Group size and husbandry
The test was performed on 3 male rabbits, checked for normal skin conditions, weighing between 2320 to 2530 g. The animals were housed individually in metal cages, identified by ear tattoo, kept at a constant room temperature of 20 ± 3 °C, at a relative humidity of 30-70 % and on a 12 hours light cycle day. The rabbits received ad libitum standard rabbit pellet - Nafag No. 814, Gossau, Switzerland - and fresh water. All batches of the diet are assayed for nutritive ingredients and contaminant level by the manufacturer. Analytical results are available at the animal supply office. The drinking water quality fulfilled the critical parameters in the specifications of the "Schweizerisches Lebensmittelbuch" (Edition 1972). The results of the routine chemical examination of water at source (Grundwasserfassung Stein) as conducted periodically by the water authority (Baudepartement des Kantons Aargau, Abteilung Gewaesserschütz) are available to CIBA-GEIGY Limited, as well as the results of inhouse chemical analysis by the analytical laboratories of the Pharmaceutical Division, CIBA-GEIGY Limited. - Type of coverage:

- Vehicle:
- other: 0.5 % (w/v) Carboxymethylcellulose in 0.1% (w/v) aqueous polysorbate 80.
- Controls:
- other: The contrelateral flank of each rabbit served as control.
- Amount / concentration applied:
- 0.5 g of FAT 36038/F
- Duration of treatment / exposure:
- 4 hours
- Observation period:
- 72 hours; the skin reactions were evaluated 1, 24, 48, 72 hours after removing the gauze patches.
- Number of animals:
- 3 male rabbits
- Details on study design:
- An area of at least 36 sq cm was shaved on both flanks of the animals approximately 24 hours before treatment. A gauze patch (approx. 12-16 sq cm) bearing 0.5 g of the test article was applied to the right flank of each animal. The skin area exposed directly to the test article was approx. 6 sq cm.
A control gauze patch was applied to the contralateral flank. Before application both patches were moistened with 0.5 % (w/v) carboxymethylcellulose in 0.1 % (w/v) aqueous polysorbate 80.
The patches were loosely covered with an aluminum foil (approx. 36 sq cm) and held in place for 4 hours by an adhesive tape (Isoplast, Isoplast AG, CH-5200 Brugg).
The animals were checked daily for systemic symptoms and mortality (only findings reported).
The skin reactions were evaluated 1, 24, 48, and 72 hours after removing the gauze patches according to the OECD scoring system.

- Executive summary:
An acute skin irritiation / corrosion study in albino rabbits was performed to determine the irritant or corrosive potency of FAT 36038/F on the albino rabbit skin. This test was based on the OECD Guideline No. 404, adopted by the OECD council, and 79/831/EEC (Commission May 12, 1981, adapted July 17, 1992 on Annex V, part B of Council Directive Directive 92/69/EEC of July 31, 1992).
Three male rabbits were used for the experiment. An area of at least 36 cm² was shaved on both flanks of the animals approximately 24 hours before treatment. A gauze patch bearing 0.5 g of the test article was applied to the right flank of each animal. A control gauze patch was applied to the contralateral flank. Before application both patches were moistened with 0.5 % (w/v) carboxymethylcellulose in 0.1 % (w/v) aqueous polysorbate 80.
The skin reactions were evaluated 1, 24, 48, and 72 hours after removing the gauze patches according to the OECD scoring system.
Under the experimental conditions employed FAT 36038/F induced slight erythema reactions in one animal only when applied to the clipped albino rabbit skin. The reactions were observed only one hour after removing the bandages.
Because the mean values of the recordings 24 to 72 hours after application are scored zero, FAT 36038/F can be classified as non-irritant.

- Details on study design:
- 0.1 ml (62 mg) of FAT 36038/F was placed into the conjunctival sac of the left eye of each animal, after gently pulling away the lower lid from the eyeball. The lids were then held together for about one second in order to prevent loss of the test article. The right eye remained untreated and served as a control. The animals were checked daily for systemic symptoms and mortality (only findings reported). The ocular reactions were evaluated 1, 24, 48, and 72 hours after the instillation of FAT 36038/F according to the OECD scoring system. In order to determine the reversibility of the eye reactions additional evaluations of the ocular reactions were needed in this study. A slit-lamp was used to facilitate the evaluation.

- Executive summary:
The Acute Eye Irritation/Corrosion study in albino rabbits was performed to determine the irritant or corrosive potency of FAT 36038/F in the albino rabbit eye and the associated mucous membranes. This test was based on the OECD Guideline No. 405, adopted February 24, 1987, by the OECD council, and on Annex V, part B of Council Directive 79/831/EEC (Commission Directive 92/69/EEC of July 31, 1992). The lids were held together for about one second in order to prevent loss of the test article. The right eye remained untreated and served as a control. The animals were checked daily for systemic symptoms and mortality. The ocular reactions were evaluated 1, 24, 48, and 72 hours after the instillation of FAT 36038/F according to the OECD scoring system. A slit-lamp was used to facilitate the evaluation. No corneal opacity was observed with any of the exposed animals. Slight irritation reactions with iris and chemosis was seen at 1 hour after the exposure, however these reactions were reversed by 24 hours. Slight conjunctival redness was seen in all three exposed animals, which was found to have reversed by 72 hours. Hence, based on the findings of the study, FAT 36038/F induced reactions of the iris and conjunctiva when instilled, into the conjunctival sac of albino rabbits' eyes. Because the mean values of the readings 24 to 72 hours after instillation are below the threshold of significance, FAT 36038/F can be classified as non-irritant.

Additional information
Skin irritation:
Several studies conducted to assess the skin irritation potential of Disperse Violet 57 are available. In the study considered to be the key one, the procedure adopted was based on the OECD Guideline No. 404, adopted by the OECD council, and 79/831/EEC (Commission May 12, 1981, adapted July 17, 1992 on Annex V, part B of Council Directive 92/69/EEC of July 31, 1992). Six rabbits (3 males/3 females) of the Russian breed were used in the occlusive patch test. FAT 36038 was applied to each side in quantities of 0.5 g. Before application both patches were moistened with 0.5 % (w/v) carboxy methylcellulose in 0.1 % (w/v) aqueous polysorbate 80.The gauze patches were removed 2 4 hours after the application. The reaction of the skin was appraised upon removal and 72 hours after it. The primary irritation index as the measure of the acute irritation to the skin of rabbits was found to be 0. Therefore, FAT 36038 is to be considered as non-irritant to the skin of rabbits. Several other studies are available and included in the dossier also point to Disperse Violet 57 being a non-irritant to the skin.
Eye irritation:
Several studies conducted to assess the eye irritation potential of Disperse Violet 57 are available. To assess the acute eye irritation potential of FAT 36038/F when exposed to rabbit eye, the key study was based on the OECD Guideline No. 405, adopted February 24, 1987, by the OECD council, and on Annex V, part B of Council Directive 79/831/EEC (Commission Directive 92/69/EEC of July 31, 1992). The substance was tested on 6 rabbits (3 males/3 females) of the Russian breed. Amounts of 0.1 g of the test substance were introduced into the conjunctival sac of the left eye with a spatula. After application, their eyelids were held open for a few seconds. The right eye served as a control. The treated eyes of three rabbits were each rinsed with 10 ml lukewarm water about 30 seconds after treatment. The ocular reactions were evaluated 1, 24, 48, and 72 hours after the instillation of FAT 36038/F according to the OECD scoring system. A slit-lamp was used to facilitate the evaluation. The primary-irritation index, which serves as a measure of the acute irritation provoked by the substance, was found to be 0 for the cornea, 0 for the iris and 0 for the conjunctivae. Therefore, FAT 36038 is to be considered as a non-irritant to the eye of rabbits. The test results from several other in vivo studies performed to assess the irritation potential, also suggest Disperse Violet 57 to be non-irritant to eyes of rabbit.
Justification for classification or non-classification
Based on the findings of the skin and eye irritation studies, Disperse Violet 057 does not need to be classified according to Directive 67/548/EEC and according to EU Classification, Labelling and Packaging of Substances and Mixtures (CLP) Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008.
