Vehicle:
unchanged (no vehicle)
Details on dermal exposure:
Four albino rabbits were used at each of four dosage levels. Individual doses were applied to the fur-clipped skin of the trunk under a pre-fitted occluding sleeve on each animal. The sleeves were renoved 24 hours later and surviving animals were observed for seven days.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
Category 4 based on GHS criteria
Executive summary:

In a pre-guideline study, groups of 4 albino rabbits were treated dermally under a pre-fitted occluding sleeve with 707, 1000, 1414 and 2000 mg/kg body weight of diethylhydroxylamine. The occluding sleeve was removed 24 hours following exposure and the animals were observed for 7 days. No rabbit died at 707 mg/kg/bw, at 1000 mg/kg bw, 1/4 rabbit died, at 1414 mg/kg bw, 2/4 rabbits died and at 2000 mg/kg bw, all rabbits died. The clinical signs observed were hypersensitivity, mydriasis, and incoordination prior to toxic incapacitation. The acute dermal LD50was 1300 mg/kg bw.
