Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.

The new ECHA CHEM database has been released by ECHA, and it now contains all REACH registration data. There are more details on the transition of ECHA's published data to ECHA CHEM here.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

not classified
Remarks:

Conclusions:
Based on reliable review of literature and assessment of similar sulphonated azo dyes.
No further animal testing is justified.
Executive summary:

From assessment of similar substances and substances containing the same groups, none are noted as being acutely toxic and there is no evidence of dermal absorption. From various data sources, it is considered unlikely that the substance will be acutely toxic by the dermal route. Most dyes of this class have acute toxicity discriminating dose > 2000 mg/kg and the similar substances reviewed fall into this category.

 

There is limited evidence that this type of substance is significantly absorbed by dermal contact due to the high molecular weight. Assessments of smaller molecules containing the same functional groups suggest low dermal toxicity.

 

It is not considered justifiable to perform further acute oral toxicity testing on CR SB32N2 in view of the similarity with other dyes assessed in this report.
