Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
Category 2 (irritant) based on GHS criteria
Conclusions:
Positive reactions were seen in 2 out of total 8 cases. Thus the test chemical 1-[(2,4-dimethylphenyl)diazenyl]-2-naphthol (CAS No: 3118-97-6) was considered to be irritating in human patients suffering from pigmented contact dermatitis caused by the commercial Brilliant Lake Red R.
Executive summary:

A patch test was performed in human patients suffering from pigmented contact dermatitis caused by the commercial Brilliant Lake Red R for test chemical 1-[(2,4-dimethylphenyl)diazenyl]-2-naphthol (CAS No: 3118-97-6) to assess its irritation efficacy.

 

The patch of 1-[(2,4-dimethylphenyl)diazenyl]-2-naphthol was applied onto the back of each patient for 24 hours by usingFinn Chambers® on Scanpor® (Epitest, Ltd. Oy). After removal of patch, skin reactions were assessed according to the ICDRG classification for 2 days.

 

Twenty-eight healthy female volunteers, aged 20 and 21, were also tested with the sample as controls. None gave a positive reaction.

 

Since thepositive reactions were seen in 2 out of total 8 cases,the test chemical1-[(2,4-dimethylphenyl)diazenyl]-2-naphthol (CAS No: 3118-97-6)was considered to be irritating in human patients suffering from pigmented contact dermatitis caused by the commercial Brilliant Lake Red R.
