Administrative data

Endpoint:
skin irritation: in vivo
Type of information:
migrated information: read-across based on grouping of substances (category approach)
Adequacy of study:
key study
Study period:
17 - 20 Feb 1998
Reliability:
2 (reliable with restrictions)
Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
other: see 'Remark'
Remarks:
GLP - Guideline study. According to the ECHA guidance document "Practical guide 6: How to report read-across and categories (March 2010)", the reliability was changed from RL1 to RL2 to reflect the fact that this study was conducted on a read-across substance.

Irritant / corrosive response data:
3/3 animals had well-defined erythema at the 1-hr reading time point. The erythema had reduced in severity by 24 hours after exposure in 3/3 rabbits (score 1, 1, 1), and had cleared completely within 72 hours for 3/3 rabbits. No edema was observed in any animal at any time point (see Table 1).
Other effects:
There was no mortality, and no clinical signs were observed during the study period.
