[CHEMNAVI] Checklist for evaluation of developmental toxicity data and evidence of skin sensitization (Jul. 31, 2023)
[Industry Help Center Notice] Information on providing a checklist for evaluation of developmental toxicity data and evidence of skin sensitization (Jul. 31, 2023)
With the progress of the research project for hazard assessment utilizing non-experimental methods, the National Institute of Environmental Research, part of the Ministry of Environment, plans to classify the checklist for the weight of evidence assessment* of toxicity data for each item and publish it as a serial publication from this year to 2027.
* When evaluating chemical substances using multiple data such as alternatives to animal data, a method for determining which data is more important as evidence by considering test methods, the institution which performed the test, exposure routes, etc.
Following the guide to checking points and checklist for the assessment of weight of evidence of genotoxicity data published in 2022, we have prepared a checklist in the form of a booklet for registration agencies, chemical substance evaluators, etc. to quickly check whether any weight of evidence assessment items are missing while assessing the weight of evidence for skin sensitization and developmental toxicity data, based on the results of the project** undertaken for skin sensitization and developmental toxicity in 2020 and 2022. The booklet will be distributed to interested parties in the industry and evaluators, so please refer to it in the implementation of the system.
** Study on chemical substance hazard assessment using weight of evidence method(2020); and Study on hazard assessment using non-experimental methods(Ⅱ)(2022)
※ Even if the weight of evidence of skin sensitization or developmental toxicity data is evaluated according to this checklist and the registration application documents are prepared by reflecting this, if said data is insufficient to be used as implementation data for the chemical substance-related systems due to quality of referenced data, relevance of assumptions/logic, or details and transparency of the report, it may be necessary to supplement the data or conduct additional animal testing. Additionally, the attached data can be found at the National Chemicals Information System (ncis.nier.go.kr) or the Industry Help Center > Data Center > Guides/Practical Guides tab.
For details, please refer to the attached file.
