Details on dermal exposure:
TEST SITE
- Area of exposure: Shorn dorsal skin.

REMOVAL OF TEST SUBSTANCE
- Washing (if done): Washed with mild soap and water
Duration of exposure:
24 hours
Doses:
5000 mg/kg bw
No. of animals per sex per dose:
4
Details on study design:
- Duration of observation period following administration: 14 days
- Frequency of observations and weighing: 7 and 14
- Necropsy of survivors performed: yes
- Other examinations performed: clinical signs, body weight,organ weights, histopathology, other:The topical response at the site of application was evaluated after patch removal. Animals were observed frequently during exposure and for the following two weeks for signs of toxicity.
Bodyweights were recorded on the day of dosing, thereafter and on days 7 and 14. At the end of the study all animals were subject to gross necropsy, macroscopic abnormalities were recorded.
