05 February 2018 READ-ACROSS STUDY / YLANG YLANG III OIL - ACUTE ORAL TOXICITY I&B9W8768R001F0.2

1 Executive Summary
According to Annex VII, 8.5 of the REACh Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006, acute toxicity by the oral route is standard information required for the registration of substances manufactured or imported in quantities of one tonne per year or more. However, according to Annex XI, 1.5 of the REACH Regulation, Read-across and grouping approaches can be used to adapt the standard testing regime. This read-across study report follows notably the recommendations made by the European Chemicals Agency in its “Guidance on information requirements and chemical safety assessment Chapter R.6 – QSARs and grouping of chemicals” (ECHA, 2008) and in its document “Read-Across Assessment Framework (RAAF)” (ECHA, 2017).

A read-across approach appears appropriate to predict the endpoint “, Acute toxicity by the oral route” for the substance Ylang Ylang III oil because:

The source substance used in this read-across, Ylang Ylang Ext/ I/ II oil, gives rise to the highest concern regarding the acute toxicity endpoint, as the constituents with known acute oral toxicological potential (4-Methylanisole, Linalool, Benzyl acetate) add up to 1 – 44 % (w/w) in the source versus 0.3 - 7.4 % (w/w) in the target UVCB.
An acute oral toxicity study, according to OECD test guideline 401, is available for the substance Ylang Ylang Ext, which has a composition very similar to the target substance.


This report follows the RAAF method and so presents:
1) The hypothesis: analogue read-across approach, based on the similarity of the structures and the acute oral toxicity for these types of structures;
2) The scientific justifications (“Assessment Elements”) and their evaluation (“Assessment Options”); which demonstrate the confidence that can be put in this prediction.
3) The conclusions, usable for classification assessment or risk assessment, which are summarised hereafter.

Based on this information, this substance does not need to be classified according to the classification criteria outlined in Annex I of the CLP Regulation (1272/2008/EC).
Executive summary:

A single 5000 mg/kg bw dose of Ylang Oil Extra was administered by oral gavage to 10 male Wistar rats. The animals were observed for 14 days. No mortality was noted. Coma and chromodacryorrhea were observed 24 h post-treatment, effects that could no longer be detected 48 h after treatment. The oral LD50 value of Ylang Oil Extra in rats was established to be higher than 5000 mg/kg bw and was used for read-across to Ylang Ylang III oil.

23 April 2018 READ-ACROSS STUDY / YLANG YLANG III OIL / ACUTE DERMAL TOXICITY I&B9W8768R001F0.1


Executive Summary
According to Annex VII, 8.5 of the REACh Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006, acute toxicity by the dermal route is standard information required for the registration of substances manufactured or imported in quantities of one tonne per year or more. However, according to Annex XI, 1.5 of the REACH Regulation, Read-across and grouping approaches can be used to adapt the standard testing regime. This read-across study report follows notably the recommendations made by the European Chemicals Agency in its “Guidance on information requirements and chemical safety assessment Chapter R.6 – QSARs and grouping of chemicals” (ECHA, 2008) and in its document “Read-Across Assessment Framework (RAAF)” (ECHA, 2017).

A read-across approach appears appropriate to predict the endpoint “, Acute toxicity by the dermal route” for the substance Ylang Ylang III oil because:

The source substance used in this read-across, Ylang Ylang Ext /I /II oil , gives rise to the highest concern regarding the acute toxicity endpoint, as the constituents with known acute toxicological potential (Benzyl acetate, Methyl benzoate, 4-Methylanisole) add up to 2.2 – 29% (w/w) in the source versus 0.3 – 2.6% (w/w) in the target UVCB.
An acute dermal toxicity study, according to OECD test guideline 402, is available for the substance Ylang Ylang Ext, which has a composition very similar to the target substance.


This report follows the RAAF method and so presents:
1) The hypothesis: analogue read-across approach, based on the similarity of the structures and the acute dermal toxicity for these types of structures;

Conclusions:
The acute dermal toxicity of Ylang Ylang III oil was read across from Ylang Ylang Oil Extra. The dermal LD50 value of Ylang Oil Extra in rabbits was established to be higher than 5000 mg/kg bw, under the conditions of this study. The substance therefore does not need to be classified for acute dermal toxicity according to the classification criteria outlined in Annex I of the CLP Regulation (1272/2008/EC).
Executive summary:

The acute dermal toxicity of Ylang Ylang III oil was read across from Ylang Ylang Oil Extra.

Ten rabbits were exposed to a single dose of 5000 mg/kg bw Ylang oil Extra. The animals were observed for 14 days. No mortality was noted. Skin irritation (slight and moderate redness, slight edema) was observed. The dermal LD50 value for Ylang oil Extra in rabbits was established as exceeding 5000 mg/kg body weight, under the conditions of this study. The substance therefore does not have to be classified for acute dermal toxicity according to the classification criteria outlined in Annex I of the CLP Regulation (1272/2008/EC).

Additional information

Acute oral toxicity (read-across from Ylang Ylang oil extra)

A single 5000 mg/kg bw dose of Ylang Oil Extra was administered by oral gavage to 10 male Wistar rats. The animals were observed for 14 days. No mortality was noted. Coma and chromodacryorrhea were observed 24 h post-treatment, effects that could no longer be detected 48 h after treatment. The oral LD50 value of Ylang Oil Extra in rats was established to be higher than 5000 mg/kg bw and was used for read-across to Ylang Ylang III oil.

Acute dermal toxicity (read-across from Ylang Ylang oil extra)

Ten rabbits were exposed to a single dose of 5000 mg/kg bw Ylang oil Extra. The animals were observed for 14 days. No mortality was noted. Skin irritation (slight and moderate redness, slight edema) was observed. The dermal LD50 value for Ylang oil Extra in rabbits was established as exceeding 5000 mg/kg body weight, under the conditions of this study. This result was used for read-across to Ylang Ylang III oil.

Justification for classification or non-classification

Based on the available data, Ylang Ylang III oil does not need to be classified for acute oral or dermal toxicity in accordance with the criteria outlined in Annex I of the CLP Regulation (1272/2008/EC).
