Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
The test substance is not irritant to rabbit skin and has not to be classified.
Executive summary:

Three Rabbits were treated with 500 mg Reactiv Red 239 on the dorsal region of the trunk.

One hour after the removal of the plaster the skin of the animals revealed hardly perceptible to clearly outlined erythema. Very slight oedema was observed in two animals. 24 to 48 hours after the removal of the plaster the skin still
exhibited hardly perceptible erythema.

72 hours after the removal of the plaster, all of the animals were free from signs of irritation.

Based on this results Reactive Red 239 is not irritant to rabbit skin and has not to be classified.
