Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
other: not classified
Remarks:
based on CLP criteria
Conclusions:
Under the conditions of this study, the testing material gave no reactions that were considerted significantly irritant or allergic. Based on this result, the test substance does not need to be classified for skin irritation in accordance with the criteria outlined in the CLP Regulation (1272/2008/EC).
Executive summary:

The sensitizing and irritation potential of Eucalyptus Citrodora on humans was tested in a maximization test. Materials were pretested to determine whether Sodium Lauryl Sulfate (SLS) pretreatment was required; and as a result all subjects were pretreated with 5% SLS (patch sites were pretreated for 24 hours). The materials were applied under occlusion on the volar aspects of the forearm for 5 alternate day 48 hour periods. After a 10-14 day resting period, challenge patches were applied under occlusion to fresh sites for 48 hours. The challenge application was preceded by 30-minute applications of 5% SDS, and without SLS on the right side. Under the conditions of this study, the testing material gave no reactions that were considered significantly irritant or allergic. Based on this result, the test substance does not need to be classified for skin irritation in accordance with the criteria outlined in the CLP Regulation (1272/2008/EC).
