Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
other: not irritating
Conclusions:
No signs of erythema or edema were observed on the intact and abraded skin of the 6 rabbits after 24 and 72 hours of patch removal.
The Primary Irritation Index was calculated to be 0.0.
Based on the scores and observations, it was concluded that C.I. Direct Blue 218[CAS: 28407-37-6] was not irritating to skin.
Executive summary:

A study was performed in rabbits to determine the dermal irritation potential of C.I. Direct Blue 218. The study was conducted as per 16 CFR 1500.41 &16 CFR 1500.3 Guidelines.6 New Zealand white rabbits were used for the study. After at least seven days of equilibration, the back and sides of each rabbit were clipped free of fur with an electric clipper. Rabbits with dermal lesions or irritation were replaced. One day after clipping, the left side of the spinal column was abraded (minor incisions which did not disturb the derma or produce bleeding). 0.5 g of the test material was applied to the intact and abraded skin of the back of the rabbits. The material was covered with dry surgical gauze, one inch square, two layers thick. The patches were secured with adhesive tape; the trunk was wrapped with impervious material. After 24 hours, the patches were removed. The dermal reactions were scored by the Draize technique at 24 and 72 hours. The primary dermal index was calculated.

No signs of erythema or edema were observed on the intact and abraded skin of the 6 rabbits after 24 and 72 hours of patch removal. 

The Primary Irritation Index was calculated to be 0.0.

Based on the scores and observations, it was concluded that C.I. Direct Blue 218 [CAS: 28407-37-6] was not irritating to skin.
