DECISION CRITERIA
A test item is considered irritant in the skin irritation test if:
-The relative mean tissue viability of three individual tissues after 15 minutes of exposure to the test item and 42 hours of post incubation is ≤ 50% of the mean viability of the negative controls.
A test item is considered non-irritant in the in vitro skin irritation test if:
-The relative mean tissue viability of three individual tissues after 15 minutes of exposure to the test item and 42 hours of post incubation is > 50% of the mean viability of the negative controls.

DEMONSTRATION OF TECHNICAL PROFICIENCY:
The positive control had a mean cell viability after 15 ± 0.5 minutes exposure of 8.8 and 8.1 in the first and second experiment respectively The absolute mean OD570 of the negative control tissues was within the laboratory historical control data range. The standard deviation value of the percentage viability of three tissues treated identically was less than 14%, for the negative and positive control indicating that the test system functioned properly.

ACCEPTANCE OF RESULTS:
- Acceptance criteria met for negative control: yes
- Acceptance criteria met for positive control: yes
- Acceptance criteria met for variability between replicate measurements: yes

Any other information on results incl. tables

Since the individual values of the first experiment were both above and below 50% (39, 40 and 51% respectively) the test was inconclusive and a repeat experiment was performed. In the second test, the mean tissue viability was 63% (58, 67 and 65% respectively), which is above the threshold of 50% for irritation.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:

other: Skin irritant

Remarks:

based on CLP criteria (Annex I of 1272/2008/EC)

Conclusions:

Under the conditions of this test, the relative mean tissue viability for the test item determined to be respectively 43% and 63%. The value of the first experiment is below the threshold for irritancy of ≤50%, but this experiment was found to be inconclusive. The repeat experiment was negative for irritation. Based on the results obtained, it can be concluded that Ylang Ylang III is worst-case an irritant to skin and could be classified as such in accordance with the criteria outlined in Annex I of the CLP Regulation (1272/2008/EC).

Executive summary:

The skin irritation potential of Ylang Ylang III was tested in accordance with OECDTG439. Undiluted Ylang Ylang III was topically applied to the skin model for 15 minutes. After a 42 hour post-incubation period, determination of the cytotoxic (irritancy) effect was performed using MTT conversion measurements. Ylang Ylang III did not interact with the MTT. The relative mean tissue viability obtained after 15 ± 0.5 minutes treatment with Ylang Ylang III compared to the negative control tissues was 43%. Since the individual values were both above and below 50% (39, 40 and 51% respectively) the test was inconclusive and a repeat experiment was performed. In the second test, the mean tissue viability was 63% (58, 67 and 65% respectively). Both the positive and the negative control were within the historical control data range and therefore considered valid. Furthermore, the standard deviation value of the percentage viability of three tissues treated identically was less than 14%, indicating that the test system functioned properly. Under the conditions of this test, the relative mean tissue viability for the test item determined to be respectively 43% and 63%. The value of the first experiment is below the threshold for irritancy of ≤50%, but this experiment was found to be inconclusive. The repeat experiment was negative for irritation. Based on the results obtained, it can be concluded that Ylang Ylang III is worst-case an irritant to skin and could be classified as such in accordance with the criteria outlined in Annex I of the CLP Regulation (1272/2008/EC).
