MAIN STUDY
A. INTRADERMAL INDUCTION
- No of Injections: 2 x 3 preparations: 50% FCA, 5% TS in 0.9% NaCl, 5% TS in 50% FCA - treatment group
50% FCA, 0.9% NaCl, 50% FCA - control and attending group
- Exposure period: Injection on Day 1, observation Day 1 to Day 8
- Site: shoulder

B. DERMAL INDUCTION EXPOSURE
- No. of exposures: one
- Exposure period: 48 hours
- Test groups: TS in 0.9% NaCl
- Control group: 0.9% NaCl
- Site: shoulder
- Frequency of applications: single
- Duration: Day 8 to Day 22
- Concentrations: 25%

C. CHALLENGE EXPOSURE
- No. of exposures: 1
- Day(s) of challenge: 22 (15 for attending group)
- Exposure period: 24 hours
- Test groups: TS + water
- Control group: TS + 0.9% NaCl
- Site: right flank: TS; left flank: 0.9% NaCl
- Concentrations: 25%
- Evaluation (hr after challenge): 24 and 48 hours
Challenge controls:
In addition to the control group, 5 further guinea pigs (attending group) were used to confirm that challenge exposure with 25% TS would not lead to dermal irritation in animals pre-treated with 50% FCA.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
There was no evidence of a positive reaction in animals after challenge treatment with Reactive Red 198 in the present study.
According to the classification criteria of Directive 83/467/EEC, Reactive Red 198 is not sensitizing in the guinea pig maximization test and therefore not subject to labelling requirements.
Executive summary:

Testing for sensitizing properties of Remazol-Rot RB FW getr. was performed in female Guinea pigs according to the method of MAGNUSSON &KLIGMAN.

Intradermal induction was performed using 5% Remazol-Rot RB FW getr. in isotonic saline. Dermal induction and challenge treatment were carried out with 25% Remazol-Rot RB FW getr. in isotonic saline.

Under the conditions of the present study, none of ten animals of the treatment group showed a positive skin response after the challenge procedure.

Based on the results of this study there is no evidence for sensitizing properties of Remazol-Rot RB FW getr.
