Any other information on results incl. tables

There was no mortality or remarkable differences in body
weight or absolute/relative liver or kidney weights. 
Abnormal skin responses (desquamation, and fissures) were
noted on the test substance-treated rabbits.  No abnormal
skin responses were noted on the control animals.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
The no-observed-effect-level (NOEL) for systemic effects was
determined to be greater than 1.0 mL/kg/application of the
test substance to rabbits under the conditions employed in
this study.
