Additional information:

Skin Sensitization:

Various studies have been investigated for assessing the dermal sensitization potential of C.I Direct Blue 218 to a greater or lesser extent. The studies are based on in vivo experiments in guinea pigs along with predicted data for target chemical and its structurally similar read across substances,trisodium 5-amino-3-[(E)-2-(4-{4-[(E)-2-(7-amino-1-hydroxy-3-sulfonatonaphthalen-2-yl)diazen-1-yl]phenyl}phenyl)diazen-1-yl]-4-hydroxynaphthalene-2,7-disulfonate(Chlorazol Black BH)[CAS: 2429-73-4] and Disodium 6-hydroxy-5-[(2-methoxy-4-sulphonato-m-tolyl)azo]naphthalene-2-sulphonate(ALLURA RED AC)[CAS: 25956-17-6]. The predicted data using the OECD QSAR toolbox has also been compared with the experimental data.

 

The skin sensitization potential of C.I Direct Blue 218[CAS: 28407 -37 -6] was estimated by SSS (2018) using OECD QSAR toolbox v3.3 with log kow as the primary descriptor. C.I Direct Blue 218[CAS:28407 -37 -6] was predicted to be not sensitizing to the skin of female Dunkin- Hartley guinea pigs.

Modified Draize- Shelanski Repeat Insult Patch Test was performed (OTS0215154, NTRL report, last updated 1983) on human volunteers to ascertain the degree of sensitization caused bythe structurally similar read across substance, trisodium 5-amino-3-[(E)-2-(4-{4-[(E)-2-(7-amino-1-hydroxy-3-sulfonatonaphthalen-2-yl)diazen-1-yl]phenyl}phenyl)diazen-1 -yl]-4-hydroxynaphthalene-2,7-disulfonate(Chlorazol Black BH)[CAS: 2429-73-4].Undiluted Chlorazol Black BH [CAS:2429-73-4] was applied to the patch sites on the backs of 208 male volunteers for ten alternate-day 24-hour period under occlusion. Following a seven day rest period, challenge patches of Chlorazol Black BH [CAS:2429-73-4] were applied to the fresh sites on the backs of 208 male volunteers similar to the induction phase for 24 hours. The challenge sites were evaluated 24 hours after removal of the challenge patches.

No instances of contact sensitization were observed in any of the volunteers.

Hence, Chlorazol Black BH [CAS:2429-73-4] can be considered to be not sensitizing to skin.

Prophetic patch test was performed (487. Allura red AC (WHO Food Additives Series 15), 1981) on 200 human subjects for screening the skin sensitization potential caused bythe structurally similar read across substance, Disodium 6-hydroxy-5-[(2-methoxy-4-sulphonato-m-tolyl)azo]naphthalene-2-sulphonate(ALLURA RED AC)[CAS: 25956-17-6].Allura Red AC was applied either as a neat or as a 25% aqueous solution to the skin of 200 human subjects. The initial exposure to the compound was for 72 hours, and this was followed by a 24-hour application 10 to 14 days later. None of the subjects exhibited compound induced contact sensitization. Hence the chemical Allura Red AC (CAS No: 25956-17-6) was considered to be not sensitizing to the skin of 200 human subjects in a prophetic patch test.

Based on the available data for the target as well as its structurally similar read across substances and applying the weight of evidence approach,C.I Direct Blue 218[CAS: 28407 -37 -6] can be considered to be not sensitizing to skin.Comparing the above annotations with the criteria of CLP regulation,C.I Direct Blue 218[CAS: 28407 -37 -6] can be classified under the category “Not Classified”.

Justification for classification or non-classification

Available data for C.I Direct Blue 218[CAS:28407 -37 -6] indicates that it is not likely to cause dermal sensitization to skin.

C.I Direct Blue 218[CAS:28407 -37 -6] can be considered to be not sensitizer to skin.
