Materials and methods

Type of study / information:
This systematic review is based on a PubMed search of articles published between January 2000 and September 2019 in English and German, and a manual search, related to the irritation potential of alcohol-based disinfectants restricted to n-propanol (1-propanol) and its structural isomer isopropanol (isopropyl alcohol, 2-propanol).
Endpoint addressed:
skin irritation / corrosion
Test guideline
Qualifier:
no guideline required

Test material

Constituent 1
Chemical structure
