Details on dermal exposure:

Approximately 24 h before treatment, the backs of the animals were shaved with an electric clipper, exposing an area of approximately 10 % of the total body surface. On test day 1, 4 mL at 2000 mg/kg test article was applied evenly on the skin with a syringe and covered with a semi-occlusive dressing. The dressing was wrapped around the abdomen and fixed with an elastic adhesive bandage. Twenty-four hours after the application, the dressing was removed. The treated skin was washed with lukewarm tap water and dried with disposable paper towels and the skin reaction was assessed.

Additional information

Acute oral toxicity:

In a GLP-compliant oral toxicity study, performed according to OECD guideline 401, A group of Wistar rats (5/sex) were administered the test substance (2000 mg/kg bw) by oral gavage followed by a 14-day observation period (RCC 1990). No mortality andmacroscopical changes were observed. However, only diarrhea was observed on day one of the observation period. Based on the study results it is concluded that, the median lethal dose (LD50) of FAT 40406/A is greater than 2000 mg/kg in Wistar rats.

 

Acute inhalation toxicity:

Currently no study to assess the acute inhalation toxicity potential of Reactive Red 245 is available. However, the vapour pressure for the substance can be considered low owing to the high melting point (>300 °C). Hence the substance is considered to have low volatility. Synthesis and spray drying of this chemical is performed in a closed process; the final product consists of non-dusty granules. Hence, the use of this substance will not result in aerosols, particles or droplets of an inhalable size, so exposure to humans via the inhalation route will be unlikely to occur. Based on column 2, ‘Specific rules for adaptation from column 1’ of the table given in REACH Annex VII, the study on acute inhalation toxicity only needs to be conducted if an exposure via inhalation is to be expected, based on vapour pressure and/or the likelihood of an exposure to aerosols, particles or droplets. Referring to the expected low volatility of the substance, the fact that the substance is imported into the EU in a formulated form as liquid formulation, the exposure via inhalation is considered to be unlikely. Further, in the case the substance entering the respiratory tract, it will be trapped in the mucus and cleared, thereby further limiting the absorption. The chemical showed low toxicity potential in the available acute oral and dermal toxicity studies (LD₅₀>2000 mg/kg bw), with no mortality or systemic toxicity being seen upto 2000 mg/kg bw, hence it does not need to be classified STOT SE. Taking into consideration the above arguments, low toxicity potential is expected on acute exposure of Reactive Red 245 via inhalation route and hence testing by the inhalation route was considered scientifically not necessary.

 

Acute dermal toxicity:

In a GLP-compliant dermal toxicity study, performed according to OECD guideline 402, A group of Wistar rats (5/sex) were administered the test substance (2000 mg/kg bw) (RCC 1990). The test substance was dissolved in polyethylene glycol and applied on the skin with a syringe and covered with a semi-occlusive dressing for 24 hours. The treated skin was washed after 24 hours and a 14-day observation period followed. No mortality was observed during this period. Discoloration of the skin was observed during the whole study period. No macroscopic findings were noted. Therefore, the toxicity of the test substance was estimated to be >2000 mg/kg bw.

Justification for classification or non-classification

Based on the observed LD₅₀ of >2000 mg/kg bw in the acute oral and dermal toxicity studies, Reactive Red 245 does not need to be classified according to according to the EU Classification, Labelling and Packaging of Substances and Mixtures (CLP) Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008.
