Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.

The new ECHA CHEM database has been released by ECHA, and it now contains all REACH registration data. There are more details on the transition of ECHA's published data to ECHA CHEM here.

Workers - Hazard for the eyes

Additional information - workers

Corrosive and irritant effects of substances on the skin and eye, as well as in the respiratory tract are usually concentration-dependent. The substance is only classified as a skin irritant on the basis of histopathological results, and, based on the potential to cause staining, also a severe eye irritant (although severe effects do not occur, staining of the eye will occur with exposure). As such, both studies are deemed to be acute. DNELs specifically for irritation/corrosion can only be derived if dose-response information is available, but there is no data available to assess this endpoint. It is not considered appropriate to assess this hazard type by further testing on animals, given that exposure considerations for skin and eye exposure in the dyeing industry where the substance is used can be stated as negligible and prevented. It is therefore the consideration of the registrant that quantitative local effects based on animal data cannot be conducted on the basis of irritation alone. Qualitative assessments of acute/short term and long term effects have instead be conducted, based on the data available.

It should also be noted that due to the chemical reaction of the dye with the cotton / fabric during the dyeing process, the substance is covalently bound to the textile. It is therefore unlikely that the consumer is exposed to the dye from contact to the dyed textile. For home-dyeing, consumer use is restricted to dyeing with the washing machine (closed system) as per the recommended instructions and given that the substance may stain the skin. The preparation provided for home-dyeing is designed in a way that exposure of the consumer to the powder can be excluded.
