Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
The test substance Chocolate Brown HT (Disodium 4,4'-[[2,4-dihydroxy-5-(hydroxymethyl)-1,3-phenylene]bis(azo)]bisnaphthalene-1-sulphonate) was estimated to be non-sensitising to the skin of guinea pigs.
Executive summary:

The skin sensitisation effect of Chocolate Brown HT ( Disodium 4,4'-[[2,4-dihydroxy-5-(hydroxymethyl)-1,3-phenylene]bis(azo)]bisnaphthalene-1-sulphonate) in guinea pigs was estimated using QSAR Toolboox version 3.3.

The test substance Chocolate Brown HT was estimated to be non-sensitising to the skin of guinea pigs. Considering the CLP criteria for classification of substances, it is concluded that Chocolate Brown HT is not likely to be classified as a skin sensitiser.

Endpoint conclusion
Endpoint conclusion:
no adverse effect observed (not sensitising)

Predicted data for skin irritation endpoint of the target Disodium 4,4'-[[2,4-dihydroxy-5-(hydroxymethyl)-1,3-phenylene]bis(azo)]bisnaphthalene-1-sulphonate and its read across substance is summarised below:

For target, The skin sensitisation effect of Chocolate Brown HT ( Disodium 4,4'-[[2,4-dihydroxy-5-(hydroxymethyl)-1,3-phenylene]bis(azo)]bisnaphthalene-1-sulphonate) in guinea pigs was estimated using QSAR Toolboox version 3.3. The test substance Chocolate Brown HT was estimated to be non-sensitising to the skin of guinea pigs. Considering the CLP criteria for classification of substances, it is concluded that Chocolate Brown HT is not likely to be classified as a skin sensitiser.

While for read across substance (CAS 3567-69-9), the skin irritation effect of Azorubine (Disodium 4-hydroxy-3-[(4-sulphonatonaphthyl)azo]naphthalenesulphonate) was tested in guinea-pigs. Azorubine was determined to be non-sensitising to skin of guinea pigs.

Considering the above results and by weight of evidence approach, the target substance Chocolate Brown HT ( Disodium 4,4'-[[2,4-dihydroxy-5-(hydroxymethyl)-1,3-phenylene]bis(azo)]bisnaphthalene-1-sulphonate) is stated to be a non skin sensitising as per CLP criteria.
