Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
not irritating
Remarks:
Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
Conclusions:
The substance 7-Amino-4-hydroxy-2-naphthalenesulfonic acid 7-Amino-4-hydroxy-2-naphthalenesulfonic acid (CAS No: 87-02-5) was considered to be not irritating to rabbit skin.
Executive summary:

The skin irritation test was performed in 2 New Zealand White rabbits (male and female) to assess the skin irritation potency of test chemical 7-Amino-4-hydroxy-2-naphthalenesulfonic acid (CAS No: 87-02-5) for the observation period of 7 days.

 

In this skin irritation study, approx. 500 mg 7-amino-4-hydroxy-2-naphthalenesulfonic acid was applied to the inner surface of the ears of 2 rabbits. The test chemical was applied under an adhesive dressing for 24 hours.

 

At the end of the exposure period, the test substance was washed off with water and soap/vegetable oil. The observation period was 7 days.

 

No skin irritation was observed after 7 days.Hence the test chemical 7-Amino-4-hydroxy-2-naphthalenesulfonic acid (CAS No: 87-02-5)

can be considered as non-irritant to rabbit skin
