Table 5 OECDs reporting requirements, modified evaluation criteria/questions concerning test substance, and summary of the evaluation results.
Evaluation method | Evaluation criteria/question | Type of criteria/mark | Summary of evaluation results |
|---|---|---|---|
Klimisch et al. | Specification of the test substance (purity, by-products). | Recommended | Purity is not stated in six studies, by-products are not stated in any of these studies. |
Data on neutralization of samples (for basic or acid substances). | Recommended | Not stated in any of these studies. | |
Use of emulgators/solubilizers. | Recommended | Not stated in any of these studies. | |
Durda and Preziosi | Chemical species noted. | Recommended | Stated in all studies. |
Chemical source noted. | Recommended | Not stated in one study. | |
Purity/stability noted. | Recommended | Purity is not stated in six studies, stability is not stated in any of these studies. | |
Vehicle described (if used). | Recommended | Not stated in four studies. | |
Hobbs et al. | Were analytical reagent grade chemicals or the highest possible purity chemicals used for the experiment? | 0 or 3 | Not stated in six studies. |
Schneider et al. | Is information on the source/origin of the substance given? | Recommended, 0, or 1 | Not stated in one study. |
Was the test substance identified? | Mandatory, 0, or 1 | Stated in all studies. | |
Is the purity of the substance given? | Recommended, 0, or 1 | Not stated in six studies. | |
Is all information on the nature and/or physicochemical properties of the test item given, which you deem indispensable for judging the data? | Recommended, 0, or 1 | Not stated in five studies. | |
OECD guidelines | Chemical identification data (e.g., CAS Number); physical nature and relevant physical-chemical properties; water solubility; purity; stability; suspended solids. | Mandatory | The non-standard studies were not evaluated according to the OECD reporting requirements. |
