Materials and methods

Principles of method if other than guideline:
Method
Six (6) New Zealand white rabbits each received a single dermal application of one-half of one millilitre (0.5 ml) of the test article on two (2) test sites, one (1) abraded and one (1) non-abraded. The test sites were occluded for 24 hours and were observed individually for erythema, edema and other effects 24 and 72 hours after application. Mean scores from the 24 and 72 hour readings were averaged to determine the primary irritation index. The test article was used as a ten (10) percent dilution in corn oil.
