Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
not sensitising
Conclusions:
Terpineol multiconstituent should not be classified according to CLP Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008.
Executive summary:

In a skin sensitization study performed according to the OECD guideline 406 and conducted in compliance with GLP, Terpineol multiconstituent was tested in male albino guinea pigs using the Guinea pig Maximisation test method (10 treated animals and 5 control animals).

Preliminary studies were conducted to dertermine the maximal non necrotising concentration through intradermal injections and the maximal non irritant concentration by topical application. Six concentrations were tested for intradermal injections and for topical application: 100, 50, 25, 12.5, 6.25 and 3.125% in olive oil.

In the main experiment, the induction phase for the test group consisted of:

one pair of intradermal injections of test substance at 6.25% in olive oil

one pair of intradermal injections of Freund's complete adjuvant diluted 50% in physiological saline

one pair of intradermal injections of mixture of equal volumes of Freund's complete adjuvant at 50% and test substance at 12.5% in olive oil.

For control group, test substance was replaced by isotonic solution of NaCl.

Seven days later, undiluted test substance was applied topically for 48 h, followed by a rest phase of 17 days.

For the challenge phase, all animals were exposed to 25 and 12.5% of the test susbtance by topical application under occlusive conditions for 24 h. Cutaneous reactions were recorded 24 and 48 h after the removal of the test substance.

Hexylcinnamicaldehyde and mercaptobenzothiazole were used as positive controls and induced positive sensitization responses in test animals.

No cutaneous reactions following the removal of the occlusive dressing from all animals were observed at 24 and 48 h readings.

Terpineol multiconstituent can be considered as a non sensitiser and should not be classified according to CLP Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008.
