Administrative data

Endpoint:
skin irritation: in vivo
Type of information:
experimental study
Adequacy of study:
key study
Study period:
1978
Reliability:
2 (reliable with restrictions)
Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
other: see 'Remark'
Remarks:
The study has been performed before GLP guidelines and OECD guidelines were in place for industrial chemicals. The study has been performed in a lab experienced to work under GLP for pharmaceuticals. The test method is similar to the later used OECD guideline method.
