Details on study design:
RANGE FINDING TESTS: 3 animals were exposed to 6, 12.5, 25 and 50% of the test substance in distilled water for 6 h. After treatment, treated areas were rinsed with tap water. The highest, technically possible concentration of 50% test substance in distilled water did not produce any skin reactions in the animals.
