Details on results:
Changes in haematology were evident in males treated with 5 and 10 mg/kg bw/day.
Changes in haematological parameters like increased methemoglobin levels in males up to 2.5 mg/kg bw/day and females up to 5 mg/kg bw/day, decreased haemoglobin levels in males (5 and 10 mg/kg bw/day) increased reticulocyte counts (relative and absolute) in all test article treated males and a general shift towards high fluorescent reticulocytes in high dosed males.
The changes noted in methemoglobin levels and reticulocte counts in males treated with 2.5 mg/kg bw/day were within the upper levels of the historical control data.
When compared with similarly high values at 5 mg/kg bw/day, there was no correlation to pathomorphological (extramedullary hemopoiesis in the spleen) or other haematological parameters at 2.5 mg/kg bw/day.
In males treated with 10 mg/kg bw/day, increased organ/body weight ratio in the spleen was noted, which correlated to microscopic findings (extramedullary hemopoiesis in the spleen in all animals treated with 5-10 mg/kg bw/day.
No test article related macroscopic findings were observed during necropsy.
With regard to the results obtained this, especially to changes in haematological parameters of males, the No Observed Adverse Effect Level (NOAEL) of Acid Orange 7 was considered to be in the general range around 2.5 mg/kg bw/day.
This dose led to borderline effects on met-hemoglobin and reticulocytes counts without concurrent effects on the spleen.
The NOAEL for females was set to 2.5 mg/kg bw/ day by the study authors.

Effect level:

Based on:

Basis for effect level:

Critical effects observed:
not specified
Conclusions:
The value of NOAEL for repeated dose toxicity was established at 2.5 mg/kg bw/day both for males and females.
Based on the test result, Acid Orange 7 needs to be considered as toxic for oral repeated dose with classiifcation under CLP as Cat. 1 STOT RE, H372: Causes damage to organs through prolonged or repeated exposure
Executive summary:

The value of NOAEL for repeated dose toxicity was established at 2.5 mg/kg bw/day both for males and females.

It should be noted that at this dose, some slight early haematological effects (increased met-haemoglobin levels in males and increased reticulocytes count) are already observed.

Even if there are in the upper limits of the historical control values, this finding could be test article related. Therefore, the dose of 2.5 mg/kg bw /day is considered as the LOAEL. Based on the test result, Acid Orange 7 needs to be considered as toxic for oral repeated dose with classification under CLP as Cat. 1 STOT RE, H372: Causes damage to organs through prolonged or repeated exposure.

Additional information

Based on the results both for subchronic oral repeated dose toxicity and for chronic dermal repeaded dose toxicity, the tested substance cause adverse effects at the dose of the test.

Justification for selection of repeated dose toxicity dermal - systemic effects endpoint:

Daily dermal application for 18 months.

Justification for classification or non-classification

The tested substance needs to be classified as Cat. 1 STOT RE, H372: Causes damage to organs through prolonged or repeated exposure

under CLP Regulation (Ec n. 1272/2008).
