Administrative data

Endpoint:
skin irritation: in vivo
Type of information:
experimental study
Adequacy of study:
supporting study
Study period:
2012
Reliability:
2 (reliable with restrictions)
Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
other: see 'Remark'
Remarks:
A reliable secondary source, summaring 2-mercaptobenzimidazole properties, was used. However, the primary sources were not revisited in order to verify their contents; for this reason reliability score 2 was used. The used secondary source has been updated on 2012; therefore it covers the most updated literature on the substance.
