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.




Test No. 435: In Vitro Membrane Barrier Test Method for Skin Corrosion


Book Description

This Test Guideline is for an in vitro membrane barrier test method that can be used to identify corrosive substances. The test method utilizes an artificial membrane designed to respond to corrosive substances in a manner similar to animal skin in ...




OECD Guidelines for the Testing of Chemicals, Section 4 Test No. 430: In Vitro Skin Corrosion: Transcutaneous Electrical Resistance Test Method (TER)


Book Description

This Test Guideline addresses the human health endpoint skin corrosion. It is based on the rat skin transcutaneous electrical resistance (TER) test method, which utilizes skin discs to identify corrosives by their ability to produce a loss of normal stratum corneum integrity and barrier function.




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. 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. 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. 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 ...




Test No. 430: In Vitro Skin Corrosion: Transcutaneous Electrical Resistance Test (TER)


Book Description

The Globally Harmonised System for the Classification and Labelling of Chemicals defines skin corrosion as the production of irreversible tissue damage in the skin following the application of a test material. The test material (150 μL for liquids ...
