Details on study design:

RANGE FINDING TESTS:

Prior to the determination of the primary non-irritation concentration in a dermal-occlusive test the animals received 4 intradermal injections of a 50% Freund's Complete Adjuvant emulsion (4 x 0.1 ml) into the dorsal area, since Freund's Complete Adjuvant may lower the threshold of primary irritation. Thereafter, each of the following test concentrations was administered to the flanks of two guinea pigs:

25.0 % in deionized water
5.0 % in deionized water
1.0 % in deionized water

The hair on the flanks of the animals was removed mechanically. 0.5 ml of the test substance preparation was administered to a 2 x 2 cm cellulose patch, which was fixed to the flank and covered occlusively for 24 hours with a bandage and film. 24 hours after removal of the patches, the treated skin areas were examined for erythema and oedema.

Determination of the tolerance of the intradermal injections

To determine the tolerance of intradermal injections, each of the following prepara¬tions was administered twice by intradermal injection to 2 guinea pigs. The injection sites (sites 1, 2 and 3) were all within a dorsal area measuring 2 x 4 cm in the vicinity of the shoulders.
24, 48, 72 and 96 hours after administration the injection sites were examined for local tolerance.

Main test

Intradermal induction treatment

Two intradermal injections per animal of the following preparations. The injection sites (site 1, 2 and 3) were all within a dorsal area of 2 x 4 cm (see prior page). The injection sites were left uncovered.

Treatment group:

site appl. vol. vehicle
1 2x0.1 ml' - 50 % Freund's Adjuvant
2 2x0.1 ml 5% substance in deionized water
3 2x0.1 ml 5 % substance in 50 % Freund's Adjuvant

Control group:
site appl. Vol. vehicle
1 2 x 0.1 ml 50 % Freund's Adjuvant
2 2x0.1 ml deionized water
3 2 x 0.1 ml equal volume of deionized water and 50 % Freund's Adjuvant

The administration area was examined for local tolerance. Any systemic toxic effects were recorded.

Dermal induction treatment

An amount of 0.5 ml of the test substance preparation (treatment group) or the vehicle (control group) was administered to a 2 x 4 cm cellulose patch. This patch covered the area where the intradermal injection had been placed. The administration area was then kept for 48 hours under an occlusive bandage with an impermeable film and an elastic bandage.
Treatment group:25.0 % test substance in deionized water
Control group: deionized water

Dermal challenge treatment
One area of approx. 5 x 5 cm on the left flank was shaved mechanically.

An amount of 0.5 ml of the test substance preparation was administered to a 2 x 2 cm cellulose patch. The administration area was then kept for 24 hours under an occlusive bandage with an impermeable film and an elastic bandage.

Treatment and control group (left flank): 5.0 % Reaktivgelb FD 08064 in deionized water
After treatment, the occlusive bandage removed. Any remnants of the test substance were carefully washed off with warm water. Examination of the skin was undertaken approx. 24 and 48 hours after removal of the patches. Body weights of the test animals determined.

Interpretation of results:

GHS criteria not met

Conclusions:

Under the conditions of the present study, none of ten animals of the treatment group showed a positive skin response after the challenge procedure.

Based on the results of this study Reaktivgelb FD 08064 showed no evidence for sensitizing properties.

Executive summary:

Study conducted to EU test guidance 96/54/EEC part B6 and OECD test guideline 406 in compliance with GLP.

The substance showed no evidence for sensitizing properties.

Endpoint conclusion

Endpoint conclusion:

no adverse effect observed (not sensitising)

Additional information:

Sensitisation was assessed using the Magnusson and Kligmann sensitisation assay. During the induction phase of the study, strong irritation reactions were noted in both control and test groups. At the challenge stage, no signs of irritation were observed in the control and the treatment group 24 and 48 hours after removal of the occlusive bandage.

The substance elicited no allergenic response. Sensitisation rate: 0%

The substance is not considered to be a skin sensitiser.

Migrated from Short description of key information:
The substance is not considered to be a skin sensitiser.

Respiratory sensitisation

Endpoint conclusion

Additional information:

The registered chemical is a reactive dye. For this class of dyes it was generally agreed between the members of the Ecological and Toxicological Association of Dyes and Organic Pigments Manufacturers (ETAD)that a possible risk for respiratory sensitisation for workers exists at high exposure.However the following should be noted:

 

1. For the substance no history of respiratory problems, such as occupational asthma, is associated with the manufacture and use of the specific substance.
2. Due to the granular form of the substance (spay dried in closed system from aqueous solution directly after synthesis) no risk for inhalative exposure arises.

The potential to cause respiratory sensitisation is therefore not considered to be applicable for this substance.

No evidence of respiratory sensitisation was noted in any of the studies conducted, and it is proposed that the substance is not a respiratory sensitiser.

Justification for classification or non-classification

The above study has been ranked reliability 1 according to the Klimisch et al system. This ranking was deemed appropriate because the studies were conducted to GLP an in compliance with agreed protocols. sufficient dose ranges and numbers are detailed; hence it is appropriate for use based on reliability and animal welfare grounds.

The above results triggered no classification under the Dangerous Substance Directive (67/548/EEC) and the CLP Regulation (EC No 1272/2008). No classification for sensitisation effects is therefore required.
