Toxicological information

Skin irritation / corrosion

Currently viewing:

Administrative data

Endpoint:
skin irritation: in vivo
Type of information:
experimental study
Adequacy of study:
key study
Study period:
November , 1973
Reliability:
2 (reliable with restrictions)
Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
study well documented, meets generally accepted scientific principles, acceptable for assessment
Remarks:
Non-GLP. Conducted to a recognised methodology; however lack of full assessment data and age of report results in deficient study. Therefore it is considered that this data can be utilised in conjunction with other skin data as a weight of evidence approach, on animal welfare grounds. This study is proposed as the key study, as the results are conducted on the substance alone to a recognised test method.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
No effects were displayed in any of the 6 test animals used, hence it is concluded that the test material is not corrosive to rabbit skin.
Executive summary:

No erythema or edema was observed at 4, 24, or 48 hours. Skin corrosion was not observed in any of the animals. According to the regulations of the Department of Transportation, 4,4’-oxydianiline was not considered a corrosive material.
