Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Skin sensitisation

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

A guinea pig maximization study was conducted with the structural analogue substance Acid Red 315 to evaluate the skin sensitization potential of the test substance (of 80% purity) according to OECD Guideline 406 and EU Method B.6 with few deviations. Based on the results of a preliminary study, 5 and 50% were selected as intradermal and topical induction doses respectively. The highest non-irritating test substance concentration used for challenge application was 50%. 

After the first challenge, positive skin reactions were observed in the control group. Therefore a second challenge was performed with an additional control group. The test substance at 50% in vaselinum album was determined twice as the highest non-irritating concentration. However by comparison, the second challenge did not confirm the first challenge with the test article at 50% and the interpretation is therefore very ambiguous. Further, an additional test substance concentration of 25% was applied in the second challenge procedure. No skin reactions were observed in the control and test group at test substance concentration of 25%.

 

Under the conditions of the study, the test substance was not considered to induce delayed contact hypersensitivity in treated animals when tested at the concentration of 25%.

The test substance did not show significant potential to be a skin sensitizer.

Respiratory sensitisation

Endpoint conclusion
Endpoint conclusion:
no study available

Justification for classification or non-classification

Skin sensitisation:

Based on the above stated assessment of the skin sensitisation potential, the substance does not need to be classified as a skin sensitizer according to Council Directive 2001/59/EC (28th ATP of Directive 67/548/EEC) and according to CLP (Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008 Of The European Parliament And Of The Council) as implementation of UN-GHS in the EU.
