OECD Guidelines for the Testing of Chemicals, Section 4 Test No. 484: Genetic Toxicology: Mouse Spot Test


Book Description

The mouse spot test detects presumed somatic mutations in fetal cells following transplacental absorption of the test substance. This is an in vivo test in mice in which developing embryos are exposed to a chemical (solid, liquid, vapour or ...







OECD Guidelines for the Testing of Chemicals, Section 4: Health Effects Test No. 436: Acute Inhalation Toxicity – Acute Toxic Class Method


Book Description

The method described by this Test Guideline provides information that allows hazard assessment for short-term exposure to a test article by inhalation, and allows the substance to be classified according to the Globally Harmonized System of ...







OECD Guidelines for the Testing of Chemicals, Section 4 Test No. 433: Acute Inhalation Toxicity: Fixed Concentration Procedure


Book Description

This method provides information on health hazard likely to arise from short-term exposure to a test chemical by inhalation. It is a principle of the method that only moderately toxic concentrations are used so that ‘evident toxicity’, rather than death/moribundity is used as an endpoint, and ...




OECD Guidelines for the Testing of Chemicals, Section 4 Test No. 420: Acute Oral Toxicity - Fixed Dose Procedure


Book Description

A principle of the method is that in the main study only moderately toxic doses are used, and the administration of doses that are expected to be lethal should be avoided. This Guideline is intended primarily for use with rat. Groups of animals of a ...




OECD Guidelines for the Testing of Chemicals, Section 4 Test No. 453: Combined Chronic Toxicity/Carcinogenicity Studies


Book Description

The objective of a combined chronic toxicity/carcinogenicity study is to identify carcinogenic and the majority of chronic effects, and to determine dose-response relationships following prolonged and repeated exposure. The rat is typically used for ...

OECD Guidelines for the Testing of Chemicals, Section 4 Test No. 425: Acute Oral Toxicity: Up-and-Down Procedure


Book Description

The method permits estimation of an LD50 with a confidence interval and the results allow a substance to be classified for acute toxicity according to the Globally Harmonised System of classification and labelling of chemicals. It is easiest to ...
