Materials and methods

Test guidelineopen allclose all
Qualifier:
according to guideline
Guideline:
other: modified method of Ritz, H.L. and Buehler, E.V. Current Concepts in Cutaneous Toxicity, ed. Drill, V.A. and Lazor, T. (Academics Press, 1980, pp. 25 - 40).
Qualifier:
according to guideline
Guideline:
OECD Guideline 406 (Skin Sensitisation)
GLP compliance:
yes
Type of study:
Buehler test
Justification for non-LLNA method:
A valid Buehler test conducted according to guideline is available, which is reliable with restrictions and adequate for classification and labelling purposes. Potency estimation is not mandatory when existing guideline and GLP conforming data are available, which were conducted before the new annex of the REACH Regulation entered into force. Moreover, no indication for skin sensitisation was observed in this study, thus, no dose response information is needed. For this reason and for reasons of animal welfare no additional LLNA was conducted.
