Acute Toxicity: dermal
Administrative data
- Endpoint:
- acute toxicity: dermal
- Type of information:
- experimental study
- Adequacy of study:
- other information
- Reliability:
- 3 (not reliable)
- Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
- other: Study of Industrial Bio-Test Laboratories (IBT).
- Remarks:
- A routine inspection by FDA at Industrial Bio-Test laboratories (IBT) in 1976 uncovered numerous discrepancies between raw data and study reports, and gross deficiencies in study conduct; mainly in non-acute studies, but also in acute toxicity studies. Thus, study reports from IBT between the 1960´s and until 1978 should be taken with care. An important consideration is the consistency of the findings from the IBT study with findings from other studies that were conducted at reputable test houses at a later date to the IBT study (to rule out the possibility of data being manipulated by IBT to be consistent with existing data).
