Administrative data

Endpoint:
skin sensitisation: in vivo (non-LLNA)
Remarks:
in vivo
Type of information:
experimental study
Adequacy of study:
key study
Reliability:
2 (reliable with restrictions)
Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
other: Basic data given
Justification for type of information:
The study is well documented following general scientific practice.

Reference Type:
study report
Title:
Unnamed
Year:

Materials and methods

Test guideline
Qualifier:
no guideline followed
Principles of method if other than guideline:
The hair was removed from the back and flank areas as often as necessary. A solution was injected intracutaneously every other day until a total of 10 had been made. injections were made in the area of the flanks. Two weeks after the tenth injection, a retest injection was made. Twenty-four hours later readings were made.
GLP compliance:
no
Type of study:
not specified
Justification for non-LLNA method:
When the study was conducted, the LLNA-test was not the standard method. As the study is well-documented, it is still considered to be reliable.
