Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.

The new ECHA CHEM database has been released by ECHA, and it now contains all REACH registration data. There are more details on the transition of ECHA's published data to ECHA CHEM here.

no hazard identified

Additional information - workers

No acute systemic DNELs or long-term systemic DNELs or local inhalation DNELs have been derived because the substance is not classified for acute toxicity, repeated dose toxicity, reproductive/developmental toxicity or for local effects following inhalation.

The substance is classified as a skin sensitiser Category 1B therefore a moderate hazard is assigned according to ECHA CSA Guidance Part E Table E 3 -1. Considering that there are no dose response data for this endpoint, a qualitative risk characterisation has been conducted for acute and long-term local dermal effects.

Additional information - General Population

The substance is classified as a skin sensitiser Category 1B therefore a moderate hazard is assigned according to ECHA CSA Guidance Part E Table E 3 -1 for handling of the test substance. However, the test substance itself is not handled by the consumer as due to the complicated dyeing process, home-dyeing is not applicable for the use of this substance. The dye is applied in its reduced water-soluble form. During the dyeing process, the test substance is physically bound to the textile fibre and fixed by oxidation to the insoluble vat form. It is therefore unlikely that the consumer is exposed to the dye from contact with the dyed textile. With the modern dyeing process a fixation rate of at least 90% is reached. The dye is bound extremely well to the fabric, so that no migration from the textiles is expected. The fastness properties of the vat dyed articles are extremely good. They are hence standard for textiles used in medical laboratories and clinics. Significant consumer exposure to the test substance is therefore not expected. Consequently, the hazard conclusion is set to low for the consumer. Considering that there are no dose response data for this endpoint, a qualitative risk characterisation has been conducted for acute and long-term local dermal effects.
