Administrative data

Endpoint:
skin sensitisation: in vivo (non-LLNA)
Type of information:
migrated information: read-across based on grouping of substances (category approach)
Adequacy of study:
weight of evidence
Study period:
01 Nov 1995 - 01 Dec 1995
Reliability:
2 (reliable with restrictions)
Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
other: GLP-guideline study with acceptable restrictions (during induction phase the scapolar region was treated instead of flank; during challenge the right and left top flank were treated with test substance; details on positive control not given)
