Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
67/548/EEC: Skin irritation: no classification warranted
1272/2008/EC: Skin irritation: no classification warranted

In a OECD guideline and GLP compliant primary skin irritation test in rabbits, the test item (Pigment Red 112) caused grade 0-1 erythema and edema after 30-60 minutes, while neither erythema nor edema were observed 24, 48 and 72 hours after application of the test substance. Therefore, the test item (Pigment Red 112) was regarded as not skin irritating.
Executive summary:

The primary skin irritation potential of the test item was investigated according to OECD test guideline no. 404. The test item was applied by topical semi-occlusive application of 0.5 g to the intact flank of each of three young adult New Zealand White rabbits. The duration of treatment was four hours. The scoring of skin reactions was performed 30 - 60 min, 24, 48 and 72 hours after removal of the dressing. The application of the test item to the skin resulted in mild, early-onset and transient signs of irritation such as erythema. These effects were reversible and were no longer evident 24 hours after treatment for all animals. Staining of the treated skin was noted in all animals until the 24 -hour reading. No corrosive effects were noted on the treated skin of any animal at any of the measuring intervals and no clinical signs were observed. Thus, the test item did not induce significant irritative or irreversible damage to the skin. Therefore, Permanent-Rot FGR 02 is considered to be "not irritating" to rabbit skin.
