Test animals

Species:
rabbit
Strain:
New Zealand White
Details on test animals or test system and environmental conditions:
All animals were housed singly in stainless steel, wire-mesh cages suspended above cage boards.
Animal rooms were maintained at a temperature of 16-22°C and a relative humidity of 30-70%.
Animal rooms were artificially illuminated (fluorescent light) on an approximate 12-hour light/dark cycle.
The rabbits were offered approximately 125 grams of PMI® Nutrition International, LLC Certified Rabbit LabDiet® 5322 daily during the study. Water was available ad libitum.

Test system

Type of coverage:
semiocclusive
Preparation of test site:
shaved
Vehicle:
water
Remarks:
deionized
Controls:
no
Amount / concentration applied:
0.5 g of bromacil, moistened with 0.4 mL of deionized water to form a thick paste
Duration of treatment / exposure:
4 h
Observation period:
60 minutes after removal of the test patches, the test sites were evaluated.
Additional evaluations were made at approximately 24, 48, and 72 hours after removal of the patches.
Number of animals:
3 female rabbits

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
The objective of this study was to evaluate the skin irritation/corrosive potential and the reversibility of dermal effects of bromacil following a 4-hour dermal exposure in albino rabbits.
The rabbits exhibited no dermal irritation during the study. No clinical signs of toxicity were observed, and no body weight loss occurred.
