Any other information on results incl. tables

Four animals of the test substance group died after the end of the epicutaneous induction exposure. In one animal forelimb paralysis was noted from Day 14 until the termination of the study. In step 2 signs of reduced well-being were observed in all test substance group animals some days after the end of the epicutaneous challenge exposure. The mean body weights were statistically significantly lower than those of the controls on Day 24.
