Description of key information
Skin Irritation:
Based on the available data for the structurally similar read across substances and applying the weight of evidence approach, it can be concluded that the target chemical will also tend to behave in a similar manner that of the read across substances. Therefore the target chemical was estimated to be not irritating to skin and it can be further classified under the category “Not Classified” as per CLP regulation.
Eye Irritation:
Based on the available data for the structurally similar read across substances and applying the weight of evidence approach, it can be concluded that the target chemical will also tend to behave in a similar manner that of the read across substances. Therefore the target chemical was estimated to be not irritating to eyes and it can be further classified under the category “Not Classified” as per CLP regulation.

Based on the available studies for the structurally similar read across chemicals, weight of evidence approach was applied to assess the dermal irritation potential of N-(2-ethylhexyl)-1-[[2 -methyl-4-[(4-methylphenyl)azo]phenyl]azo]naphthalen-2-amine.
A prophetic patch test was conducted (Joint FAO/WHO Expert Committee on Food Additives, 2004) on 200 human volunteers to assess the dermal irritation potential of the test chemical.
The test chemical was applied on the human skin in the concentration 25% neat or in aqueous solution for 72 hours followed by one 48 hours application 10-14 days later. None of the subjects exhibited compound induced irritation. Hence, the test chemical was considered to be not irritating to human skin.
This is supported by a study performed by JAMES E. FULTON, JR to determine the Comedogenicity and irritancy potential of the structurally similar read across chemical. The dyes were mixed in propylene glycol at a 9 to 1 dilution for testing unless otherwise indicated (10% concentration). A colony of New Zealand albino rabbits that have genetically good ears and free from mites were used. Three rabbits, weighing two to three kilograms, were used for each assay. Animals were housed singly in suspended cages and fed Purina Rabbit Chow and water ad libitum. Animals were maintained on a 12-hour light and 12-hour dark cycle. A dose of 1 ml of the test material was applied and spread once daily to the entire inner surface of once for five days per week for two weeks. The opposite untreated ear of each animal served as an untreated control. The irritancy produced by repeated application of the chemical on the surface epidermis in the rabbit ear is evaluated on a scale of 0 to 5. The grades are summarized as follows:
0 = No irritation; 1 = few scales, no Erythema; 2 = diffuse scaling, no Erythema; 3 = Generalized scaling with Erythema; 4 = Scaling, Erythema and Edema; 5 = Epidermal necrosis and slough.
The test chemical was graded 0 (no irritation observed). Hence, it can be considered to be not irritating to rabbit skin.
Based on the available data for the structurally similar read across substances and applying the weight of evidence approach, it can be concluded that the target chemical will also tend to behave in a similar manner that of the read across substances. Therefore the target chemical was estimated to be not irritating to skin and it can be further classified under the category “Not Classified” as per CLP regulation.

- Executive summary:
Based on the available studies for the structurally similar read across chemicals, weight of evidence approach was applied to assess the ocular irritation potential of N-(2-ethylhexyl)-1-[[2-methyl-4-[(4-methylphenyl)azo]phenyl]azo]naphthalen-2-amine.
Various studies have been summarized in Scientific Committee on Cosmetology (seventh series), 1988 to evaluate the irritation potential of the structurally similar read across chemicals.
In case of the first chemical, 0.1 ml of 1.0% aqueous solution of the test chemical did not induce any ocular changes in the rabbits. Whereas in case of the second chemical,0.25 ml of a filtrate from a digest in aqueous saline prepared at 40 deg C revealed slight and reversible redness of the mucous membrane in rabbits.
Since the effects caused in both the studies were reversible in nature, it was considered that both the test chemicals were not irritating to rabbit eyes.
Based on the available data for the structurally similar read across substances and applying the weight of evidence approach, it can be concluded that the target chemical will also tend to behave in a similar manner that of the read across substances. Therefore the target chemical was estimated to be not irritating to eyes and it can be further classified under the category “Not Classified” as per CLP regulation.
