Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
67/548/EEC: Skin irritation: no classification warranted
1272/2008/EC: Skin irritation: no classification warranted

In a OECD guideline and GLP compliant primary skin irritation test in rabbits, Hostaperm-Violett RL spez. (Pigment Violet 23) caused grade 0-2 erythema after 30-60 minutes, while neither erythema nor edema were observed 24, 48 and 72 hours after application of the test substance. Therefore, Hostaperm-Violett RL spez. (Pigment Violet 23) can be regarded as not skin irritating.
Executive summary:

The primary skin irritation potential of the test item was investigated according to OECD test guideline no. 404. The test item was applied by topical semi-occlusive application of 0.5 g to the intact flank of each of three young adult New Zealand White rabbits. The duration of treatment was four hours. The scoring of skin reactions was performed 30 - 60 min, 24, 48 and 72 hours after removal of the dressing. The mean score was calculated across 3 scoring times (24, 48 and 72 hours after patch removal) for each animal for erythema/eschar grades and for oedema grades, separately. The application of the test item to the skin resulted in mild, early-onset and transient signs of irritation such as erythema. These effects were reversible and were no longer evident 24 hours after treatment for all animals. Staining of the treated skin was noted in all animals throughout the whole study. No corrosive effects were noted on the treated skin of any animal at any of the measuring intervals and no clinical signs were observed. Thus, the test item did not induce significant or irreversible damage to the skin. Based upon the referred classification criteria (Commission Directive 84/449/EC of April 1984), the test item is considered to be "not irritating" to rabbit skin.
