Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Additional information

Skin irritation / Corrosion

The results of an in vitro skin irritation test in the EPISKIN model with Reactive Blue F08-0170 indicated that the test item is non irritant.

Eye irritation

The results of the in vitro eye irritation study in the isolated chicken eyes model with Reactive Blue F08-0170 indicated that the test item was not irritating.

The irritant effects of Reactive Blue F08 -0170 were evaluated according to the Draize method (OECD No.: 405, 2002) in an

acute eye irritation study performed in New Zealand White rabbits. Reactive Blue F08-0170, applied to the rabbits’ eye mucosa, caused significant conjunctival irritant effects at one hour after application, however, the effects were fully reversible within 24 hours. Discolouration of the conjunctivae was reversible within 48 hours.

Respiratory irritation

Respiratory irritation was not assessed; however no effects on the animals were noted in any associated studies.

The following information is taken into account for any hazard / risk assessment:

Skin and eye irritation are discussed.

Value used for CSA:

-         Skin irritation / corrosion: Not irritating

-         Eye irritation: Not irritating


Effect level: empty Endpoint conclusion: Adverse effect observed

Justification for classification or non-classification

The above studies have all been ranked reliability 1 according to the Klimisch et al system. This ranking was deemed appropriate because the studies were conducted to GLP an in compliance with agreed protocols. Sufficient dose ranges and numbers are detailed; hence it is appropriate for use based on reliability and animal welfare grounds.

The above results triggered no classification under the Dangerous Substance Directive (67/548/EEC) and the CLP Regulation (EC No 1272/2008).
