Administrative data

Endpoint:
skin sensitisation, other
Remarks:
The study is non-LLNA as it is the only study already available based on literature already published.
Type of information:
experimental study
Adequacy of study:
key study
Study period:
1975-1978
Reliability:
2 (reliable with restrictions)
Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
other: Due to absence of information on number of animal reliability category according to Klimisch is 3 (red score). Evaluator proposal is 2 (“reliable with restrictions”) because number of animals in compliance with method can be various.
