Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
other: Skin irritant Cat. 2
Remarks:
according to EU CLP (EC No. 1272/2008 and its amendments).
Conclusions:
Mean individual scores at 24, 48 and 72 h after exposure for the 3 animals of the first test were 1.67, 2 and 2.33 for erythema score and 2, 2.33 and 3 for edema score. For the second test the mean individual scores were 2, 2.67, 2 and 2 for erythema score and 3, 3, 2.67 and 1.67 for edema score. For the third test the mean individual scores were 2, 2, 1.67 and 2 for erythema score and 2.67, 2, 0.67 and 3 for edema score. Under the test conditions the substance is considered to be irritating to the skin because the average oedema score exceeded 2.5 (CLP) and the effects were not fully reversible within the observation period of 7 days
Executive summary:

In three primary dermal irritation studies performed according to OECD guideline 404 and in compliance with GLP, three or four albino rabbits were dermally exposed to 0.5 mL of undiluted alpha-Terpineol under a semi-occlusive patch for 4 hours to intact skin of the flank. Animals were then observed for 7 days. Irritation was scored by the method of Draize at 1, 24, 48 and 72 hours and 7 days after exposure. Mean individual scores at 24, 48 and 72 h after exposure for the 3 animals of the first test were 1.67, 2 and 2.33 for erythema score and 2, 2.33 and 3 for edema score. For the second test the mean individual scores were 2, 2.67, 2 and 2 for erythema score and 3, 3, 2.67 and 1.67 for edema score. For the third test the mean individual scores were 2, 2, 1.67 and 2 for erythema score and 2.67, 2, 0.67 and 3 for edema score. Under the test conditions the substance is considered to be irritating to the skin because the average oedema score exceeded 2.5 and the effects were not fully reversible within the observation period of 7 days.
