Description of key information

In 2 valid studies Pigment Yellow FC 26290 was tested for skin irritation/corrosion and eye irritation. The test substance was found to be not irritating to the skin and not irritating to the eye

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Skin irritation / corrosion

Endpoint conclusion
Endpoint conclusion:
no adverse effect observed (not irritating)

Eye irritation

Endpoint conclusion
Endpoint conclusion:
no adverse effect observed (not irritating)

Additional information

The test substance was tested in a 4 h skin irritation/corrosion test in rabbits. The test substance (500 mg) was semi-occlusively applied once to the intact skin of 3 rabbits and remained there for 4 hours. The animals were observed for 7 days after experiment. Mean value for erythema according to DRAIZE was: 0.0; mean value for edema: 0.0. The test substance was found to be not irritating.

The test substance was tested in a 24 h eye irritation test in rabbits. The test substance (100 µl = ca. 32 mg) was administered into one eye of 3 rabbits (the other eye remained untreated and served as control). The substance was washed out after 24 hours with normal saline. The animals were observed for 7 days after experiment. Signs of irritation proved to be fully reversible within 7 days.

The test substance was found to be not irritating to eye.

Justification for classification or non-classification

skin irritation:

mean value for erythema = 0, mean value for oedema = 0

On the basis of this data a classification is not justified

eye irritation:

mean values for cornea opacity (0); mean values for iris inflammation (0);

mean values for conjunctivae reddening (0.2), mean values for conjunctivae swelling (0.6)

On the basis of this data a classification is not justified
