Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.

The new ECHA CHEM database has been released by ECHA, and it now contains all REACH registration data. There are more details on the transition of ECHA's published data to ECHA CHEM here.

- Amount applied: 0.3 mL
Duration of treatment / exposure:
single application
Observation period (in vivo):
3.5 minutes
Number of animals or in vitro replicates:
3 eggs
Details on study design:
SCORING SYSTEM:
After application of the test substance the chorionallantoic membrane was observed by means of a stereomicroscope until unambiguous irritation
reactions were detected or up to a maximum time period of 3.5 minutes, respectively.
The time of appearance (in seconds after application) of intravascular resp. extravascular coagulation and, if applicable, other reactions
(haemorrhagia, vessel lysis) were determined.

The evaluation of the reactions was performed according to the following grading:
0 = no visible change
1 = slight reaction
2 = moderate reaction
3 = severe reaction

TOOL USED TO ASSESS SCORE: stereomicroscope
