Administrative data

Endpoint:
acute toxicity: dermal
Type of information:
experimental study
Adequacy of study:
key study
Reliability:
2 (reliable with restrictions)
Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
other: see 'Remark'
Remarks:
Non-GLP study that meets key elements of current OECD 402 guideline with some notable restrictions (8 day observation instead of 14, skin surface area <10%). Suitable for use in classification if dermal absorption rate and oral toxicity taken into account.
