Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.

The new ECHA CHEM database has been released by ECHA, and it now contains all REACH registration data. There are more details on the transition of ECHA's published data to ECHA CHEM here.

Additional information

A GLP-compliant investigation of the toxicological effects resulting from repeated oral-gavage administration to rats was performed following OECD guideline 422 without deviations with with the test substance (Pigment Yellow 155, BASF, 2013). Pigment Yellow 155 was administered in water as vehicle at dosages of 100, 300, and 1000 mg/kg body weight/day, and controls received the vehicle only. Pigment Yellow 155 was administered to male rats for 41 days and to female rats for 52 days including time prior to pairing, through the pairing and gestation periods until the F1 generation reached day 4 post-partum. Treatment with the test item up and including 1000 mg/kg bw/day did not reveal any clinical signs or histological findings and did not affect reproduction. All dose-treated males and females had dose-related yellow discolored feces during the treatment period. This finding is considered to be a typical effect resulting from oral administration of a yellow dyestuff and not adverse. Based on these results a general NOAEL (No Observed Adverse Effect Level) was considered to be 1000 mg/kg body weight/day. 

Justification for classification or non-classification

Classification, Labelling, and Packaging Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008
The available experimental test data are reliable and suitable for classification purposes under Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008. Based on available data on repeated dose toxicity, the test item is not classified according to Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008 (CLP).
