Additional information
Pigment Red 221 (CAS 71566-54-6, 926 g/mol)
Pigment Red 221 was tested in two studies in rabbits (Ciba-Geigy Ltd 1974, Ciba 1983/84) for both skin and eye irritation. The eye irritation study procedures were comparable to OECD testing guideline 405. Six animals instead of 3 were used. For 3 animals substance was washed out after 30 seconds, whereas for the remaining animals eyes were not washed. The study showed adverse no effects on iris, cornea or conjunctivae.
The skin irritation procedure involved 24h exposure with occlusive wrapping and a three-day observation period. A shaved, but intact site and an abraded site were treated. The duration is longer than required by the OECD guideline 404, but the observation period is shorter. The study was not performed under GLP, but is reported with sufficient detail for evaluation. Polyethylene glycol was used as vehicle. No indication of erythema or edema was observed.
Justification for classification or non-classification
Classification, Labelling, and Packaging Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008
The available experimental test data are reliable and suitable for classification purposes under Regulation 1272/2008. As a result the substance is not considered to be classified for skin or eye irritation under Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008, as amended for the thirteenth time in Regulation (EC) No. 2018/1480.
Information on Registered Substances comes from registration dossiers which have been assigned a registration number. The assignment of a registration number does however not guarantee that the information in the dossier is correct or that the dossier is compliant with Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 (the REACH Regulation).
