Administrative data

Endpoint:
skin sensitisation: in vivo (non-LLNA)
Type of information:
experimental study
Adequacy of study:
key study
Study period:
June 23 - August 8, 1980
Reliability:
2 (reliable with restrictions)
Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
other: Optimization test without GLP. Neither OECD guidelines nor GLP (for non-pharmaceuticals) were were in place when the study was performed. The study was perfromed in a GLP lab (for pharmaceuticals) and is well documented. The test system is validated.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
sensitising
Remarks:
Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
Conclusions:
Under the experimental conditions employed, significant differences between the test group and the vehicle-treated controls were only seen after epidermal challenge application of the test material.
The test material is therefore considered to possess skin-sensitizing (contact allergenic) potential in albino-guinea pigs.
Executive summary:

Under the experimental conditions employed, significant differences between the test group and the vehicle-treated controls were only seen after epidermal challenge application of the test material.

The test material is therefore considered to possess skin-sensitizing (contact allergenic) potential in albino-guinea pigs.
