OECD Guidelines for the Testing of Chemicals, Section 4 Test No. 427: Skin Absorption: In Vivo Method


Book Description

The in vivo percutaneous absorption study set out in this Test Guideline provides the linkage necessary to extrapolate from oral studies when making safety assessments following dermal exposure. The in vivo method, described in this guideline ...




OECD Guidelines for the Testing of Chemicals, Section 4 Test No. 428: Skin Absorption: In Vitro Method


Book Description

This Test method has been designed to provide information on absorption of a test substance, (ideally radiolabelled), applied to the surface of a skin sample separating the two chambers (a donor chamber and a receptor chamber) of a diffusion cell ...




OECD Guidelines for the Testing of Chemicals, Section 4 Test No. 439: In Vitro Skin Irritation: Reconstructed Human Epidermis Test Method


Book Description

This Test Guideline describes an in vitro procedure that may be used for the hazard identification of irritant chemicals (substances and mixtures) in accordance with the UN Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labelling (GHS) Category 2.




OECD Guidelines for the Testing of Chemicals, Section 4 Test No. 404: Acute Dermal Irritation/Corrosion


Book Description

This method provides information on health hazard likely to arise from exposure to liquid or solid test substance by dermal application. It recommends sequential testing strategies, which include the performance of validated and accepted in vitro or ex vivo tests for corrosion/irritation.







OECD Guidelines for the Testing of Chemicals, Section 4 Test No. 411: Subchronic Dermal Toxicity: 90-day Study


Book Description

This study relates to the analysis, via dermal application, of the health hazards of solid or liquid test substance. It may be carried out after initial information obtained by acute testing. This method is composed of the main test and the limit ...




OECD Guidelines for the Testing of Chemicals, Section 4 Test No. 442D: In Vitro Skin Sensitisation Assays addressing the Adverse Outcome Pathway Key Event on Keratinocyte activation


Book Description

This Test Guideline (TG) provides an in vitro procedure (the ARE-Nrf2 luciferase test method) used for supporting the discrimination between skin sensitisers and non-sensitisers in accordance with the UN GHS.




OECD Guidelines for the Testing of Chemicals, Section 4 Test No. 435: In Vitro Membrane Barrier Test Method for Skin Corrosion


Book Description

This updated Test Guideline 435 provides an in vitro membrane barrier test method that can be used to identify corrosive chemicals. The test method utilizes an artificial membrane designed to respond to corrosive chemicals in a manner similar to animal skin in situ.




OECD Guidelines for the Testing of Chemicals, Section 4 Test No. 431: In vitro skin corrosion: reconstructed human epidermis (RHE) test method


Book Description

The test described in this Test Guideline allows the identification of corrosive chemical substances and mixtures and it enables the identification of non-corrosive substances and mixtures when supported by a weight of evidence determination using other existing information.




OECD Guidelines for the Testing of Chemicals, Section 4 Test No. 442C: In Chemico Skin Sensitisation Assays addressing the Adverse Outcome Pathway key event on covalent binding to proteins


Book Description

This Test Guideline addresses the human health hazard endpoint skin sensitisation, following exposure to a test chemical. It provides an in chemico procedure (Direct Peptide Reactivity Assay – DPRA) used for supporting the discrimination between skin sensitisers and non-sensitisers.
