Materials and methods

Principles of method if other than guideline:

BASF test (Inhalation hazard test)
The test was performed in priniple as described in OECD Guideline 403. The test demonstrates the toxicity of an atmosphere saturated with vapours of the volatile components of a test substance at the temerature chosen for vapour generation (20°C). 3 rats per sex were exposed sequentially to the vapours, generated by bubbling 200 l/h air through a substance column of about 5 cm above a fritted gassdisc in a glass cylinder for 8h. The documentation of clinical signs was performed over a period of 7 days. In order toverify the results, the test was repeated once.
