Administrative data

Endpoint:
skin irritation: in vivo
Type of information:
experimental study
Adequacy of study:
key study
Reliability:
1 (reliable without restriction)
Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
guideline study
Remarks:
Minor deviations from the guideline without an effect on the results: - According to the guideline, approx. 24 h before the test the fur should be removed by clipping or shaving. In this study it was stated that the fur was clipped at least 15 h before the beginning of the test. - According to the guideline, the examination for erythema and oedema should take place at 30 - 60 minutes, and then at 24, 48, 72 h after patch removal. In this study the examination took place at 30 -60 minutes after removal of the test patches and 24 h, 48 h, 72 h after the beginning of application. - A modified Draize scoring system was used. - The results of the reading at 30 - 60 minutes were missing in the test report. Instead a reading at 4 hours was mentioned.

- Housing: Individual housing of rabbits; Cage made of stainless steel with wire mesh walk floors; Floor area: 40 cm X 51 cm; No bedding in the cages; Sawdust in the waste trays
- Diet: Kliba 341, 4 MM; Firma Klingentalmuehle AG; CH-4303 Kaiseraugst, Switzerland (about 130 g per animal per day)
- Water: About 250 mL tap water per animal per day
- Acclimation period: At least 8 days

ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS
- Temperature: 20 - 24 °C
- Relative humidity: 30 - 70 %
- Photoperiod (hrs dark / hrs light): 12/12

Test system

Type of coverage:
semiocclusive
Preparation of test site:
shaved
Vehicle:
water
Controls:
no
Amount / concentration applied:
TEST MATERIAL
- Amount(s) applied (volume or weight with unit): The test patch (2.5 cm X 2.5 cm) was covered with a dose of 0.5 g of the unchanged test substance and has been moistened with aqua. bidest.
Duration of treatment / exposure:
4 hours
Observation period:
72 hours (Readings at 30 -60 minutes after removal of the test patches and 24 hours, 48 hours, 72 hours after the beginning of application)
Number of animals:
3 males
Details on study design:
TEST SITE
- Area of exposure: Application area was 2.5 cm X 2.5 cm. The application site was the upper third of the back or flanks. The untreated skin sites of the animals served as negative control.
- Type of wrap if used: Test patches were secured in position with a porous dressing (four layers of absorbent gauze and porous bandage)

REMOVAL OF TEST SUBSTANCE
- Washing (if done): The test substance was removed with Lutrol and Lutrol/water (1:1)
- Time after start of exposure: At the end of the exposure period

SCORING SYSTEM: A modified Draize scoring system was used.
Evaluation of erythema and oedema:
0 = none
1 = very slight
2 = well-defined
3 = moderate to severe
4 = severe to very severe
