TEST ANIMALS
- Source: Sittingbourne Research Centre Breeding Unit
- Age at study initiation: 4-9 months
- Weight at study initiation: 3772-4160 g (males) and 3280-4142 g (females)
- Housing: Singly in hanging, stainless steel cages with all-mesh floors and tops and half-mesh fronts; each cage measuring 67 cm x 43 cm x 45 cm. The cages were mounted in three rows of two on a single-sided rack (a total of six cages).
- Diet: Standard Rabbit Diet, SQC, Special Diet Services Ltd, Essex) ad libitum by means of a top loading food hopper
- Water: Filtered but untreated water from the public supply ad libitum by means of an automatic valve-regulated drinking line
- Acclimation period: = 2 weeks

ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS
- Temperature: 16-19 degrees Centigrade
- Photoperiod: Automatically controlled cycle of light (06:00 to 18:00) and dark (18:00 to 06:00)

Test system

Type of coverage:
semiocclusive
Preparation of test site:
shaved
Vehicle:
unchanged (no vehicle)
Controls:
no
Amount / concentration applied:
0.5 mL
Duration of treatment / exposure:
Single dose
Observation period:
14 days
Number of animals:
Three males and three females
Details on study design:
Each animal was identified by means of a numbered metal ear tag and/or a number written on the pinna. Dorsal hair between the shoulders and hindquarters was closely shorn with fine electric clippers. A test site was selected and a 2 cm x 2 cm lint patch containing 0.5 mL of the test substance applied to it. The patch and surrounding skin were covered by a single layer of gauze held in place by an elastic adhesive bandage.

After 4 hours, the wrapping and the patch were removed and the test site washed with water and gently dried. The site was examined and scored for erythema and oedema on a graded scale of zero to 4 using the criteria attached. Observations were made at 30 min after removal of the patch (approximately 4 h after application) and at 24, 48 and 72 h, 7 d and 14 d after patch removal. The mean score of each rabbit at each observation time was calculated together with the group mean 24, 48 and 72 h scores.

Irritant / corrosive response data:
Although there was no skin response at 4 h, all rabbits had developed minimal erythema by 24 h. The degree of irritation progressively increased up to 72 h post-dosing when all rabbits slight to moderate inflammation of the treated site. The erythema had cleared by 7 d. At 7d the oedema had subsided leaving the site very slightly reddened and the skin dry and flaky.

Any other information on results incl. tables

Primary irritation of semi-occluded rabbit skin after a single dose of the test material is described in Table 3 (attached).

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
The test material caused minimal erythema at 24 h progressing to moderate inflammation by 72 h post dosing. All these effects cleared within 14 days.
