Conclusions:
Basic Blue 99 is non irritating to the skin of New Zealand White rabbits.
Executive summary:

Dermal irritation study was carried out to test the dermal toxicity of basic blue 99 at the concentration of 0.5g per inch square.Basic Blue 99 (0.5 g per square inch) was applied undiluted to either the shorn intact or abraded skin on the back of animals. The patch was affixed for 24 h. No observable reactions to Basic Blue 99 were noted over the 14-day observation period.According to the CLP classification, the test material Basic Blue 99 does not classify as a skin irritant.
