Line of evidence | Question 1. Hazard identification | Question 2. Hazard characterisation | Answer |
---|---|---|---|
In vitro experimental studies | Is the measured endpoint affected in a concentration‐response relationship in the evaluated study? | What is the lowest concentration at which exposure affects the endpoint? | (Q1. Yes/No + Q2. Lowest concentration/dose) + summary of the uncertainties for the assessment endpoint category |
In vivo experimental studies | Is the measured endpoint affected in a dose–response relationship in the evaluated study? | What is the lowest dose at which exposure affects the endpoint? |
