Skin irritation / corrosion

Currently viewing:

Administrative data

Endpoint:
skin irritation: in vivo
Type of information:
experimental study
Adequacy of study:
supporting study
Study period:
From 16 Nov 1999 to 19 Nov 1999
Reliability:
1 (reliable without restriction)
Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
guideline study
Remarks:
The study was conducted according to an appropriate OECD test guideline, and in compliance with GLP. The test material was similar to the registered substance but contained a higher proportion of an S3 isomer. The original study and the read-across are considered to be reliability 2.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
A reliable study has been conducted in accordance with the OECD 404 and in compliance with GLP. The test material was similar to the registered substance but contained a higher proportion of an S3 isomer. The test material was found to be not irritating to the skin of rabbits.
