Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Type of study:
Buehler test
Justification for non-LLNA method:
This study was conducted due to non-REACH regulatory requirements. With the existing data from this study not only being acceptable but of good quality (Klimisch Score 1), this study precludes the need for an additional LLNA study. In addition, a supplementary LLNA study would violate the ECHA objectives with regards to animal welfare.

Day 0, Day 6, Day 13/6 hours
Adequacy of induction:
highest concentration used causing mild-to-moderate skin irritation and well-tolerated systemically
Challenge
No.:
#1
Route:
epicutaneous, occlusive
Vehicle:
other: liquid paraffin
Concentration / amount:

Day(s)/duration:
28 / 6 hours
Adequacy of challenge:
highest non-irritant concentration
No. of animals per dose:
treatment group: 20 animals
Details on study design:
RANGE FINDING TESTS: This test was carried out with a reduced animal’s number, for the purpose of determining the maximal item concentrations without risk of an irritant effect during the challenge phase. The animals treated at the concentrations of 60%, 40%, 20% and 10% received 0.5 g of the corresponding preparation.
