Executive summary:

The test uses a single rabbit ear, to indicate the Comedogenicity and irritancy of group of skin care products that may contain follicular and surface epithelial irritating ingredients. Ingredients are mixed in propylene glycol at a 9 to 1 dilution for testing unless otherwise indicated( 10% concentration)A. colony of New Zealand albino rabbits that have genetically good ears and is free from mites is used. Three rabbits, weighing two to three kilograms, are used for each assay. Animals are housed singly in suspended cages and fed Purina Rabbit Chow and water ad libitum. Animals are maintained on a 12-hourlight and 12-hour dark cycle. A dose of 1 ml of the test material is applied and spread once daily to the entire inner surface of once for five days per week for two weeks. The opposite untreated ear of each animal served as an untreated control.

 

The irritancy produced by repeated application of a chemical or skin care product on the surface epidermis in the rabbit ear is evaluated on a scale of 0 to 5. The grades are summarized as follows:

 0 = No irritation

1 = few scales, no Erythema

2 = diffuse scaling, no Erythema

3 = Generalized scaling with Erythema

4 = Scaling, Erythema and Edema

Additional information

 Skin irritation / corrosion

In a Primary Skin Irritation Test for D&C Red 33 reported in JAMES E. FULTON, 1989, the test uses a single rabbit ear, to indicate the Comedogenicity and irritancy of group of skin care products that may contain follicular and surface epithelial irritating ingredients. Ingredients are mixed in propylene glycol at a 9 to 1 dilution for testing unless otherwise indicated (10% concentration).Three rabbits, weighing two to three kilograms, are used for each assay.A dose of 1 ml of the test material is applied and spread once daily to the entire inner surface of once for five days per week for two weeks. The opposite untreated ear of each animal served as an untreated control. The irritancy produced by the test chemical was graded from 0–5. The test chemical falls under Grade 2 (diffuse scaling, no erythema). Hence it can be concluded that the test chemical is non-irritating to rabbit ears.

In a Primary Skin Irritation Test reported in Scientific Committee on Consumer Safety (2007),Test substance Acid Red 33 of dose concentration 0.5 g/kg bw of a 0, 0.1 and 1% formulation in white petrolatum or a hydrophilic cream was applied on intact skin of rabbits for 65 applications or on damaged skin for 15 applications. Under the conditions of the study, the test material was considered not be irritant to rabbit skin.

In another study (J.H. Draize; et.al-1944,Dipali Roy & J. Saha -1981 and European Commission-2011) with similar substance (CAS: 633-96-5),100 mg of the test material were applied on the abraded skin of 4 male rabbit for 24 hour.Test material produced very slight redness of abraded skin in some of the rabbits when observed at only 24 hours after application. The overall result concluded that this was a false positive reaction. Under the conditions in this experiment the material Acid Orange 7 is classified as non-irritant to the skin.

On the basis of available information for the target as well as read across substance and applying weight of evidence approach, the test substance can be considered as not irritating to the skin, in accordance with the CLP criteria.

Eye irritation:

Applying weight of evidence approach to the available predicted and experimental data for the target as well as read-across chemical, the information is summarised as below.

The eye irritating potential of D&C Red No. 33 is predicted using OECD QSAR toolbox version 3.3. The substance D&C Red No. 33 is estimated to be not irritating to albino rabbits eye .

In a Primary Eye Irritation Test reported in Scientific Committee on Consumer Safety 2007,0.2 ml of a 10% aqueous solution (20 mg) or suspension of the test material was applied twice daily, five times weekly, for four weeks to the conjunctival sac of one eye of each of a group of six or more albino rabbits (40 applications). One hour after each application, the eyes were examined for evidence of staining and the irritation was scored according to Draize. The study concluded that the test substance was not irritating to the rabbit eye.

In a study (Dipali Roy & J. Saha- 1981 and European Commission 2011) conducted on similar substance (CAS: 633-96-5);100 mg of test compound (Acid Orange 7)was administered to eye of 3 male rabbits no sign of irritation was observed during experiment thus it is concluded that Acid Orange 7 dose not classify as eye irritant.

On the basis of available information for the target as well as read across substance and applying weight of evidence approach, the test substance can be considered as not irritating to the eye, in accordance with the CLP criteria.
