TEST SITE
0.5g of the test material, moistened with
0.5 mL of distilled water, Introduced under a 2.5 cm x 2.5 cm gauze
patch and placed in position on shorn skin. The patch was secured
in position with a strip of surgical adhesive tape {BLENDERH: approximate-
size 2.5 cm x 4.0 cm}.
To prevent the animals interfering with the
patches, the trunk of each rabbit was wrapped in an elasticated corset (TUBIGRIP)

REMOVAL OF TEST SUBSTANCE

4 hours after application the corset and patches were removed from each animal and
any residual test material removed by gentle swabbing with cotton wool soaked in distilled water followed by diethyl ether.

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
Very slight transient reddening was seen in 2 of 3 rabbits. Hence, Direct Red 83:1 is not a skin irritating substance.
Executive summary:

The aim of this study was to obtain information on the irritant effect of Direct Red 83:1 on the skin after a single dermal administration.

In a 4 hours skin irritation/corrosion study, 500 mg of Direct Red 83:1, moistened with 500 mL of distilled water, was introduced under a 2.5 cm x 2.5 cm gauze patch and placed in position with a strip of surgical adhesive tape; and was applied in the position of the shorn skin of 3 healthy young adult new Zealand white Rabbits under semi occlusive conditions.

Four hours after application the corset and patches were removed from each animal and any residual test material removed by gentle swabbing with cotton wool soaked in distilled water followed by diethyl ether.

Approximately one hour following the removal of the patches, and 24,48 and 72 hours later, the test sites were examined for evidence of primary irritation and scored according to the Draize scale J.H. (1959) Association of food and Drug Officials of the United States, Austin, Texas, 'The Appraisal of the Safety of Chemicals 1n Foods, Drugs and Cosmetics":

An additional observation was made on day 7 to asses reversibility of skin reactions

 

The test substance produced very slight erythema at 2 treated skin sites at hour 24 and at one treated skin site at hour 48 and 72 of observation. Desquamation was confined to one treated skin site at the 7 day observation.

No corrosive effects were noted. 

Test material was classified as non-irritant according to CLP-labelling regulations. No symbol and risk phrase are required.

Testing of Direct Red 83:1 for primary dermal irritation showed that the substance is non-irritant to the skin.

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
The test material did not produce positive criteria in any rabbit according to the CLP labeling regulation and was classified as non-irritant. No symbol and risk phrase are therefore required.
Executive summary:

In an eye irritation/corrosion study, 98 mg of Direct Red 83:1 was administered once to the non-irrigated right eye of three rabbits. In each case the untreated eyes served as a control.

The aim of this study was to assess the irritancy potential of the test substance after a single administration to the rabbit eye.

A single application of the test substance to the non-irrigated eye of three rabbits produced a transient slight to moderate conjunctival irritation. Diffuse corneal opacity was confined to one treated eye. All treated eyes appeared normal seven days after treatment.

Diffuse corneal opacity was confined to one treated eye at the 24-hour observation. No other adverse corneal effects were noted. Corneal opacity was confirmed using sodium fluorescein B.P. in all treated eyes one hour after treatment and in two treated eyes at the 24-hour observation.

Red-coloured staining precluded accurate evaluation of iridial inflammation in all treated eyes one hour after treatment and in two treated eyes at the 24-hour observation. The reaction were considered to be less than or equal to grade 1.

Red coloured standing prevented accurate evaluation of conjunctival redness in all treated eyes one hour after treatment and in one treated eye in the 24-hour observation.

Conjunctival chemosis and discharge were noted in all treated eyes one hour after treatment with slight or moderate conjunctival chemosis and discharge in one treated eye at the 24-hour observation. Minimal or moderate conjunctival reddening was noted in two treated eyes at the 24-hour observation with minimal conjuctival reddening at the 48 and 72-hour observations. Moderate conjunctival reddenind was noted in one treated eye at the 48 hour observation with minimal conjunctival reddening at the 72 -hour observation. Residual test material was noted around all treated eyes during the study.

Direct Red 83:1 did not produce positive criteria in any rabbit according to the CLP labeling regulation and was classified as non-irritant. No symbol and risk phrase are required.

Additional information

In a 4 hours skin irritation/corrosion study, 500 mg test substance, moistened with 500 mL of distilled water, was introduced under a 2.5 cm x 2.5 cm gauze patch and placed in position with a strip of surgical adhesive tape; and was applied in the position of the shorn skin of 3 healthy young adult new Zealand white Rabbits under semi occlusive conditions.

Four hours after application the corset and patches were removed from each animal and any residual test material removed by gentle swabbing with cotton wool soaked in distilled water followed by diethyl ether.

Approximately one hour following the removal of the patches, and 24,48 and 72 hours later, the test sites were examined for evidence of primary irritation and scored according to the Draize scale J.H. (1959) Association of food and Drug Officials of the United States, Austin, Texas, 'The Appraisal of the Safety of Chemicals 1n Foods, Drugs and Cosmetics":

An additional observation was made on day 7 to asses reversibility of skin reactions

The test substance produced very slight erythema at 2 treated skin sites at hour 24 and at one treated skin site at hour 48 and 72 of observation. Desquamation was confined to one treated skin site at the 7 day observation.

No corrosive effects were noted. 

Test material was classified as non-irritant according to CLP-labelling regulations. No symbol and risk phrase are required.

Testing for primary dermal irritation showed that the substance is non-irritant to the skin.

In an eye irritation/corrosion study, 98 mg of the test substance was administered once to the non-irrigated right eye of three rabbits. In each case the untreated eyes served as a control.

The aim of this study was to assess the irritancy potential of the test substance after a single administration to the rabbit eye.

A single application of the test substance to the non-irrigated eye of three rabbits produced a transient slight to moderate conjunctival irritation. Diffuse corneal opacity was confined to one treated eye. All treated eyes appeared normal seven days after treatment.

The test material did not produce positive criteria in any rabbit according to the CLP labeling regulation and was classified as non-irritant. No symbol and risk phrase are therefore required.
