Administrative data

Endpoint:
skin sensitisation: in vivo (non-LLNA)
Type of information:
experimental study
Adequacy of study:
key study
Study period:
1977
Reliability:
2 (reliable with restrictions)
Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
other: non guideline, non-GLP, but with sufficient reporting detail to accept the positive result
Cross-reference
Reason / purpose for cross-reference:
reference to same study

Materials and methods

Test guideline
Qualifier:
equivalent or similar to guideline
Guideline:
OECD Guideline 406 (Skin Sensitisation)
Deviations:
yes
Remarks:
A reliability check was not included; this is not necessary in light of the positive result. The test material was not characterised.
GLP compliance:
no
Type of study:
guinea pig maximisation test
Justification for non-LLNA method:
An guinea pig maximisatoin test is used. Due to animal welfare no LLNA test system was conducted.
