RANGE FINDING TESTS:

Determination of the primary non-irritant concentration:
In a dermal-occlusive test for primary skin irritation, each of the following test concentrations was applied to the left flank of two guinea pigs:
25.0 % in isotonic saline
2.5 % in isotonic saline
0.25 % in isotonic saline
The hair on the left flanks of the animals was removed mechanically. 0.5 mL of the test substance preparation was applied to a 2 x 2 cm cellulose patch, which was then fixed to the left 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 intradermal injections:
To determine the tolerance of intradermal injections, each of the following preparations (5.0%, 1.0%, 0.2% in isotonic saline) was administered twice by intradermal injection to 3 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 shoulder.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
The test item is not sensitizing in pirbright white guinea pigs.
Executive summary:

Testing for sensitizing properties of Reactive Blue 19:1 was performedin female Guinea pigs according to the method of MAGNUSSON &KLIGMAN. Intradermal induction was performed using 1% reactive Blue 19:1.in isotonic saline. Dermal induction and challenge treatment were carried out with 2.5% Reactive Blue 19:1 in isotonic saline.

Based on the results of this study Reactive Blue 19:1 showed no evidence for sensitizing properties.
