Administrative data

Endpoint:
skin sensitisation: in vivo (non-LLNA)
Type of information:
experimental study
Adequacy of study:
key study
Study period:
01 Feb - 22 Apr 1994
Reliability:
2 (reliable with restrictions)
Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
other: GLP-Guideline study with acceptable restrictions (no analysis of the test substance, no data on positive controls, challenge on both flanks)

Materials and methods

Test guideline
Qualifier:
according to guideline
Guideline:
OECD Guideline 406 (Skin Sensitisation)
Version / remarks:
Buehler Test
Deviations:
yes
Remarks:
no analysis of the test substance, no data on positive controls, challenge on both flanks
GLP compliance:
yes
Type of study:
Buehler test
Justification for non-LLNA method:
A valida Buehler study was available before REACh came into force, therefore no additional LLNA test was conducted.
