Executive summary:

Based on the available studies for the structurally similar read across chemicals, weight of evidence approach was applied to assess the dermal irritation potential of 2-naphthalenol, 1-[[2-methyl-4-[(2-methylphenyl)azo]phenyl]azo]-, ar-styrenated.

A study was performed by JAMES E. FULTON, JR to determine the Comedogenicity and irritancy potential of the structurally similar read across chemicals. The dyes were mixed in propylene glycol at a 9 to 1 dilution for testing unless otherwise indicated (10% concentration). A colony of New Zealand albino rabbits that have genetically good ears and free from mites were used. Three rabbits, weighing two to three kilograms, were used for each assay. Animals were housed singly in suspended cages and fed Purina Rabbit Chow and water ad libitum. Animals were maintained on a 12-hour light and 12-hour dark cycle. A dose of 1 ml of the test material was applied and spread once daily to the entire inner surface of once for five days per week for two weeks. The opposite untreated ear of each animal served as an untreated control. The irritancy produced by repeated application of the chemical on the surface epidermis in the rabbit ear is evaluated on a scale of 0 to 5. The grades are summarized as follows:

 0 = No irritation; 1 = few scales, no Erythema; 2 = diffuse scaling, no Erythema; 3 = Generalized scaling with Erythema; 4 = Scaling, Erythema and Edema; 5 = Epidermal necrosis and slough.

Both the structurally similar read across chemicals were graded 0 (no irritation observed). Hence, they can be considered to be not irritating to rabbit skin.

Based on the available data for the structurally similar read across substances and applying the weight of evidence approach, it can be concluded that the target chemical will also tend to behave in a similar manner that of the read across substances. Therefore the target chemical was estimated to be not irritating to skin and it can be further classified under the category “Not Classified” as per CLP regulation.

Executive summary:

Based on the available studies for the structurally similar read across chemicals, weight of evidence approach was applied to assess the ocular irritation potential of 2-naphthalenol, 1-[[2-methyl-4-[(2-methylphenyl)azo]phenyl]azo]-, ar-styrenated.

The ocular irritation potential of the structurally similar read across chemical was assessed (OECD SIDS, SIAM 9, 29/06/1999) in rabbits. The study was performed as per OECD 405 Guidelines. The test chemical was instilled in the eyes of rabbits and exposed till 24 hours. No signs of irritation were observed after 24 hours exposure to the test chemical in rabbits. Hence, it can be considered to be not irritating to rabbit eyes.

This result is suptely on ported by experimental study summarized in Scientific Committee on Cosmetology (seventh series), for the structurally similar read across chemical. 100 µl of undiluted chemical was instilled in the eyes of rabbits and observed for signs of irritation (duration of exposure not mentioned).No signs of irritation were observed, so the test chemical

can be considered to be not irritating to rabbit eyes.

The above experimental data was supported by study summarized in Scientific Committee on Cosmetology (seventh series) for the structurally similar read across chemical. 0.8 mg of test chemical in an aqueous solution was instilled into the eyes of guinea pigs and observed for signs of irritation. No signs of irritation were observed in the guinea pigs when exposed to the test chemical. Hence, the test chemical was considered to be not irritating to eyes.

Based on the available data for the structurally similar read across substances and applying the weight of evidence approach, it can be concluded that the target chemical will also tend to behave in a similar manner that of the read across substances. Therefore the target chemical was estimated to be not irritating to eyes and it can be further classified under the category “Not Classified” as per CLP regulation.

Justification for classification or non-classification

The results of the experimental studies from the structurally similar read across substances indicate a possibility that 2-naphthalenol, 1-[[2-methyl-4-[(2-methylphenyl)azo]phenyl]azo]-, ar-styrenated can be not irritating to skin and eyes.

Hence by applying the weight of evidence approach, 2-naphthalenol, 1-[[2-methyl-4-[(2-methylphenyl)azo]phenyl]azo]-, ar-styrenated can be considered to be not irritating to skin and eyes. It can be classified under the category “Not Classified” as per CLP regulation.
