Irritant / corrosive response data:
Topical application of Coupe Aromatique 180 -230 elicited mild dermal responses. The erythema was noted as slight at the 72 hour time point while the edema that was noted in the animals was completely reversed by the 48 hour observation.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
other: Not irritating
Remarks:
Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
Conclusions:
The average erythema score (24,48, and 72 hours) was 1.3. The average edema score (24,48, and 72 hours) was 0.33. Classification as a dermal irritant is not warranted under the new Regulation (EC) 1272/2008 on classification, labeling and packaging of substances and mixtures (CLP) or under Directive 67/518/EEC for dangerous substances and Directive 1999/45/EC for preparations.
Executive summary:

In this study, 6 rabbits were subjected to a 4h dermal (shaved) exposure of 0.5 ml of Coupe Aromatique 180 -230 via a semi-occluded patch. Dermal responses were evaluated at 1, 24, 48, and 72h post-dosing according to the Draize method of scoring. At the 1, 24, and 72 hour observations two animals were noted with a well defined erythema and edema.  The average erythema score (24,48, and 72 hours) was 1.3. The average edema score (24,48, and 72 hours) was 0.33.

Classification as a dermal irritant is not warranted under the new Regulation (EC) 1272/2008 on classification, labeling and packaging of substances and mixtures (CLP) or under Directive 67/518/EEC for dangerous substances and Directive 1999/45/EC for preparations.
