Materials and methods

Test guideline
Qualifier:
equivalent or similar to guideline
Guideline:
other: vitro method test according to the Official Joirnal of the Republic of France (n° 300). December, 26, 1996.
Principles of method if other than guideline:
The principle is based on the observation of the irritant effects (hyperemia, hemorrhage, coagulation) which may occur wuthin five minutes after placing a test item onto the chorio-allantoic membrane (CAM) of an embryonated henn egg, on the tenth day of incubation. Depending on the presence of these effects and their appearance time, a score is established. The mean scores obtained from four eggs allows to note the test item and to classify according to its irritant potential.
GLP compliance:
yes (incl. QA statement)
