Skin irritation / corrosion

Currently viewing:

Administrative data

Endpoint:
skin irritation: in vivo
Type of information:
experimental study
Adequacy of study:
supporting study
Study period:
Not reported
Reliability:
4 (not assignable)
Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
other: The study report is presented in an abstract; very little information is available regarding the method of exposure. It is therefore not possible to assess the accuracy of the data.

Results and discussion

In vivo

Results
Remarks on result:
other: Under the conditions of the study, the test material was shown to cause a severe reaction to the skin, leaving chemical like burns.
Irritant / corrosive response data:
Exposure to the test material resulted in moderate to severe chemical burns.
Other effects:
The LD50 of the test material was greater than 1000 mg/kg bw.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
highly corrosive
Remarks:
Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: expert judgment
Conclusions:
Under the conditions of the study, the test material was shown to cause a severe reaction to the skin, leaving chemical like burns.
Executive summary:

The irritation potential of the test material to the skin was determined in an unspecified species of rabbit. The study records that moderate to severe chemical burns were caused as a result of dermal exposure over a 24 hour period. There is no available information regarding the methods used, so it is not possible to assess the accuracy of the data from the available information.
