Air-conditioned with 10-15 air changes per hour, and continuously monitored environ-ment with ranges for room temperature 22 ± 3 °C and for relative humidity between 30-70 % (values above 70 % during cleaning process possible), automatically controlled light cycle of 12 hours light and 12 hours dark, music during the daytime light period.
Accomodation in groups of three. - Route of administration:

- The application volume was 10 mL/kg body weight.
- Doses:
- 2000 mg/kg bw
- No. of animals per sex per dose:
- 6
- Control animals:
- no
- Details on study design:
- The animals were examined daily during the acclimatization period and mortality, viability and clinical signs were recorded. All animals were examined for clinical signs at approximately 30 minutes, 1, 2, 3 and 5 hours after treatment on day 1 and once daily during test days 2-15. Mortality/viability was recorded at approximately 30 minutes, 1, 2, 3 and 5 hours after administration on test day 1 (with the clinical signs) and twice daily during days 2-15. In addition, viability and clinical signs were recorded 6-hour after dosing for animals 4−6 due to a misunderstanding in the laboratory. Body weights were recorded on day 1 (prior to administration) and on days 8 and 15. All animals were necropsied and examined macroscopically
- Sex:

- Based on:
- test mat.
- Remarks on result:
- other: no mortality occurred.
- Mortality:

Additional information
Pigment Red 214 was tested in two valid studies in rats (RCC 1989 and 2006). Both studies are GLP and OECD 423 compliant. No animal died at the limit dose of 2000 mg/kg bw. In the more recent study, all animals expressed a slightly ruffled fur throughout the day of dosing. In addition, a hunched posture was noted in three animals at the 3-hour reading. Red staining of the feces was noted for all animals on days 2 and 3 and for the first dosing group already at the 5-hour reading.No macroscopic findings were recorded at necropsy. In the other study, all rats had recovered within three observation days from sedation and unsteady gait and ruffled fur. The results are consistent with poorly documented information indicating an LD50 of greater than 15000 mg/kg bw (Andrysova 1978).
Justification for classification or non-classification
Classification, Labelling, and Packaging Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008
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 or dermal toxicity under Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008.
