Endpoint summary
Administrative data
Description of key information
In a semi-occlusive skin irritation study conducted on rabbits according to OECD 404, tungsten carbide (WC) elicited no dermal irritation. In an eye irritation study conducted on rabbits according to OECD 405, instillation of WC into the rabbit elicited transient very slight to well-defined conjunctival irritation only. Based on the results of this study, WC can be considered as non-irritant.
Key value for chemical safety assessment
Skin irritation / corrosion

- Endpoint:
- skin irritation: in vitro / ex vivo
- Data waiving:
- study scientifically not necessary / other information available
- Justification for data waiving:
- an in vitro skin irritation study does not need to be conducted because adequate data from an in vivo skin irritation study are available
- Justification for type of information:
- Data waiving
Reason: Study scientifically not necessary
Justification: An in vitro skin irritation study does not need to be conducted because adequate data from an in vivo skin irritation study are available.
