Principles of method if other than guideline:
5 male and 5 female Wistar rats were treated occlusively with a single application of 2000 mg/kg bw of 1,8-naphthylendiamine. The animals were observed for mortality, body weights and clinical signs through day 14. Gross pathological examinations were done on all animals sacrificed at the end of study.

Any other information on results incl. tables

No signs of systemic poisoning were observed and no skin changes were seen. Two male rats and one female rats showed a slight decrease in body weight during the 1st and 2nd study week, respectively. No deaths occured. None of the animals sacrificed at the end of the 14-day observation period showed any noticable gross pathological findings.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Executive summary:

Five male and five female Wistar rats were treated occlusively with a single application of 2000 mg/kg bw of 1,8-naphthylendiamine. The animals were observed for mortality, body weights and clinical signs through day 14. Gross pathological examinations were done on all animals sacrificed at the end of study. Necropsy records were prepared for all animals.

No death occured (LD50 > 2000 mg/kg bw). No signs of systemic poisoning were observed and no skin changes were seen. Two male rats and one female rats showed a slight decrease in body weight during the 1st and 2nd study week, respectively. None of the animals sacrificed at the end of the 14-day observation period showed any noticable gross pathological findings.
