Description of key information

Based on the available data for the various test chemicals and applying the weight of evidence approach, it can be concluded that the test chemical will also behave in similar manner. The test chemical was estimated to be not sensitizing to skin. Thus it can be further classified under the category “Not Classified” as per CLP regulation.

Executive summary:

The skin sensitization potential of the test chemical was assessed based on the available results from the various test chemicals.

The test was conducted on a group of 32 patients with presumable allergic contact dermatitis and all with a positive patch teat reaction to p-aminoazobenzene (0.25% pet). The group consisted of 20 women (mean age 39.9 years) and men (mean age 46.6 years). 11 patients had previously also shown sensitization to PPD (Para-phenyldiamine). 30 patients with an allergic contact dermatitis but negative to p-aminoazobenzene and PPD were also tested with the same patch test series.

A patch with test chemical was placed in small squares (about 1.0 cm2) and wetted with 1 drop of tap water, water was used to imitate the circumstances (wet hands or sweating of hands). By this procedure a slight but visible yellow stain on the skin was found at the test site after 2 days of application, indicating liberation of the dyes.

The test chemical did not elicit a positive patch test reaction in any one of the 32 patients’ positive to p-aminoazobenzene nor in the 30 control subjects. Hence, the test chemical was considered to be not sensitizing.

This is supported by the results of another patch test performed to determine the skin sensitization potential of the test chemical. The dye was applied in Finn Chambers and read first at 2 or (more commonly) 3 days and again at 4–7 days. The reactions of the patients were graded as ‘?+ ‘ , ‘+’ and ‘++’ categories. 16 patients were tested with the dye.

Only one positive reaction was observed of 16 patients tested.

Hence, the test chemical can be considered as non- sensitizer in humans.

Based on the available data for the various test chemicals and applying the weight of evidence approach, it can be concluded that the test chemical will also behave in similar manner. The test chemical was estimated to be not sensitizing to skin. Thus it can be further classified under the category “Not Classified” as per CLP regulation.

Additional information:

The skin sensitization potential of the test chemical was assessed based on the available results from the various test chemicals.

The test was conducted on a group of 32 patients with presumable allergic contact dermatitis and all with a positive patch teat reaction to p-aminoazobenzene (0.25% pet). The group consisted of 20 women (mean age 39.9 years) and men (mean age 46.6 years). 11 patients had previously also shown sensitization to PPD (Para-phenyldiamine). 30 patients with an allergic contact dermatitis but negative to p-aminoazobenzene and PPD were also tested with the same patch test series.

A patch with test chemical [2% in white petrolatum] was placed in small squares (about 1.0 cm2) and wetted with 1 drop of tap water, water was used to imitate the circumstances (wet hands or sweating of hands). By this procedure a slight but visible yellow stain on the skin was found at the test site after 2 days of application, indicating liberation of the dyes.

The test chemical did not elicit a positive patch test reaction in any one of the 32 patients’ positive to p-aminoazobenzene nor in the 30 control subjects. Hence, the test chemical was considered to be not sensitizing.This is supported by the results of another patch test performed to determine the skin sensitization potential of the test chemical.

Patch test was performed to determine the skin sensitization potential of the test chemical. The dye[1% in petrolatum] was applied in Finn Chambers to the skin of 16 human volunteers. The reactions were read first at 2 or (more commonly) 3 days and again at 4–7 days. The reactions of the patients were graded as ‘?+ ‘ , ‘+’ and ‘++’ categories. 16 patients were tested with the dye.

Only one positive reaction was observed of 16 patients tested.

Hence, the test chemical can be considered as non- sensitizer in humans.

Based on the available data for the various test chemicals and applying the weight of evidence approach, it can be concluded that the test chemical will also behave in similar manner. The test chemical was estimated to be not sensitizing to skin. Thus it can be further classified under the category “Not Classified” as per CLP regulation.

Justification for classification or non-classification

Based on the available data for the various test chemicals and applying the weight of evidence approach, it can be concluded that the test chemical will also behave in similar manner. The test chemical was estimated to be not sensitizing to skin. Thus it can be further classified under the category “Not Classified” as per CLP regulation.
