Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
ambiguous
Remarks:
Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
Conclusions:
The sensitization potential of D&C Red 33 was determined by performing patch tests on humans.59 patients were tested with the dye. 4 patients with ‘?+ ‘results and 2 patients with ‘++ ‘ results were reported.This sensitizing potential of D&C Red 33 can be considered ambiguous, since the final results were unable to accurately estimate the sensitizing potential of the test chemical.
Executive summary:

The sensitization potential of D&C Red 33 was determined by performing patch tests on humans.

 

The dye was applied in Finn Chambers and read first at 2 or (more commonly) 3 days and again at 4–7 days.

The reactions of the patients were graded as ‘?+ ‘ , ‘+’ and ‘++’ categories

 

59 patients were tested with the dye.4 patients with ‘?+ ‘ results and 2 patients with ‘++ ‘ results were reported.

 

This sensitizing potential of D&C Red 33 can be considered ambiguous, since the final results were unable to accurately estimate the sensitizing potential of the test chemical.

 

The CLP classification for the test chemical is ‘Not Classified’
