Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:

not irritating

Remarks:

Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU

Conclusions:

The results obtained, in these experimental conditions, enable to conclude that the test item SEPISOL FAST RED SN must not be classified, according to the criteria for classification, packging and labelling of dangerous substances and preparations in compliance with the E.E.C. directives 67/548, 2001/59 and 99/45. No symbol or risk phrase is required.

In accordance with the regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008, the test item must not be classified. No signal word or hazard statement is required.

Executive summary:

The test item SEPISOL FAST RED SN was applied, as supplied, at the dose of 0.5 g, under semi-occlusive dressing during 4 hours on an undamaged skin area of three New Zealand rabbits. The experimental protocol was established from the OECD guideline No. 404 dated April 24th, 2002 and the test method B.4 of the Council regulation No. 440/2008 of 30 May 2008.

No cutaneaous reactions (erythema and oedema) were observed whatever the examination time (1, 24, 48 and 72 hours). A pink coloration, not preventing erythema assessment, was noted between days 0 and 3 in all animals.

The results obtained, in these experimental conditions, enable to conclude that the test item SEPISOL FAST RED SN must not be classified, according to the criteria for classification, packaging and labelling of dangerous substances and preparations in compliance with the E.E.C. directives 67/548, 2001/59 and 99/45. No symbol or risk phrase is required.

In accordance with the Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008, the test item must not be classified. No signal word or hazard statement is required.
