Description of key information

To assess the skin sensitisation potential of the substance with CAS 2218502-12-4 (Direct Black 168 NaLi salts), an in vivo study conducted on the similar substance (read-across) with CAS 93281-13-1(Direct Black 168 Na salt) has been chosen.


The results of the study, conducted according to OECD 406, support that the substance is not a skin sensitiser. No studies are available for respiratory sensitisation.


Both substances CAS 218502-12-4 (Direct Black 168 NaLi salt) and CAS 93281-13-1 (Direct Black 168 Na salt) have the same organic anionic structure. The differences are considered to be not able to impact the study outcome, thus the read-across can be considered as reliable and appropriate to evaluate the endpoint. Details on read-across approach are given in the section 13 of IUCLID file.

Justification for classification or non-classification

Based on the above stated assessments of the skin sensitisation potential, the substance is classified as non-sensitising according to CLP (Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008 of the European Parliament and of the Council) as implementation of UN-GHS in the EU.
