Materials and methods

Principles of method if other than guideline:
Experimental design: according to HAZARDOUS Substances, Part 191, Section 11, FDA, Washington 1965.

Three level doses were applied to to a skin area of15 x 16cm in six rabbits (3 males and 3 females). After an exposure period of 8 hours, the test substance was washed with warm water. This was daily repeated for 5 days. During an observation period of 14 days, skin reaction (as described by Draize), general behavior, food consumption and body weight were daily observed. During the assay period, environmental conditions remained constant (Temperature: 21±2 °C, Humidity: 60± 3% and Photoperiod: twelve hours light and twelve hours darkness).

Executive summary:

This study has been carried out with the aim of evaluating the possible dermal toxicity in a repeated dose test of sodium trichloroacetate on the skin, usingNew Zealandrabbits (males and females). The experimental design complies with HAZARDOUS SUBSTANCES, Part 191, Section 11, FDA, Washington 1965. Three level doses were applied to to a skin area of15 x 16cm in six rabbits (3 males and 3 females). After an exposure period of 8 hours, the test substance was washed with warm water. This was daily repeated for 5 days. During an observation period of 14 days, skin reaction (as described by Draize), general behavior, food consumption and body weight were daily observed. During the assay period, environmental conditions remained constant (Temperature: 21±2 °C, Humidity: 60± 3% and Photoperiod: twelve hours light and twelve hours darkness). No toxic effects were observed in any treated animal. The NOAEL was greater or equal than 900 mg/kg bw/day (nominal).
