4 Skin sensitization Classification not possible - - - - No data available.
5 Germ cell mutagenicity Classification not possible - - - - No data available. As relevant information, for magenta I (632-99-5), in vivo test data are not available. From in vitro mutagenicity tests, there are reports of negative (without activation) and positive (with activation) bacterial reverse mutation tests (HSDB (2002)) and a negative Chinese hamster ovarian cell chromosomal aberration test (HSDB (2002)).
6 Carcinogenicity Category 2 Warning H351: Suspected of causing cancer P308+P313: IF exposed or concerned: Get medical advice/attention.
P201: Obtain special instructions before use.
P202: Do not handle until all safety precautions have been read and understood.
P281: Use personal protective equipment as required.
P405: Store locked up.
P501: Dispose of contents/container to ... 		Since magenta (the mixture comprising C.I. basic red 9 (569-61-9), methyl fuchsin (632-99-5), dimethyl fuchsin (26261-57-4) and trimethyl fuchsin (3248-91-7)) is classified into "Group 2B" in IARC (IARC vol. 99 (access on Jan. 2010)) and magenta (product containing CI basic red 9) is classified into "2B" in Japan Society For Occupational Health (JSOH) (Recommendations for allowable concentrations (2009)), the substance was classified into Category 2. As relevant information, magenta production is classified into "Group 1" in IARC (IARC vol. 99 (access on Jan. 2010)). For health hazards, refer also to C.I. basic red 9.
