Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Skin sensitisation

Endpoint conclusion
Endpoint conclusion:
no adverse effect observed (not sensitising)
Additional information:

In the GPMT 3 groups of experimental animals were randomly established for the main test: one test substance group consisting of 20 animals (no 21 to 40) and 2 control groups consisting of 10 animals each (no 1 to 10, and 11 to 20). The following test compound concentrations were used in this test: Intradermal induction: 2.5 %; topical induction: 25 %; challenge: 25 %.

The test concentrations were determined in a dose finding assay. An intracutan injection of a 0 - 2.5% solution revealed no effect, whereas with a 5% solution wheals were obvious. With a topical induction and a challenge with a 25% solution no erythema and no edema were evident after 48 and 72 hours.

Neither the test substance animals nor the control animals showed any skin reddening after challenge exposure to the 25% test compound formulation. The test compound was formulated in physiological saline solution (sterile) as a suspension.

Under the conditions of the maximisation test, the test compound has no skin sensitizing potential.

In a valid study Pigment Yellow was tested in a guinea pig maximisation test (GPMT) as described by Magnusson and Kligman

Respiratory sensitisation

Justification for classification or non-classification

Due to the negative result in the guinea pig maximisation test (GPMT) as decribed by Magnusson and Kligman a classification is not justified
