Any other information on results incl. tables

All test sites were graded for erythema and edema 24 and 48 hours post-application using a four-point ordinal scale

 0 = no reaction,

 1 = slight reaction,

2 = moderate reaction and

3 = severe reaction.

A positive reaction was defined as an erythema/edema

value during the challenge phase of at least one skin grade higher than during the last induction phase

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
other: not sensitizing
Conclusions:
The test substance Disperse violet 4 (CAS No: 1220-94-6) was considered to be non -sensitizing in guinea pig by modified Buehler and Klecak method.
Executive summary:

Skin sensitization test for Disperse violet 4 (CAS No:1220-94-6) was conducted in guinea pig usingmodified Buehler and Klecak method for open Epicutaneous testing.

 

For the induction phase, the left flanks of 10 albino guinea pigs were shaved and the test materialDisperse violet 4wasapplied three times weekly (Monday, Wednesday Friday) for three consecutive weeks. Each animal received 0.1 ml of the material over a 1.8-cm circular area.

 

Following the induction period, the guinea pigs entered the challenge phase. The challenge phase began after a two-week rest period when the right flank of each guinea pig was shaved and exposed to three different dye test material concentration (10.0%, 5.0%, and 2.50%of the induction concentration).

 

Twenty-four hours after the last induction and challenge application, the animals were depilated to clearly observe dermal reactions.The test sites were graded for erythema and edema 24 and 48 hours post-application using a four-point ordinal scale (0 = no reaction, 1 -- slight reaction, 2 = moderate reaction, 3 = severe reaction. A positive reaction was defined as an erythema/edema value during the challenge phase of at least one skin grade higher than during the last induction phase.

 

 No erythema/edema was observed after 24 and 48 hours post-application. Hence the test substanceDisperse violet 4(CAS No:1220-94-6)was considered as not sensitizing to the guinea pigs skin.
