Abstract
Proactive identification of chemicals with skin sensitizing properties is a key toxicological endpoint within chemical safety assessment, as required by legislation for registration of chemicals. In order to meet demands of increased animal welfare and facilitate increased testing efficiency also in non-regulatory settings, considerable efforts have been made to develop non-animal approaches to replace current animal testing.
