Administrative data

Endpoint:
skin irritation: in vivo
Type of information:
experimental study
Adequacy of study:
weight of evidence
Reliability:
3 (not reliable)
Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
other: A guideline has been followed and the study is GLP compliant. However, the data in the migrated NONS file is deficient, and the study has not been seen to confirm quality.

Other effects:
There were no appreciable differences in the severity of the reaction on abraded and non-abraded skin. In addition to erythema and oedema, skin blanching was seen at 24 hours.
The severity of the reaction increased up to 72 hours, at which point all animals showed crusting indicative of corrosion. It would appear that the study was terminated at 72 hours.
