Acute Toxicity Test (Mandatory SIAA test item)
For acute toxicity testing, there are oral toxicity tests, percutaneous toxicity tests, and respiratory toxicity tests. As a rule, the type of test conducted is selected based on the type of exposure the test substance may have.
This test administers a single dose or a repeated dose of the test substance to the test animals over a short period of time.
The symptoms, weight changes, physiological changes are examined at this time to elucidate the qualitative and quantitative toxicity characteristics of the test substance.
