Additional information
Skin irritation:
Skin irritation test (Directorate-General Environment, Consumer Protection and Nuclear Safety, 1988) was conducted on rabbits exposed to chemical FD and C Red with 1% test chemical concentration for daily exposure. No irritating effects were known in skin irritation test of chemical FD and C red 4 exposed to the skin of rabbit.
Skin irritation property of Disodium 3-((2,4-dimethyl-5-sulphonatophenyl)azo)-4-hydroxynaphthalene-1-sulphonateis predicted using QSAR toolbox version 3.3. The substance Disodium 3-((2,4-dimethyl-5-sulphonatophenyl)azo)-4-hydroxynaphthalene-1-sulphonate is estimated to be non irritating in an in vivo test on reconstituted human epidermis.
Based on the QSAR prediction done using the Danish (Q)SAR Database, 2016, the skin irritation was estimated to be negative on rabbits for the test compound FD and C Red no 4. Thus it can be concluded that the substance FD and C Red no 4 has no skin irritation effects and based on the CLP criteria for classification it can be classified as negative to skin irritation effects.
Skin irritation study was conducted (NTRL, 1982) to evaluate the skin irritation potential of the test compound 3,3'-[(3,3' -Dimethoxy-4,4'-biphenylene )-bis- (azo )7bis[4-hydroxy-1-naphthalenesulfonic acid disodium salt. Application of the solid compound to the skin of guinea pigs under an impervious covering for 24 hours caused slight irritation at the test site without evidence of skin penetration. The test material is not irritating to the skin of Guinea pigs.
Disodium 6-hydroxy-5-[(4-sulphonatophenyl)azo]naphthalene-2-sulphonate (RA CAS no 2783 -94 -0) in petrolatum or in aqueous solutions was found to be not irritating to rabbit skin (The British Industrial Biological Research Agency, 1995).
Eye irritation:
Eye irritation test was conducted (Directorate-General Environment, Consumer Protection and Nuclear Safety, 1988) on rabbits exposed to chemical FD and C Red (CAS no 4548 -53 -2) with 5% test chemical concentration.Negative effects were known in eye irritation test of chemical FD and C red 4 exposed to the eye of rabbit.
Eye irritation property of Disodium 3-((2,4-dimethyl-5-sulphonatophenyl)azo)-4-hydroxynaphthalene-1-sulphonate (CAS no 4548 -53 -2) is predicted using QSAR toolbox version 3.3. The substanceDisodium 3-((2,4-dimethyl-5-sulphonatophenyl)azo)-4-hydroxynaphthalene-1-sulphonateis estimated to be not irritating in an in vivo test on rabbits.
Eye irritation study was conducted (NTRL, 1982) to evaluate the eye irritation potential of the test compound 3,3'-[(3,3' -Dimethoxy-4,4'-biphenylene )-bis- (azo )7bis[4-hydroxy-1-naphthalenesulfonic acid disodium salt. The solid caused transient irritation and staining in the rabbit eye.
The test compound3,3'-[(3,3' -Dimethoxy-4,4'-biphenylene )-bis- (azo )7bis[4-hydroxy-1-naphthalenesulfonic acid disodium salt is not irritating to the eyes of rabbits. Disodium 6-hydroxy-5-[(4-sulphonatophenyl)azo]naphthalene-2-sulphonate (RA CAS no 2783 -94 -0) was found to be minimally irritant to the rabbit eye (The British Industrial Research Agency, 1995)The above mentiones studies suggest that the test chemical Ponceau SX (CAS no 4548 -53 -2) is not a skin and eye irritant.
Justification for selection of skin irritation / corrosion endpoint:
The substance Disodium 3-((2,4-dimethyl-5-sulphonatophenyl)azo)-4-hydroxynaphthalene-1-sulphonate is estimated to be non irritating in an in vivo test on reconstituted human epidermis.
Justification for selection of eye irritation endpoint:
The substance Disodium 3-((2,4-dimethyl-5-sulphonatophenyl)azo)-4-hydroxynaphthalene-1-sulphonate is estimated to be not irritating in an in vivo test on rabbits.
Justification for classification or non-classification
Skin irritation:
Based on the available data and the weight of evidence considered, the test material FD and C red no 4 is not a skin irritant.
Eye irritation:
Based on the available data and the weight of evidence considered, the test material FD and C red no 4 is not an eye irritant.
