Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.

The new ECHA CHEM database has been released by ECHA, and it now contains all REACH registration data. There are more details on the transition of ECHA's published data to ECHA CHEM here.

Reference Type:
study report
Title:
Unnamed
Year:
1991
Report date:

Materials and methods

Test guideline
Qualifier:
no guideline available
Principles of method if other than guideline:
The study report contains the limited information on the test conditions because the study has been performed in 1991 . However available information is sufficient to conclude on the classification of the substance. Further the test was performed on the vertebrates and use of results from old experimental studies is one of the options to provide information requested by REACH. New experimental studies with vertebrates must only be conducted if there is no adequate existing information.
GLP compliance:
no
Test type:
fixed dose procedure
