Toxicological information

Skin sensitisation

Currently viewing:

Administrative data

Endpoint:
skin sensitisation: in vivo (non-LLNA)
Type of information:
experimental study
Adequacy of study:
key study
Study period:
August 1982
Reliability:
2 (reliable with restrictions)
Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
study well documented, meets generally accepted scientific principles, acceptable for assessment

Data source

Reference
Reference Type:
study report
Title:
Unnamed
Year:
1982
Report date:
1982

Materials and methods

Principles of method if other than guideline:
Method: other: variation of Magnusson and Kligman method
GLP compliance:
no
Type of study:
guinea pig maximisation test
Justification for non-LLNA method:
An LLNA study was not performed because there is an existing reliable study for skin sensitisation using the Guinea Pig Maximisation test method.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
In a guinea-pig maximisation study (reliability score 2), not conducted to GLP, sodium salt of HEDP was not sensitising to the skin.
