Additional information
Acute oral toxicity
Pigment Red 57:1 is of low acute oral toxicity as determined in several studies with rats performed between 1972 and 1987. The study performed in 1987 was chosen as key study because it was performed with a commercial sample according to the OECD testing guideline 423 (2001) and GLP and contains detailed sample information such as composition, origin and storage conditions in the study report. The commercial product had a sufficiently high pigment content and caused no indication any adverse acute effect with a limit dose of 5000 mg/kg bw. Rats showed red faeces during the first day which indicates excretion of the red pigment. In the older studies, commercial products with doses exceeding 5000 mg/kg bw were tested. In all studies LD50s exceeded the highest dosages tested. Overall, Pigment Red 57:1 is not acutely toxic after oral ingestion.
Acute inhalation toxicity
One valid study is available for assessment of the acute inhalation hazard (BASF 1976). This study was performed in rats with a commercial product following a protocol which is comparable to OECD testing guideline 403 (2009). It was performed prior to the introduction of GLP but the study is documented adequately. The commercial product had a sufficiently high pigment content. A limit test was performed with the highest concentration of dust that was technically achievable (1518 ± 176 mg/m3 air). The particle size was in the respirable range (60% in the range of 3 – 7 micrometer). No mortality, no clinical signs and no findings upon necropsy were observed. Body weight is only given for the beginning of the study. As no mortality occurred, the LD50 was determined to be >1518 mg/m3.
Acute dermal toxicity
The studies for acute dermal toxicity were performed with doses of commercial products ranging from 2000 to 8300 mg/kg bw. The key study was chosen based on the extent of reporting details. This study (BASF 1973) was performed in rats with a commercial product following a BASF protocol which is comparable to OECD testing guideline 402 (1987). It was performed prior to the introduction of GLP but is documented adequately. The commercial product contained an unknown amount of resin which is acceptable as a dose of 2500 mg/kg bw was applied. No indication of adverse findings was observed.
Justification for classification or non-classification
The available experimental test data are reliable and suitable for classification purposes under Regulation 1272/2008. As a result the substance is not considered to be classified for acute oral, dermal or inhalation toxicity according to Classification, Labelling, and Packaging Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008.
