OECD: Guidance Document on an Integrated Approach on Testing and Assessment (IATA) for Skin Corrosion and Irritation (2014)
Description:
This Guidance Document on Integrated Approach to Testing and Assessment for Skin Irritation and
Corrosion has two aims:
- It proposes an integrated approach on testing and assessment (IATA) for skin corrosion and
irritation, in view of replacing the "testing and evaluation strategy" which is currently provided in
the supplement to OECD TG 404 and which requires adaptation to scientific and technical
progress.
- It provides consistent information on key performance characteristics of each of the individual
information sources comprising the IATA, provides guidance on how to integrate information for
decision making within the approach (including decisions on the need for further testing) and on
integrating all existing and generated information on the corrosive and irritant hazard potential of test chemicals for final decisions for classification and labelling.
Why this Tool/Guidance?
This tool provides information on integrated approach to testing and assessment for skin irritation and corrosion.
