OECD 404: Acute skin irritation
经合组织404急性皮肤刺激试验提供了有关真皮应用的测试物质的健康危害,通常用于特定的农业化学或化学产品。
The OECD 439 In Vitro skin Irritation Test must be performed first to see whether it is necessary to perform the in vivo version (OECD 404). If more data are needed after the in vitro tests are completed, then the rabbit is the preferable model to produce similar hazard estimation to human skin.
Dermal irritation, signs of erythema/edema, lesion severity and levels of reversibility are evaluated. Should responses persist at the end of the observation period the test substance is considered an irritant.
