Description of key information

Skin irritation (in vitro): Key study. Test method according to the OECD Guideline 439 with GLP study. The test item pine oil 50% was performed with the reconstructed human SkinEthic RHE®model. The mean percent viability of the treated tissues was 4.3% versus 2.0% in the positive control. Therefore, the test item must be considered as skin irritant (cat 2) or skin corrosive (Cat 1).

Skin corrosion (in vitro): Key study. Test method according to the OECD Guideline 431 with GLP study. Under RHE test method performed in EpiCS® model the test item pine oil 50% does not have to be classified as skin corrosive (cat. 1).

Eye irritation (in vitro): Weight of Evidence. Test method according to the OECD Guideline 438 with GLP. No prediction could be made for the test item in the ICE test since the combination of the 3 endpoints was 1 x IV, 1 x II, 1 x I. Thus, additional testing was conducted in order to establish a definitive classification of the test substance.

Eye irritation (in vivo): Weight of Evidence. Test method according to the OECD 405 Guideline with GLP. Based on the results of an acute eye irritation study performed on New Zealand White rabbits, the test substance is classified as irritating to eyes (category 2).

Acceptability criteria:

SD≤18%.

Negative control: OD value of the 3 replicates in the range ≥ 0.8 and ≤ 3.0. The optical density was measured after a 1:2 dilution of the formazan extracts in isopropanol; the acceptability criteria should be in the range ≥ 0.4 and ≤1.5 for the negative control.

Interpretation of results:
other: classified as corrosive (Cat 1) or irritant (Cat 2) (CLP Regulation EC no. 1272/2008)
Conclusions:
In the in vitro skin irritation RHE method, the mean percent viability of the treated tissues was 4.3% versus 2.0% in the positive control (5% Sodium Dodecyl Sulfate). Therefore, the test item must be considered as skin irritant (cat 2) or skin corrosive (Cat 1).
Executive summary:

An in vitro skin irritation test of the test item was performed in a reconstructed human SkinEthic RHE® model, according to OECD TG 439 (GLP study). Three epidermis units were treated with 16 μL test item for 42 minutes at room temperature. Exposure of the test item was terminated by rinsing with 25 x 1 mL of DPBS. The epidermis units were then incubated at 37°C for 42 hours in an incubator with 5% CO2. The viability of each disk was assessed by incubating the tissues with MTT, extracting the precipitated formazan crystals using isopropanol during 2 hours under gentle agitation in the dark, and measuring the concentration of formazan by determining the OD at 570 nm, just after dilution of the extracts 1:2 in isopropanol. Under test conditions, the mean percent viability of the treated tissues was 4.3%, versus 2.0% in the positive control (5% Sodium Dodecyl Sulfate). Therefore, the test item must be considered as skin irritant (cat 2) or skin corrosive (Cat 1).

As the extract was diluted at 1:3 just before the OD measure, the acceptability criteria should be in the range ≥ 0.3 and ≤ 0.9 for the negative control.

Interpretation of results:
other: non classified as corrosive (Cat 1) (CLP Regulation EC no. 1272/2008)
Conclusions:
Under RHE test method performed in EpiCS® model the test item does not have to be classified as skin corrosive (cat. 1).
Executive summary:

An in vitro skin corrosion test for the test item was performed in a reconstructed human epidermis EpiCS® model, according to OECD TG 431 (GLP study). Two epidermis units were treated with 50 µL test item for 3 minutes at room temperature and for 1 hour, at 37°C, 5% CO2. Exposure of the test item was terminated by rinsing with 20 x 1 mL of DPBS. The viability of each disk was assessed by incubating the tissues with MTT, extracting the precipitated formazan crystals using isopropanol during 2 hours under agitation in the dark, and measuring the concentration of formazan by determining the OD at 570 nm, just after dilution of the extracts 1:3 in isopropanol. Under test conditions, the mean percent viabilities of the treated tissues were 103.24% (for 3 min exposure) and 28.19% (for 60 min exposure) versus 20.32% and 0.23%, respectively, with the positive control item (potassium hydroxide 8N). Therefore, the test item must be considered as non-corrosive.

Conclusions:
Under the test conditions, d-limonene is considered irritating to skin but the effects are not sufficient for classification according to CLP Regulation (EC) N° 1272/2008.
Executive summary:

In a primary dermal irritation study performed according to OECD guideline 404 and in compliance with GLP, three albino rabbits were dermally exposed to 0.5 mL of undiluted d-limonene, 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 were 2, 2, 2 for erythema score and 1.33, 2, 1.33 for oedema score. Signs of erythema and oedema, as well as desquamation from skin surface, were observed in all animals on Day 7. In this study, d-limonene was found to be skin irritant when applied topically to the rabbit. Under the test conditions, d-limonene is considered irritating to skin but the effects are not sufficient for classification according to CLP Regulation (EC) N° 1272/2008.

* slight desquamation from skin surface after 7 days

Conclusions:
Under the test conditions, d-limonene is irritating to skin but the effects are not sufficient for classification according to CLP Regulation (EC) N° (1272-2008).
Executive summary:

In a primary dermal irritation study performed according to OECD guideline 404 and in compliance with GLP, four albino rabbits were dermally exposed to 0.5 mL of undiluted d-limonene, 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 4 animals were 2, 2, 1.67, 2 for erythema score and 1.33, 0.67, 1.33, 2 for oedema score. Slight desquamation was observed in 2/4 animals on day 7. In this study, d-limonene was found to be skin irritant when applied topically to the rabbit. Under the test conditions, d-limonene is irritating to skin but the effects are not sufficient for classification according to CLP Regulation (EC) N° (1272-2008).

OBSERVATION TIME POINTS : The ears were examined for redness after 30 minutes and then 15 minute interval until two observations indicated that further redness would not occur.

SCORING SYSTEM:
- Method of calculation:
The time of maximum erythema was noted. The number of ears eliciting the degree of redness corresponding to at least ++ intensity on Hecker's scale at peak irritancy (Hecker 1971) also mentioned by Evans and Schmidt (1979) were noted and expressed in μg / 5 μI per ear.
The chronic effects of the test compound on the animals skin were also recorded after one and two days to ascertain the chronic inflammatory dose. Animals with at least ++ intensity after 24 and 48 hours were recorded and denoted by IU (Irritant units) (Hecker 1971).
The total number of red ears per dilution was tabulated. ID50 (Irritant dose in 50% individuals ) along with the upper and lower confidence limits were calculated by probit analysis.

Conclusions:
Under the test conditions, alpha terpineol was found to be a skin irritant.

Executive summary:

The irritant potentials of Lavandula stoechas were investigated on albino mice. Six of its components were evaluated for irritancy by open mouse ear assay. Alpha terpineol was dissolved in acetone (10 mg/10 mL (w /v) solution). Further dilutions were prepared. Doses of 0.15625, 0.3125, 0.625, 1.25, 2.5 and 5 µg/5 µL were applied to inner surface of animal’s ear. The ears were examined for redness after 30 minutes and then 15 minute interval until two observations indicated that further redness would not occur. The time of maximum erythema was noted. The number of ears eliciting the degree of redness according to Hecker's scale were noted and expressed in μg / 5 μI per ear. The chronic effects after 24 and 48 hours were recorded and denoted by IU (Irritant units). ID50 (Irritant dose in 50% individuals ) were calculated by probit analysis. ID50 of alpha terpineol was found to be 0.853 µg/5 µL and its reaction lasted for 24 h, indicating IU = 0.625 µg/5 µL after 24 h. It is concluded that alpha terpineol is a skin irritant.

Conclusions:
1,8-cineole was found slightly irritant in Wistar rats according to the Draize scoring system.


Executive summary:

In an acute primary irritation test performed by following the classic Draize test, Wistar rats in groups of 5 animals were dermally exposed for 4 hours to 50 µL of undiluted 1,8-cineole at concentrations of 0.094%, 0.188%, 0.375%, 0.750% and 1.500%, smeared onto the shaved back of each animal. Irritation was scored for erythema and edema formation by the method of Draize at 0, 24 and 48 hours after exposure. Slight erythema (score 1) was found in the 0.75% and 1.5% groups at 24 and 48 h, while slight edema (score 1) was found only in the 1.5% group at 48 h. Based on these results, 1 -8 -cineole was determined to present slight irritation under Draize scoring system.

Details on study design:
SELECTION AND PREPARATION OF ISOLATED EYES
The eyelids were carefully excised, taking care not to damage the cornea. Then, the eye was further dissected from the skull, taking care not to damage the cornea. The eyeball was pulled from the orbit by holding the nictitating membrane firmly with surgical forceps, and the eye muscles were cut with a bent, blunt-tipped scissor. When the eye is removed from the orbit, a visible portion of the optic nerve should be left attached. Once removed from the orbit, the eye was placed on an absorbent pad and the nictitating membrane and other connective tissue were cut away.
The enucleated eye was mounted in a stainless steel clamp with the cornea positioned vertically. The clamp was then transferred to a chamber of the superfusion apparatus. The clamps were positioned in the superfusion apparatus such that the entire cornea was supplied with the physiological saline drip (in the range 0.1 to 0.15 mL/min). The chambers of the superfusion apparatus was temperature controlled between 32.3ºC and 32.4ºC.
After being placed in the superfusion apparatus, the eyes were examined with a slit-lamp microscope to ensure that they have not been damaged during the dissection procedure using sodium fluorescein. Corneal thickness was also measured at this time at the corneal apex using the depth measuring device on the slit-lamp microscope.
Eyes with; (i), a fluorescein retention score of > 0.5; (ii) corneal opacity > 0.5; or, (iii), any additional signs of damage were replaced. For eyes that are not rejected based on any of these criteria, individual eyes with a corneal thickness deviating more than 10% from the mean value for all eyes are to be rejected.
Once all eyes had been examined and approved, the eyes were incubated between 45 and 64 minutes to equilibrate them to the test system prior to dosing.

EQUILIBRATION AND BASELINE RECORDINGS:
Eyes were incubated between 45 and 59 minutes to equilibrate them to the test system prior to dosing.
Following the equilibration period, a zero reference measurement was recorded for corneal thickness and opacity to serve as a baseline (i.e., time = 0). The fluorescein score determined at dissection was used as the baseline measurement for that endpoint.

NUMBER OF REPLICATES: 3

NEGATIVE CONTROL USED
30 μL physiological saline - Dutscher Batch No. 3013327 (one eye)

SOLVENT CONTROL USED: not applicable.

POSITIVE CONTROL USED
5% (w/v) Benzalkonium chloride –Sigma–Batch No. BCBQ9761V - 30 μL (three eyes)

APPLICATION DOSE AND EXPOSURE TIME
30 μL of the test item was applied for 10 seconds.

OBSERVATION PERIOD: Treated corneas were evaluated pretreatment and starting at 30, 75, 120, 180, and 240 minutes (± 5 minutes) after the post-treatment rinse.

REMOVAL OF TEST SUBSTANCE
- Volume and washing procedure after exposure period: The test item was rinsed from the eye after 10 seconds of observation with 20 mL of physiological saline at ambient temperature.
- Indicate any deviation from test procedure in the Guideline: NO

METHODS FOR MEASURED ENDPOINTS:
- Corneal opacity: It was calculated by using the area of the cornea that was most densely opacified for scoring. The mean corneal opacity value for all test eyes was calculated for all observation time points (see table 4)
- Damage to epithelium based on fluorescein retention: Fluorescein retention value for all test eyes was calculated for the 30-minute observation time point only, which was used for the overall category score given for each test or control item (Table No.5)
- Swelling: optical pachymeter on a slit-lamp microscope ((HaagStreit BP900 slit-lamp microscope with depth-measuring device no. I). The slit-width was set at 9 1/2 equalling 0.095 mm. The mean percentage of corneal swelling for all test eyes was calculated for all observation time points. Based on the highest mean score for corneal swelling, as observed at any time point, an overall category score was then given for each test item (see table 3).
- Macroscopic morphological damage to the surface: The aim of this evaluation was to determine whether any “pitting” of corneal epithelial cells, “loosening” of epithelium, “roughening” of the corneal surface and “sticking” of the test item to the cornea were visible.These findings can vary in severity and may occur simultaneously.

SCORING SYSTEM:
- Mean corneal swelling: It was expressed as a percentage and was calculated from corneal thickness measurements according to the following formula:
(corneal thickness measurement at time t - corneal thickness at time=0 / corneal thickness at ime=0 )*100

- Mean maximum opacity score:
0 - No opacity,
0.5 -Very faint opacity
1- Scattered or diffuse areas; details of the iris clearly visible
2- Easily discernible translucent area; details of the ris are slightly obscured,
3-Severe corneal opacity; no specific details of the iris are visible; size of the pupil is barely discernible
4-Complete corneal opacity; iris invisible

- Mean fluorescein retention score at 30 minutes post-treatment :

Interpretation of results:
other: no prediction can be made (CLP Regulation EC no. 1272/2008)
Conclusions:
Under experimental conditions, no prediction can be made for the test item in the ICE test.
Executive summary:

An in vitro (ex vivo) study was conducted in order to determine the potential severe eye damaging effects of the test item according to the OECD guideline 438 under GLP conditions. Eyeballs were isolated from chickens killed for human consumption and after the appropriate preparation were exposed to either 30 μL of the test item, 30 μL of 5% Benzalkonium chloride (positive control) or 30μL of physiological saline (negative control). Three eyeballs were used in test item and positive groups, and one for the negative control group. Fluorescein retention, corneal opacity and corneal swelling were evaluated, then the results of each endpoint were assigned to ICE classes according to OECD guideline 438. Under experimental conditions, no prediction can be made for the test item in the ICE test since the combination of the 3 endpoints was 1 x IV, 1 x II, 1 x I.

Interpretation of results:
other: classified as irritating to eyes (Cat 2) (CLP Regulation EC no. 1272/2008)
Conclusions:
Based on the results of an acute eye irritation study performed on New Zealand White rabbits, the test substance is classified as irritating to eyes (category 2).


Executive summary:

The eye irritation potential of the test substance was determined in accordance with the OECD guideline 405 with GLP. Three young adult albino New Zealand rabbits were given a single ocular application of 0.1 mL test substance in one eye of the rabbit while the contralateral eye remained untreated and served as the control. Animals were observed at 1, 24, 48, 72 h. Thereafter, in case of persistent reactions, additional observations were carried out from D7 to D21 in order to determine the reversible character of the lesions observed. The corneal opacity, iris and the conjunctivae (redness and chemosis) scores were recorded. The mean eye irritation scores at 24, 48 and 72 h post-application observations for each animal were 1.3, 1.3 and 1.0 for corneal opacity, 0.0, 0.0 and 0.0 for iris effects, 1.3, 0.7 and 2.0 for conjunctival redness and 0.3, 0.7 and 1.0 for conjunctival chemosis. These effects were fully reversible between days 2 and 14 for all animals. Based on these results the test substance is classified as irritating to eyes (category 2) according to CLP Regulation.
