Materials and methods

Test guideline
Qualifier:
equivalent or similar to guideline
Guideline:
OECD Guideline 406 (Skin Sensitisation)
Deviations:
yes
Remarks:
lack of test material and study details, no reliability check
GLP compliance:
no
Type of study:
guinea pig maximisation test
Justification for non-LLNA method:
A non-LLNA test is available that was performed prior to the current data requirements, stipulated in Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006. In accordance with the same Regulation, the data were included to avoid unnecessary testing.
