Description / Abstract:
This test method describes a procedure for the assessment and
evaluation of the toxic
characteristics of a test substance that is applied daily to the skin
of experimental animals for
90 days.
This test method is not capable of determining effects that have a
long latency period (for
example, carcinogenicity) or are life shortening.
This test method is intended primarily to be used with rats, guinea
pigs, or rabbits. Other species
may be used with appropriate modifications.
This standard does not purport to address the safety concerns, if any,
associated with its use. It
is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish
appropriate safety and health
practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations
prior to use.
