Description of key information

According to the available studies (Reed, 1984, Klimisch 2, Human Repeated Insult Patch Test) performed in order to assess the potential sensitising effect of the test substance, HC Red did not led to sensitization when used at 3%.

Additional information

Two keys studies were available to assess the potential sensitising effect of the test substance : Two Human Repeated Insult Patch Tests were performed (Reed, 1983 & 1984, Klimisch 2)

The entire study extended over a six weeks period with three phases: induction, rest and challenge. The induction phase consisted of 10 consecutive applications of the test material. The patches were removed 48 hours after application and skin was evaluated. The challenge phase was initiated during the sixth week of the study, with identical patches applied to sites on the opposite arm previously unexposed to the test material. Patches were removed after 48 hours. The sites were grades 48 and 72 hours after removal.

- None of the 114 subjects used in the first study developed sensitization due to treatment with the test item (concentration was not reported).

- None of the 115 subjects used in the second study developed sensitization due to treatment with the 3% test item
