the classification system below:

Erythema and Eschar Formation:
No erythema 0
Very slight erythema (barely perceptible) 1
Well-defined erythema 2
Moderate to severe erythema 3
Severe erythema (beef-redness) to eschar
formation preventing grading of erythema 4

Oedema formation:
No oedema 0
Very slight oedema (barely perceptible) 1
Slight oedema (edges of area well defined by definite raising) 2
Moderate oedema (raised approx. 1 mm) 3
Severe oedema (raised more than 1 mm and extending
beyond exposure area) 4
