Test system

Type of coverage:
semiocclusive
Preparation of test site:
clipped
Vehicle:
unchanged (no vehicle)
Remarks:
minimally moistened with a suitable amount of doubly-distilled water to guarantee skin contact immediately before test substance application
Controls:
other: untreated skin of the same animal
Amount / concentration applied:
0.5 g (the test patch was covered with an amount of minimally moistened solid preparation)
Duration of treatment / exposure:
4 hours
Observation period:
72 hours
Number of animals:
3
Details on study design:
- Clipping of the fur: At least 24 hours before the beginning of the study clipping of the dorsolateral part of the trunk of the animals.
- Application area: 2.5 x 2.5 cm
- Application site: flank
- Removal test substance: The test substance was removed at the end of the exposure period with Lutrol and Lutrol / water (1 : 1).
- Readings: lmmediately after removal of the patch, approx. 1, 24, 48 and 72 h after removal of the patch and then in weekly intervals maximally up to day 14.
- Illumination used for reading: Daylight tubes "Lumilux" (L 58W/860 PLUS EGO 25X1, Osram, Germany)
- Body weight determination: Just before application of the test substance and after the last reading.
- Check for dead or moribund animals: Twice each workday (beginning and end) and once on Saturdays, Sundays and on public holidays.
